Taiwanese Actor Patrick Lee Hits Back At Talk That He Bullied Elvin Ng On Set
The actors worked together on 2018’s Gifted.
In his interview on Mediacorp talk show The Inner Circle earlier this week, Elvin Ng made the shocking revelation that he was constantly bullied by a veteran Taiwanese actor when they were filming a show in KL.
According to Elvin, his cruel co-star’s shenanigans included deliberately trying to make him forget his lines so he could mock him, and rudely putting a chair over Elvin’s bag on the floor.
Elvin finally had enough on the last day of production and yelled at the bully after the latter kept making disrespectful remarks during an emotional scene.
Although the 40-year-old did not name any names, he did mention that the other party played his older brother, and internet sleuths soon got on the case trying to figure out who this horrible person was.
After taking all the little clues into consideration, it was speculated that Elvin could have been talking about Taiwanese actor Patrick Lee aka the guy who was once accused of using steroids ‘cos of his overly buff bod.
The two of them worked together on 2018’s Gifted — and yes, they were brothers in the drama and it was filmed in KL. Adds up, right?
Patrick’s management agency soon caught wind of the rumours and quickly issued a brief statement in response.
Describing the 41-year-old as “polite”, “gentlemanly”, and “very pleasant to work with”, the rep said that it’s “difficult to believe” that such a thing ever happened between Patrick and Elvin.
“The truth will speak for itself. The other staff who were also on set can confirm what really happened. Our side does not wish to cause any more dispute, so we will not be responding further to this matter.”
Elvin’s manager also told local media that he has already said everything he wanted to say on the show and that he will no longer be answering questions about the issue.
