CHRISTOPHER LEE got “grossed out” playing his wife FANN WONG’s onscreen lover in the past. But are things going to be any diffrent now that he’s romancing her again in a new Ch 8 drama?
It’s been 14 years since Christopher Lee and Fann Wong have acted together in a local drama. But the wait will finally be over for fans who have been dying to see the couple together again on local TV. Fann and Chris star opposite each other in new Ch 8 drama Doppelganger, which airs next March. Christopher plays a serial cheater who is married to Fann’s character. In the drama, Chris romances Rebecca Lim and Taiwanese modelactress Kelly Liao. “I don’t have to ask Fann for permission when I have intimate or kissing scenes with other actresses ’cos she trusts me," says Chris, 46. Fann, also 46, tells us in a separate interview: “I’m very Zen. Whenever he informs me that his role requires such scenes, I have no reaction at all (laughs). I just look at him calmly and tell him: ‘Go ahead and do it’”. She adds: “Instead, he’s the one who’s always complaining that I don’t seem to mind or get jealous at all!”
8 DAYS: The last time you two acted in a Ch 8 drama together was 14 years ago on Always On My Mind.
