Wu Kangren couldn’t help but feel starstruck after he found himself sitting and talking with the legend himself, Tony Leung Chiu Wai.

The Taiwanese actor, who reunited with his “Abang Adik” co-star Jack Tan in Taiwan for a feast celebrating the success of the movie, said that the two of them as well as director Jin Ong previously went to the Asian Film Awards, after both he and Jack were shortlisted in the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor categories.

Said Wu, as they were sitting and taking in the view, Tony and his actress wife Carina Lau came over to greet them warmly. The actor even praised their performances and expressed curiosity as to how they were able to create chemistry as brothers in the movie. Tony told the two of them that by just watching the movie, he felt that the brothers had a perfect understanding of each other.

“He really is an attentive actor. He watched all the films of the finalists and has great respect for the filmmakers present,” Wu enthused, saying that the couple even invited them to attend the afterparty.

Wu also spoke about the meeting on Facebook last week, writing, “Dreams are like this sometimes… Someone you always like suddenly shows up next to you one day, sits next to you all night, talking to you about movies, talking about performances, and giving you some encouragement…”
