Ruco Chan (陳展鵬) spent his 38th birthday shooting for TVB’s period drama Captain of Destiny <張保仔>, a time-traveling action series revolving around the adventures of Cantonese pirate Chiang Po Tsai. Ruco’s co-stars staged a small surprise for him, presenting him with a unique birthday cake and a large birthday card. Ruco went straight to work on the morning of January 14, his 38th birthday, to shoot the drama. In order to give Ruco a surprise, the cast of Captain of Destiny pretended to have forgotten about his birthday. That afternoon, Ruco uploaded a selfie of himself eating lunch alone on Weibo, writing, “Has everyone eaten yet? Don’t mind if I do!” Ruco also typed out the date, hinting his fans of the special day. Believing that everyone had forgotten about his special day, the cast suddenly surprised him after completing a scene together and presented him with a cake. They also gave him a large birthday card, which contained all the signatures and messages from the drama’s cast and crew. Ruco immediately took a group photo with the cast and shared it online. He wrote, “I’m so touched! They also gave me a birthday card!” Captain of Destiny, one of TVB’s most-expensive dramas in recent years, will complete filming by February 2015. Creds: oncc
