Kenneth Ma Buys Bags to Cajole His Wife and Becomes a 'Wife-Doting Maniac: "I Am Not the Enemy of Males"
Kenneth Ma, Samantha Ko, Tiffany Lau, Rosita Kwok, Brian Chu, Yumi Chung, et al. gathered at the airport today to attend a promotional event for the TVB series "The Airport Diary II". "Midlife, Sing & Shine!" singer Vic Teo sang the series' theme song, "I Found My Way", live.
Kenneth laughingly said that he originally only knew that he had been promoted in this installment, but only found out today that he had levelled up three ranks. He, who does not have any new series to film, was asked if he is focusing on singing to make a living. He said, "I am just following Edwin Siu and Raymond Choi in cheating for a meal, but it is indeed more comfortable than filming series".
He expressed that his wife, Roxanne Tong, did not accompany him in the travel: "It's not that it's inconvenient for her, but flying too far is very strenuous; she does not want to fly". In "Lose the Battle, Win the War", Kenneth, who shared the insightful comment that "it is very normal for a husband to occasionally gift a bag to his wife", has been dubbed a 'wife-doting maniac'. He said, "It is very normal. Happy wife, happy life. My wife doesn't have to buy every single bag...only buys what she likes. Actually know a lot of men who are also like that; Moses Chan, Shaun Tam, and Ruco Chan are also like that. I am the lowest-paid one. It also proves that TVB's male artistes are of high calibre. Believe that I am not the enemy of males".
Kenneth Ma Would Inform His Wife Before Shooting Intimate Scenes
Kenneth expressed that he is not afraid of shooting intimate scenes, but would consider whether the scene is necessary. As a male, he would also not be afraid: "Guys need to clearly communicate with their female partners about how it'll be done. It's better if everyone has talked about it clearly. If something is done without prior notice, the girl might feel uncomfortable; thus, it needs to be communicated clearly beforehand". He even laughingly said that actors face more pressure when shooting intimate scenes; it is best to communicate clearly to avoid misunderstandings. Asked if he would refuse to shoot intimate scenes after marriage, Kenneth expressed that he would inform his wife, Roxanne, beforehand, even laughingly saying, "I always say that it only does not have be informed about Samantha beforehand because she and my wife are such good friends. For others, it also has to be informed. She usually just hears it and that's it. Everyone also knows that the TV station's boundaries would not be too exaggerated".
Kenneth Ma Says That He Had Never Been Bullied by Kiki Sheung
In addition, when talking about the matter of Kiki Sheung being implicated in bullying Shirley Yeung, Kenneth said that he had worked with Kiki and Shirley on separate occasions, but could not say too much because he was not present: "There was also nothing special with everyone. There was nothing special in front of me when everyone was filming". He also said that there were no issues when working with Kiki. Samantha, who was next to him, also expressed that she had never been bullied. Kenneth praised Samantha for being too nice, jokingly expressing that she may have been bullied without even realizing it. Samantha revealed, "All the partners I've encountered have also been great. (What about when [you] first debuted?) Was very new when [I] first debuted. I would not know what to do, and I would take the initiative to ask the director and partners if I was doing it correctly. Often, when I took the initiative to ask them, they would be very willing give me a lot of suggestions. There was more of this kind of communication".
