It’s been 17 years since Hong Kong screen goddess Maggie Cheung retired from showbiz, but public interest in the 59-year-old has not waned. Recently, fans unearthed a video of Maggie on Asia Television’s (ATV)’s Celebrity Talk Show in 1989 where she shared her experience filming kissing scenes. Though Maggie had only been in showbiz for five years at that time, she had locked lips with many A-list actors like Andy Lau, Leslie Cheung, Chow Yun Fat, and Alan Tam... but there was one person who didn’t stop kissing even after the director yelled ‘cut’. Probed for a name....Maggie hesitated for a moment before saying with a laugh, "It was Chow Yun Fat! He pretended he couldn’t hear [the director],” she joked. “I couldn’t push him away no matter how hard I tried. I think he was too engrossed in the scene,” she added.
And this is one of the films that she was in that has always been my favourite..."In the Mood for Love"......unforgettable Maggie Cheung!
