Aaron Kwok kicked off his solo world music tour in Toronto recently. DaDump isn’t criticizing his wardrobe since I still have a soft spot for acid wash jeans and Hush Puppies but isn’t it about time Aaron get a new fashion consultant to help with his on stage look?

It’s Not Easy Being Beautiful… Aaron Kwok and Xu Jinglei Earn Well Deserved Awards

April 12th, 2007 by dd

Hong Kong actor Aaron Kwok and Chinese mainland actress Xu Jinglei were awarded Most Attractive Actor and Actress by Hong Kong’s Society of Cinematographers.

For mainland actress and director Xu Jinglei, it was also her first award she received in Hong Kong despite many other awards she had received as an actress on the Chinese mainland.

Xu tried not to look disappointed then realized that this was Hong Kong where talent wasn’t a requirement for success in the film industry.

Meanwhile Aaron gazed longingly at his reflection from the shiny award trying to understand why it took so long to get recognized for something he had known for years….

Respect my acting talents, dammit!

Aaron Kwok’s ‘After This Our Exile’ Hosts Special Screening

November 15th, 2006 by dd

Afterourexile 2

The Chinese film “After This Our Exile,” starring Charlie Yeung and Aaron Kwok, held a special screening for media in Hong Kong on Tuesday.  

Director Patrick Tam gave high credit for lead actor Aaron Kwok, saying it is Aaron Kwok’s best-ever movie performance.  

This Hong Kong film star showcased his talents by playing a father and gambling addict for the first time.   

He collaborated with Charlie Yeung to play an on-again, off-again couple with a son. The plot focuses on the awkward and sophisticated relationship between father and son after the mother abandons the family.   

The actor was crowned best actor at last year’s Golden Horse Awards for the movie “Divergence.”   

His new film has three different versions for Hong Kong, Malaysia and the Chinese mainland. All are about 120 minutes long.

Since there are no film ratings in China, some erotic scenes in this movie were cut for screening here.   

This family drama will hit screens across China on November 30. [Cri]
