Ex-TVB star Albert Law Ho-kai, 75, now relies on wheelchair to get around

Hong Kong actor Albert Law Ho-kai admitted that his deteriorating health makes him feel discouraged at times. Photo: Sin Chew Daily When Hong Kong actor Albert Law Ho-kai made his last public appearance on a talk show in 2021, he revealed that cervical spine issues had left him unable to sit upright. In a more recent interview with HK01, Law, 75, shared that he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease more than 10 years ago, and his health has steadily declined over the years. 'My condition is deteriorating. I have Parkinson's disease, and it has worsened over the past year or two. My mobility is far from ideal,' he said. Law added that he's currently unable to walk on his own and requires a wheelchair to get around. His daily needs are attended to by his wife and caretakers. Despite being wheelchair-bound, the former TVB actor maintains a sense of humour, joking that he enjoys 'speeding' near his home. Still, he admitted that he does feel a little discouraged at times. 'These days, I don't even bother seeing a doctor when I'm sick … Just sitting here feels meaningless,' he shared. Even so, Law continues to find pockets of joy in his hobbies such as singing and recording music, adding; 'I recently started learning to play the guitar too.' Since joining TVB in 1975, Law has starred in series such as Kung Fu (1975), You Only Live Twice (1982), You're Hired (2009) and Come Home Love (2012-2015), among others. In 2017, Law left the Hong Kong broadcaster and gradually retreated from the spotlight, making only occasional appearances in dramas.

#SHOWBIZ: HK actress Osanna Chiu seeks alternative jobs as TVB work dries up

HONG KONG: The Hong Kong film and television industry has been experiencing a downturn recently, with many actors seeing a drop in on-screen roles. HK01 reported yesterday that actress Osanna Chiu is among those affected. In an interview with the news portal, the 35-year-old revealed that she filmed two TVB dramas last year and another earlier in March. However, she currently has no new projects lined up with the broadcaster and is now exploring other job opportunities while waiting for her next role. "There aren't any new projects planned for now, but I'm doing my best while I wait," she said. "I've been surviving on a basic salary. It's more or less the same." To help with her income, the Forensic Heroes VI: Redemption star has taken on other side jobs, including influencer work and writing food reviews. Chiu also shared that she has been learning yoga for the past two years and is planning to take up sound bowl therapy this year. "I might turn those hobbies into a side hustle in the future," she added. Chiu made her acting debut in 2013 with the sitcom Come Home Love and has also appeared in popular TVB dramas like Big White Duel, Sinister Beings, and Speakers Of Law.
