Since the airing of Hong Kong TVB drama, L’Escargot <缺宅男女>, Oscar Leung (梁烈唯) and Mandy Wong’s (黃智雯) popularity increased, resulting in more money-making opportunities for the onscreen couple. Yesterday, the pair appeared at a men’s weight loss center, in which Oscar spoke about his recent “yo-yo” weight loss experience. Oscar also joked that at his future wedding, he would like to invite Mandy Wong to be one of the bridesmaids. For his birthday earlier, Oscar’s girlfriend, Tina, gave him a set of headphones. Vowing to save money for his future wedding, Oscar also joked that it would be wonderful for his past romantic onscreen partners to be bridesmaids at his wedding. “I wish to be Wai Siu Bo too!” Oscar’s filming experience in Hengdian, China has been uneventful earlier, due to his body’s poor adaptation. Portraying an emperor in The Confidant 大太監 (formerly known as The Great Eunuch), Oscar gained 7 to 8 pounds for the role. His digestive system was disrupted while working in China, leading to an eventual acne breakout. For an upcoming deathbed scene, he will have to quickly lose weight while in Hengdian. Mandy Wong also noted that while filming L’Escargot, she did not intentionally restrict her diet. Oscar joked that Mandy’s waist was quite thick during the filming of the drama, which added to the realistic appearance of Mandy as a young mother. Mandy did not mind to lose or gain weight for a role. In new drama, Mother to Mother <巴不得媽媽>, Mandy will portray a renovation contractor and appear in a tomboy image. She joked that she has been learning remodeling skills, which she can use help friends do light renovation work. Creds; Ming Pao/Jstars
