Hong Kong movie star Tony Leung marries Carina Lau in Bhutan
HONG KONG (AP) - Cannes best actor winner Tony Leung Chiu-wai and longtime companion Carina Lau got married at a resort in the Himalayan nation Bhutan, Hong Kong media reported Tuesday.
Hong Kong art-house director Wong Kar-wai's Jet Tone Films confirmed the location of the wedding and released several photos from Monday's ceremony, but didn't immediately provide more detail.
Hong Kong's Apple Daily newspaper reported Tuesday that a local monk presided over the wedding and other monks chanted prayers.
The South China Morning Post said Leung donned a white suit and Lau a traditional Chinese red gown.
The Apple Daily said guests included Wong, who directed Leung in movies like "In the Mood for Love'' and "Happy Together,'' director Stanley Kwan, actress Brigitte Lin, singer Faye Wong and actors Chang Chen and Ti Lung.
Wedding photos released Tuesday by Jet Tone showed Leung in a black tuxedo and Lau in a white wedding gown, posing next to a group of several dozen young monks in red robes. The couple also posed in traditional Bhutanese costumes.
Leung's credits also include "Infernal Affairs,'' which Martin Scorsese remade as "The Departed,'' and John Woo's recently released Chinese historical epic "Red Cliff.'' He was named best actor at the Cannes Film Festival in 2000 for his performance in "In the Mood for Love.''
Lau, an actress, appeared in "Infernal Affairs II,'' "Center Stage'' and director Wong's "Ashes of Time'' and "2046.'' - AP
