Summary
Hong Kong actress Sisley Choi (蔡思貝) said on Saturday that photos taken after an earlier event in Tai Wai were done with safety in mind, after a magazine report showed her assistant stepping onto a road to capture better images. She said she had borrowed clothes for the appearance and wanted to take more good photos, while stressing the shoot was conducted safely. Choi also addressed online comments about her interaction with David Beckham in Macau, and said she is open to more daring performances if a role and storyline call for them. She added that the charity run marked her first time running since an injury, with a full marathon next year now her ultimate goal.
Key Points
- Choi attended a charity run on Saturday, competed in the women’s 10-kilometre race, and fired the starting gun for the men’s event.
- SingTao cited an East Week report saying that after an earlier event in Tai Wai, Choi and an assistant went to Tai Wai Village, dubbed “Hong Kong’s Little Kyoto”, for photos.
- The report said the assistant climbed up and down for angles and at one point stood on a road with passing traffic; Choi said the pictures were taken under safe conditions.
- Choi said she had earlier gone to Macau for a basketball game, met David Beckham there, and filmed a promotional clip for the movie Kung Fu Female Soccer.
- She said Beckham was friendly and unexpectedly helped mention overseas release details for the film, though she admitted she got the release date wrong at the time.
Why It Matters
The episode shows how celebrity image-making can quickly trigger public debate over safety, especially when social media and entertainment weeklies amplify behind-the-scenes moments. Choi’s comments also place attention on how Hong Kong performers balance publicity, physical recovery, and changing expectations around on-screen boldness.
