Late last year, the 'Theresa Fu Gets Beat by Boyfriend' scandal broke out and the 'boyfriend' Him Law was known as the 'man of violence' since then. Initially, Him gained popularity for possessing a 40-inch chest and his future should run smoothly, but unfortunately the tides changed at the peak when the scandal broke out. He almost lost everything.
Several months after the scandal, 27 year old Him Law appeared in a chain of series including the previous L'Escargot, the current The Hippocratic Crush and Tiger Cubs, which will air later this year. Not only was Him entangled in a complex scandal, but his rumored girlfriend switched from the young to the older Tavia Yeung.
FACE: If the media were to ask questions in regards to Theresa Fu, will you still answer them?
HIM: I won't talk about it anymore. I'm sorry, but I already explained everything that I had to explain. Also, if we keep mentioning it, it does us both no good and is not fair to anybody. What's important is that I am happy with my development and she is happy with hers. We will both add oil.
FACE: Has the scandal last year changed you?
HIM: Each industry has their own difficulties. Eat too much salty fish, deserved to be thirsty. I won't give an special explanation because what needs to happen will eventually happen. It is impossible that I won't be unhappy. Then I want to ask, what can I do? I will just continue to do my thing. Fortunately, at this moment I still have a lot of jobs coming in. I learned to cherish the things I have. (At the time, were you afraid that would be the end of your career?) I knew it was a crisis, but maybe I'm just really lucky, I had some friends...with their help, I was able to get through it. (How did they help you?) Encouragement. In fact, I think substance is difficult to say, the people I know aren't any bosses or anything. When you are feeling cheerful and calm, then it's like a smooth path. But when you are always worried, whatever happens won't be good. In the future, whatever happens, I will have a few ways to handle it, and think more comprehensively. I will no longer be simple minded as I used to be. Also, I'm not as active as I was before, I feel heavier.
FACE: Do you feel only one side of the public supports you?
HIM: I always believe that the palm of just one hand cannot make the sound of the an applause. The past is the past, I won't go talk about it in detail anymore. I'm not a piece of blank paper anymore, I already have a record and this record will follow me for life. Perhaps until I retire, get the 'Best Actor Award', the newspapers will still bring up my record, but I have gotten over that. Each individual has their own history, but I'm a public figure, so my file will also be public.
FACE: But people think of you and Amigo Chui as the representative of 'violent boyfriends'?
HIM: I can't change the past, even if people think of me that way, what can I do? Good news or bad news, I can only accept it.
FACE: Do you feel you are really lucky, can take a big leap over the tough times?
HIM: I won't go think about the tough times from the past because I really don't want to waste time. Perhaps a few years later, when I think back, I would feel why am I still thinking? Honestly, I experienced a lot in the last two years. I'm still sitting here chatting with you. So, why not just cherish it all and pave the future road!
FACE: Any news about yourself that struck you the most?
HIM: The most memorable report was the story that I had a lot of girlfriends (1 foot on 13 boats), that moment I was really angered that I became expressionless. My eyes popped out, but it's just anyone who I collaborated with, their name was on the list. I would think to myself, will anyone believe this? What does this have to do with me? Perhaps, 2 years later, when I do another interview with you, you will talk to me about this as a joke, but right now I'm not at this level yet.
FACE: The most recent headlines are about you and Tavia Yeung...I'm not done asking, why are you laughing already? Because you have a sweet feeling?
HIM: Actually we are just friends. It's just that we don't do any avoiding. (The day of the interview was Valentine's Day, what plans do you have?) After the interview, I'm going home and having dinner with family.
FACE: Interacting with the media nowadays, must always hold back and protect yourself? Will you speak frankly about your relationships?
HIM: I will leave space for my personal relationships. (Don't wanna be like Moses Chan and Aimee Chan, showing off their happiness?) If in the future I do have a partner, I may not be like them. First, a lot of it is about the right match. It's not necessarily about if I want it, then it will happen. (Your company opposes?) No, I may want to, but she may not want to. (If your other half is willing to make the relationship public?) We can make it work, I don't mind! Both sides should coordinate and decide for the best. If it works out, we will both share the happiness, but if it doesn't work out then we will suffer together. (Does your company prohibit you from dating to protect you?) Never, I am an adult that can distinguish between good and bad."
FACE: Then what about you and Tavia Yeung, any chance to develop further?
HIM: We did meet up for dinner, but everyone exaggerated the whole thing. It was just that we had a lot of scenes together and got along well. Later we went out for dinner with a group of friends. As for it there are chances to develop, really leave it to fate. (How are you and her getting along well?) No explanation, it's just like me and you getting along well. It's the fate of human relationships. (Do you accept 'sister-brother' love?) Feelings do not discriminate age, I personally won't oppose to it. As long as we can communicate, then it's ok. (But there's a gap between you and Tavia's careers? People will gossip, wouldn't that be hard to bear?) If there is true love, then that is not a problem. However, I can't say I won't think about it. (The woman is above the man though?) Hey, what is this above and below? In the end, it's all just air!
FACE: Why do you always say leave it to fate? Do you believe life is depended on fate? Or is it for some questions you're only brave enough to say leave it to fate?
HIM: Because there are a lot of things that we can say, but it may not happen. Just like work, I want to do something, but I wasn't able to do it. Success is on the person, but the plans is on the heaven. ....I've always believed in this proverb: "It takes a hundred rebirths to bring two persons to ride on the same boat; it takes a thousand eons to bring two persons to share the same pillow" (百世修来同船渡，千载修得共枕眠). Today we may be sitting here chatting, but perhaps in our past lives we owed each other money, so now have to repay it. (Does this include the ill-fated?) Can't. Cannot use these words."
No Longer Stubborn
FACE: After the scandal, was your family worried about you?
HIM: I know they are worried, but they won't directly talk about the incident, just would ask: "Are you coming home for dinner tonight? There's your favorite [whatever] food!" Sometimes we would go walk the dog and go for a scroll. In fact, I know their purpose, I feel it. That's how I feel guilty inside, and then feel sad, but I can't let them know I'm unhappy. Actually I'm a big boy now, I bear a lot of hope and I'm also a man, I feel that I have the responsibility to take care everyone. So, when I'm out working, I put my heart into it. When I'm unhappy, I would go for a swim or go look at fishes, makes me feel better. I have realized something after going diving, that the world is so big. I'm not considered anything, and when I think this way, I won't be so stubborn about it anymore. Why not think more about how I can do better. I am a son, a nephew, a grandson and in the future I maybe someone's husband and father.
FACE: Currently you are appearing on TVB series after series, and have hope to reach up top, your family can relax!
HIM: At this moment, I am happy because my family is proud of me, but yet I am unhappy because my family was worried about me. Even today they still believe that being an artist isn't a practical profession. Now that they see me more on TV and getting more jobs, they feel relieved. It would be best that they see you on TV every month, and prove that you are busy!
In fact, I am closest to my father. I understood long ago when I was young that even though my parents separated, they are still my mother and father. That won't change. So, my view on family is still complete. My father's view on family really influenced me, he's a very responsible. Although he didn't marry or have any more children, he still takes care of my brother's family.
