Hong Kong actor Tin Kai Man recently won his first ever best supporting actor award at the 28th Taipei Film Awards.

The actor bested contenders that included his own co-star Tuo Tsung-hua to win for his performance in “Double Happiness,” marking his first win in his 47-year career.

Tin, most known to fans through his performance as the third Shaolin brother in “Shaolin Soccer,” said that he has met many people who have helped him throughout his career and many of whom he should thank, but then jokingly said, “To live a long life, you can’t be without your wife, so I want to thank her.”

He also thanked actress Yang Kuei-mei, whom he called his “benefactor,” as well as the judges and his parents, jokingly adding that his parents opposed his entering the entertainment industry.

“This isn’t a bad example!” he added, bringing much laughter to the audience.
