Although Janice Man (文詠珊) and Nicholas Tse (謝霆鋒) never had chances to collaborate in the past, the romantic rumors heated gossip columns. According to recent tabloids, Janice started romantic rumors with Nicholas so she can boost her own publicity. But in the end, Nicholas only addressed Janice as a “good friend”, forcing her to admit to her single status. Signed under Leon Lai’s (黎明) A Music for four years as a model and actress, Janice did not have many opportunities to shine. She filmed few dramas and only appeared as cameos. In hopes to advance her career and earn more money, Janice reportedly aimed to get herself close to Nicholas, since he has the fame she needs to be recognized. Furthermore, Janice once publicly claimed she likes men with mustaches who are ten years older, hinting that Nicholas was her ideal man. Since Janice did not know Nicholas personally, she asked their mutual friends to introduce her to him. The group had two dinners together, one of which was a birthday party for Nicholas’ business companion. That night, Janice reportedly attempted to flirt with Nicholas and took the initiative to ask for his number. According to tabloids, Janice quickly revealed to the press that she has a secret crush on Nicholas right after the dinner. Janice’s reported claim aroused much suspicion. An insider working in the modeling industry hinted that Janice had leaked rumors of her relationship with Nicholas. “When we asked when the relationship started, she couldn’t answer!” the insider said. After learning of Janice’s reported motives, her mutual friends who introduced her to Nicholas were enraged. A source exclaimed, “Everyone knows Nicholas likes women who are older than him! Why would he like a young woman? Using him for publicity like this is ridiculous!” Janice refused to respond when questioned about the reports. Creds: Oriental Daily
