Anthony Wong recently admitted that he was shocked over news of Namewee’s involvement in the death of Taiwanese influencer, Iris Hsieh.
The actor, who attended the premiere of the new movie, “Deadline”, was asked about the scandal surrounding the Malaysian singer-songwriter, whom he worked with on the music video, “Chinese Reggaeton”.
Saying that his understanding of the matter was similar to what everyone else knows, Anthony expressed, “This is a very unfortunate and very serious matter, so it’s not appropriate to speculate. Besides, the matter is already under investigation.”
He also added that the news reports he reads every day are constantly changing, and some are even contradictory, which he finds “shocking and terrifying.”
When asked if he had contacted Namewee, Anthony said, “He wrote a song before and asked me what I thought of it. I thought he wanted my comments, so I said, ‘You wrote it so badly,’ and then he ignored me.”
He also mentioned that there was one more work-related contact after that, but they haven’t been in touch since.
