Did You Know?

Personal Quote:

[on his Mandarin pronunciation in Wo hu cang long (2000)] It's awful. The first day I had to do 28 takes simply because of the language problem. That's never happened before in my life. It put me under a lot of pressure. There was a lot of dialogue in this film, more than I've ever had to speak before. It was like speaking Shakespeare. See more »

Trivia:

After a first unsuccessful marriage with a fellow Hong Kong star actress, he fell in love and re-married the daughter of one of the richest Chinese dynastic scions from Singapore. See more »

Trademark:

Chow often is seen with a trademark toothpick in his mouth, particularly in his films with John Woo. See more »

Nickname:

Faat "Gor" See more »

Star Sign:

Taurus
