After many years away from the screen, Edison Chen confirmed his return to acting at the age of 46. The actor recently appeared in a livestream of a personal fashion brand and revealed that he will go to Malaysia to film a new movie.
Tran Quan Hy said that his long hair and current beard are being prepared for the role. After a long time not returning to the studio, the actor admitted that he is both excited and nervous, and at the same time believes that returning to filming is an important step.
According to Chinese media, the new film project that Tran Quan Hy is participating in is said to be "The Temple of the Horse", directed by Ngo Boi Cat and being filmed in Penang, Malaysia. Huynh Thu Sinh has been announced to participate in the project, while the identity of the remaining male lead was initially kept secret.
Some entertainment sources say this person is Edison Chen, based on information that the actor confirmed that he will go to Malaysia to film. However, the film crew has not officially announced Edison Chen's role.
Tran Quan Hy's return also caused the shocking private photo scandal of 2008 to be recalled. After private photos were illegally spread online, the actor publicly apologized and announced his departure from the Hong Kong (China) entertainment industry.
This decision led to serious impacts on his career. Some commercial contracts of Edison Chen were terminated or withdrawn, while the opportunity to appear in film projects also disappeared.
In the years that followed, Edison Chen still had some artistic activities but could not maintain the filming pace as before. The most recent film that the actor has participated in to date is "Opening the Sky Gate" in 2016, but it did not make an impression.
In recent years, Edison Chen has shifted his focus to fashion and family life.
In 2023, when looking back at the incident, the actor said that many people thought his career had ended since 2008. However, Edison Chen affirmed that he still loved acting and had participated in auditions in Hollywood but had not received a suitable role.
Besides the information about returning to the screen, Tran Quan Hy's current appearance is also noticed. Some opinions online suggest that the male actor has changed a lot compared to his youth, even compared to Huynh Hieu Minh. When commented that he is no longer as handsome as before, Tran Quan Hy replied: "Handsomeness is an attitude, not appearance".
