The Young Reporter In This Old Behind-The-Scenes Clip With Joey Wong Went On To Become A Superstar Himself

Here’s another interesting #throwback featuring former Taiwanese screen goddess Joey Wong, 54, and this time, it features another celeb in a rather unexpected place.

Recently, netizens uncovered an old behind-the-scenes clip of 1994 wuxia classic Ashes of Time, which stars — wait for it — Leslie Cheung, Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Tony Leung Ka-fai, Lin Ching Hsia, Carina Lau, Charlie Young, Jacky Cheung, Maggie Cheung, and Joey (although most of her scenes ended up getting cut from the film).

Needless to say, the Wong Kar Wai-directed picture caused a sensation when its superstar-studded cast was announced, and a number of media outlets were invited to a set visit.

In one part of the video, which was originally released by a South Korean broadcaster in 1992, Joey is shown in costume while standing next to a young and rather nervous-looking male reporter holding a microphone (see below).

That reporter was none other than Hongkong singer-actor Leo Ku, who was in his early 20s at that time and was working as the host of an entertainment news show.

Leo, now 48, later went on to recall his experience from that day, admitting that he was “freaking out” in the presence of so many massive A-listers (we don’t blame him one bit).

“My two-year hosting career was very valuable for an ignorant rookie like me at that time,” he said.

The young Leo’s ‘cameo’ stole the spotlight when the clip was unearthed, with many netizens gushing over how “cute” and “handsome” he was.

One even remarked that he was the “highlight” of the video, which says a lot considering all the other showbiz legends in it.
