Louis Koo’s fans are calling for the arrest of a perpetrator, who harassed the actor-producer with a laser pointer during a film event.
On 23 March, a netizen shared a video on social media showing the actor getting out of a car only to have a laser pointer shone at his eyes.
The netizen said, “I saw it on the video. Someone was randomly shining a green laser pointer at Louis Koo’s eyes. I don’t know who the culprit is. If I saw it directly, I would be furious with them.”
Others who saw the video also expressed their ire, especially since the actor has previously revealed that he wears sunglasses in public due to his eye problem.
When asked about his eyes at the 49th Hong Kong International Film Festival last year, Louis revealed that he has two retinal perforations in his right eye, as well as floaters, where he often sees black lines floating around. He stated that he doesn’t have time to have surgery yet, thus needed to wear sunglasses to relieve the discomfort.
According to earlier reports, Louis was accidentally injured in the eye by a prop weapon while filming the movie “Dynasty Warriors” in mainland China in October 2017. He returned to Hong Kong overnight for medical treatment, and his right eye required eight stitches.
Due to the tight schedule, he immediately went to New Zealand to continue filming before his eye injury had fully healed.
