The reporters from Ming Pao Weekly (明報周刊) went to Holland for an exclusive interview with them and saw Kevin and Grace became closer than before. Being in overseas, Kevin appeared more relaxed and when mentioned about Grace Chan, he said without any avoidance: "We have more spending time together and feel very comfortable in every conversation. She has a good character and I admire her...... As I mentioned before, please give some personal space for dating if I wish to get married."
When asked if the location shooting in Holland helped to develop their romance quickly, Kevin did not evade and was full of praise for Grace: "We went home separately during filming in Hong Kong and were divided into A and B team when departing for outdoor shooting in Holland. But we have some time to eat dinner together and this gives us additional time to understand and get along with each other. Though her experience is considered limited as filming partners, but she is very smart and a talented artiste. As for friends, she is a direct and understanding person. Despite coming from a wealthy family, she is not afraid of hardship and able to withstand pressure. Some rich girls will feel it is a major issue when their finger is hurt. However, she does not have this problem at all and it is considered very rare to me. I am full of admiration for her as she is a well-mannered with good attitude girl."
When the reporters asked if their age gap will become a barrier in terms of communication and career in their relationship development despite both looked matching in appearance, Kevin said: "It does not matter if the reports used 'father and daughter' romance to attack us. I feel communication can make friendship, relationship and married couple last long and getting along is most important. It is impossible to be together with poor communication despite compatible age. (Communicate well with Grace?) Not bad and she is an intelligent girl. Perhaps our studying overseas made it easier for communication. Plus we love to talk about movies, series and overseas talk and this created many common topics. As for career wise, Grace came from beauty pageant background and many would assume they want to attack the market quickly. But she loves acting and puts in many efforts, and does not aim to get famous. She only wishes to prove to herself and achieve satisfaction and this is considered rare in current materialistic society."
Age gap was not a factor in communication
Kevin confessed there was chances for development and Grace admitted age was not a problem in relationship: "Age is never a barrier and not a major issue even the girl is slightly older than the guy. Both become friends and it depends on the character and how he treats other, and communication is most vital. This location shooting gave a clearer picture, additional spending time together and able to see a person's true colour. This time, I saw the way how Kevin treated the cast members and crew team. I realise he is a silent person but takes care of everybody in private. In additional, he is a professional artiste and teaches me many stuff during filming. This made me admire him greatly. (Did he give you special care?) He will show concern for Law Lan (羅蘭) 'jie 姐' and carry bags for her. Once we went for location shooting and while waiting for filming to start, Kevin and others went to buy coffee and immediately brought whole basket of sweets knowing that it was a popular brand. It turned out he treated Holland and Hong Kong crew teams to sweets, as everyone worked very hard and he wanted to make them happy."
When mentioned that Kevin expressed he will ask her out later and if she will accept his dating invitation, Grace said: "Yes if I am free and we are good friends. (Will tell your parents if you are dating?) My parents and I are very close and will definitely tell them. Their top concern is to see me happy. (Did the company give any pressure or fear dating will affect the career?) Nope. Anyway, dating and career are separate matters. Meeting friends is private affair and can share with friends about any happiness or unhappiness with work. If dating in the future, I can share any issues with my boyfriend, encourage each other, and might be helpful to career too."
