The cast of Ruse of Engagement <叛逃> promoted their series with an outdoor war game on March 26. Ruco Chan (陳展鵬) commented on his gravity-defying roof jump, saying that the scene did not look exaggerated at all during the shoot, and jokingly called netizens’ online parodies creative. Recently accused of plastic surgery, Ruco also dismissed the baseless accusation on today, and assured that his handsome features are completely natural. Ruco, Ron Ng (吳卓羲), and William Chak (翟威廉) were dressed in protective gear at the promotional event. The three were charged with moving through war game obstacles while carrying their female co-stars on their backs. Despite all the on-screen training he received, Ruco lost the game and was punished with a round of airsoft gun shots from all the winners. Gaining fame quickly in recent years, Ruco is now facing a slew of gossips which he describes as becoming increasingly negative. Aside from his alleged playboy behavior with female co-stars and jealousy issues with Edwin Siu (蕭正楠), Ruco is now also a victim of plastic surgery accusations. A local tabloid magazine published a report this week claiming that Ruco had become obsessed with his looks. The 37-year-old allegedly received excessive cosmetic injections that caused his face to look extremely bloated at an earlier promotional event for his police drama. Ruco defended himself, attributing his more-rounded look to a recent illness. “I have been sick ever since I completed filming All That is Bitter is Sweet <大藥坊>. My face was very bloated from water retention that day. I have just fully recovered.” Although he is confident in showing off his natural face, Ruco does not immediately deny the possibility of receiving plastic surgery in the future. “We’ll discuss future matters when the time comes, maybe we’ll be able to recover our youthful looks by just taking a pill. Plastic surgery is very risky.” Creds: ihktv
