HIS passion for acting is so strong that veteran Hong Kong actor Patrick Tse (pic) declared he would not stop working until the day he dies, Sin Chew Daily reported.
“Unless I die, I will continue filming, ” Tse, 84, told reporters at the 45th Hong Kong International Film Festival where his latest movie Time premiered recently.
Film producer Gordon Lam praised Tse for his energy and work ethic despite his age.
Lam pointed out that Tse had put up with days of 18-hour filming without complaining.
“He can still handle both speaking and action roles.
“It’s just that he would ask for egg tarts, beef noodles and Coca-Cola, ” he quipped, adding that Tse was a pleasant actor to work with.
