HONG KONG actor Edison Chen, whose pictures of him having sex with various starlets shook the Chinese entertainment world, has been voted the most “Extreme Bad Man” in the industry.
Sin Chew Daily reported that the 28-year-old actor-cum-singer was picked based on the scandal which broke more than a year ago when the pictures surfaced on the Internet.
Chen, who was recently in Malaysia to open a clothing store, obtained 33% of the votes for the Top 10 worst male celebrity sent in by listeners of a radio station in Singapore.
In second place was Andy Lau, who was chosen for lying about his secret marriage with Malaysian ex-beauty queen Carol Choo.
Malaysian “drunken street-fighter” Gary Chaw was in the fourth place.
Also in the list were singer Vivian Chow’s writer husband Joe Nieh, TVB artistes Adam Cheng Siu-chow, Gallen Lo Kar-Leung, Michael Tao Dai Yu, Michael Tse Tin Wah and Taiwanese veteran composer Jonathan Lee Tsung Sheng.
> The daily also reported that a contractor from Malacca had lodged a police report to deny that he was “the man” in several nude photographs of a couple circulated via handphones since April.
Zheng Dai Bao said the couple in the photographs were actually that of his worker and her ex-boyfriend but many had mistaken him for the man.
“There are more than 10 photographs but only a few are in the nude. The rest are decent pictures of me, taken with the said female worker and I think this has led people to believe that I am the man in the nude pictures,” he said.
Zheng said he believed the worker’s ex-boyfriend had been responsible for distributing the pictures.
