Despite it being his fourth Hong Kong Film Awards’ accolade, Sean Lau dismissed the idea that the feeling is already “stale”.
The actor, who won another Best Actor award for his performance in “Papa”, admitted that he was still nervous during the announcement, as winning an award is a wonderful thing.
“I just reminded myself that I am just lucky. Seeing Jo Koo and Dylan So won their categories already made me feel like my dreams have come true,” he said.
His two co-stars, Jo Koo and Dylan So won Best Supporting Actress and Best New Performer, respectively.
Sean, who defeated Raymond Lam, Neo Yau, Aaron Kwok and fan favourite Michael Hui to win the award, said in his speech that the film taught him many things he didn’t know.
Meanwhile, when asked why wife Amy Kwok was not around, he responded jokingly, “Amy is quite a private person and primarily focuses on behind-the-scenes work. Although she wasn’t here today, her influence is evident in my appearance, as she contributed to my look.”
Sean previously won Best Actor at the HKFA in 2006 for “My Name is Fame”, in 2015 for “Overheard 3” and in 2023 for “Detective vs Sleuths”.
