Photo: Katy Kung/Instagram Popular Hong Kong actress Katy Kung has broken her silence on the rumours claiming she has been frequenting a racecourse in search of a wealthy partner. The speculation surfaced after several netizens noted her repeated appearances at the venue, with some even suggesting that she might be facing a slowdown in her acting career and is currently 'hunting for a rich husband'. Despite winning Best Actress at the TVB Anniversary Awards last year, Kung, 35, is rumoured to have received no new job offers in the past eight months and only has one remaining drama left to air with TVB. In an interview with Hong Kong news outlet HK01, Kung firmly dismissed the accusations, emphasising that her recent visit to the racecourse was simply to support a close friend. When asked if her friend had tried to introduce her to any potential suitors, the Big Biz Duel (2024) star brushed off the idea, adding that she's in no rush to find love. 'We rarely talk about such things,' she said. Kung also rubbished rumours that she's out of work, making it clear that she continues to receive numerous offers. She added that many brands have approached her since her Best Actress win, and she's currently enjoying some downtime before committing to new projects.

Moses Chan praised for being humble after seen queuing alone outside busy eatery
TVB actor Moses Chan is earning praise for choosing to queue like everyone else instead of using his star status to make a reservation. Photos: Moses Chan/Instagram, Xiaohongshu Hong Kong actor Moses Chan may be TVB's highest-paid artiste, reportedly earning HK$30mil (RM16.2mil) annually, but he continues to impress fans with his humility. The 54-year-old is currently winning praise online after a netizen spotted him queuing on his own outside a bustling restaurant in Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong. In a photo shared on Xiaohongshu (Red Note), Chan is seen in a simple yet polished outfit – a beige short-sleeve shirt and matching shorts, paired with socks and sandals. 'He always knows how to dress well. He's the best-dressed TVB male artiste,' the caption read. Netizens were quick to applaud Chan for choosing to queue on his own like everyone else instead of using his celebrity status to make a reservation. Others also pointed out that even in casual wear and a face mask, the actor still stood out among the crowd. 'He chose to queue instead of making a reservation,' said one fan. Another commented: 'Celebrities and ordinary people are just humans at the end of the day.' 'He really gets more attractive and trendy with age,' added a third. Since joining the entertainment industry in 1994, Chan has amassed multiple accolades – including two Best Actor titles at the TVB Anniversary Awards for his roles in Heart Of Greed (200&) and Narcotics Heroes (2023). He's married to Hong Kong-based Canadian actress Aimee Chan, with whom he shares three children – Aiden, 11, Nathan, 10, and Camilla, nine.

Back then, he would purposely leave his wallet on the table at home, hoping his parents would notice and slip some money into it. This was reportedly during the early days of his career, after his five-year contract with Stephen Chow's production company Star Overseas Ltd ended. On living off his parents at that time, Lam said: 'I was so ashamed.' Since joining TVB in 2005, Lam has appeared in multiple dramas such as The Mysteries Of Love (2010), Ghetto Justice (2011) and more. His perseverance paid off in 2023 when he clinched the Best Supporting Actor laurel at the TVB Anniversary Awards for his role in The Invisibles (2023).
