The only thing Sammo Hung can do during his recent 4-day trip to Singapore

The 72-year-old was in town for the Asian Film Awards Academy’s masterclass series, held at Lasalle College of the Arts on May 4.

“Actually, I really like Singapore’s attitude and lifestyle. I came here to shoot a movie 30 to 40 years ago, but was not used to it then. At that time, I was a little afraid of Singapore because it felt like there were so many laws to control us,” Hung added, referring to our chewing gum ban. The veteran artiste also compared himself to rice, in response to a question about what dish he most resembles.This sentiment rings true, given Hung's status as an icon of Hong Kong cinema. Boasting an illustrious career spanning over 60 years with more than 200 films under his belt, he has seamlessly transitioned between roles as a choreographer, director, producer, actor and more.

“If you really love movies, you must work hard. Don’t waste it. Wasting your time is not fooling anyone, you’re just lying to yourself. It’s like when I go exercise, I tell myself to just do this and that, but I’m exercising for myself, not others, so I’m only lying to myself."
