Andy Lau Tak Wah Biography
Andy Lau Tak Wah started his career in Hong Kong main TV production company, TVB.
After graduated from TVB acting school, Andy Lau was given chances in some supporting cast before landing his first major role in “Hunting” (1982).
Andy’s breakthrough came later in 1983 where he starred in the ever popular Wuxia drama, “The Return of the Condor Heroes.” Andy Lau instantly becomes an Asian superstar since then.
Andy Lau was also given chances on the big screen, and his first major success in movies came in 1985 with “Unwritten Law,” with another 2 sequels made. From then on Andy has made over 100 movies in his still running acting career.
There are good and bad in those 100+ films; especially when Andy Lau was young, lots of his movies are commercial basis and could be pretty lousy production. Only in recent years that Andy began to be pickier in movies, and the qualities are more guaranteed.
It was also in 1985 that Andy Lau released his first album, but it took him a few years to be recognized as an established singer.
In the 1990s, Andy Lau together with Jackie Cheung, Leon Lai and Aaron Kwok were crowned ‘4 Heavenly Kings of Cantopop’, and dominated the Hong Kong music arena until late 90s.
Andy Lau has won many musical awards in his career, but his luck with movie awards is not as splendid. His first major acting award only came in 2000, as Best Actor in Hong Kong Film Festival with movie “Running Out of Time.”
Andy Lau has always been eager to prove himself as a good actor rather than a popular idol; and after a few years of disappointment, Andy Lau finally won the prestigious Golden Horse Award in 2004 for his performance in “Infernal Affairs 3.″
Andy Lau had previously invested in movies production in early 90s but met with failure; in the past couple of years he started his own production firm again to fund new Asian directors with their movie projects, and has achieved decent success so far.
Why I like Andy Lau Tak Wah
I think Andy Lau is one of the best role models in Asian entertainment world. I don’t think Andy is a talented artist, but he works hard all these years to become a good one.
Andy’s hardworking and professionalism has always been praised by the press, and he is always polite and well mannered in public appearance, while keeping a healthy lifestyle.

Life as it is is good. The truth will prevail. When it does and certain things come to light, what a sad day it will be. For me I will celebrate. Soon boys and girls, soon

ANDY LAU IS NOT MARRIED. HAS NO PRESENT GF. AND ANDOX IS A DOLL!!!

Who said Andy Lau was married. Everyone knows that Andos was modelled after an ox, created by Andy, thus gaining the name Andox. Andox is a doll, any fool can see that, no one needs one to divulge that. I am curious Anon as to why you came here and said about Andy not married or have a gf. You must be in his entourage to know such personal and intimate details of his life. Thaqnks for the info though. Please tell me more. I want to know the Truth. You will be of a great Service to me. Have you ever had Jamaican Rum. I am having some. It is good

what’s there to say? simply stating the obvious– just reading Andy’s recent interviews will state that fact!
when he said– only Andox knows his personal life? THAT SAYS IT ALL! THAT’S NO NUCLEAR PHYSICS TO FIGURE OUT!
he’s not married– he has NO present gf.lol..
HE HAS NO INTENTION GETTING MARRIED ANYTIME SOON,EITHER.

ah anon your cause for celebration is totally premature,I’m afraid you’ll only be getting pickled in rum.

Maybe he does not have a gf, or maybe he does. I don’t know for sure. Indulge me one moment. Could this be his way of introducing his public and his fans to a lady, if there is one?. Andy knows better than anyone else how crazy the fans are and I am sure he does not want anyone to hurt themsef if he had to intrduce a lady love. The fans want him all to themselves.
The fans adore Andox and this might be his way of intrducing his lady to the world, through Andox, who the fans go mush over. I am just throwing out my opinion. No one has to agree. I can understand if they don’t. I did hear one of his celebrity friends say he did have a girlfriend. He has not denied or admitted to having a girlfriend recently. he however stated quite clearly that he is not married. Recewntly he has been talking a lot about getting a group of people to visit Greece because he find it romantic. When asked recently about if he will get mad or shy away from questions of love, he told the interviewer that if he would, he would not be there. At his concert in Hong Kong, I was there by the way, he said he has something to tell the world and his fans , “but, I will tell you all slowly”, those were his exact words.
He does plan to have these comics that will tell about his life, including his personal life. He also plans to do these scenarios through Andox to introduce the world to his private life. We shall see.

ah anon your cause for celebration is totally premature,I’m afraid you’re only getting pickled in rum.
April 26th, 2008 at 7:59 am
you can keep going in circles anon– it all means nothing! you’re putting ‘meaning’ in things that don’t exists.
the hk press cannot find him with a woman? the answer is simple– he doesn’t have one. at least at this present time.Andy’s mutterings is not the utterings of a man ‘in love’.
April 26th, 2008 at 8:16 am
I don’t drink really, I was just trying a little jamaican rum at the insistance of a Jamaican friend. I am not picled on anything. i was just being kind and offering you some. You are most welcomed.
Like I said, that is just my opinion. I could be way off base or I could be right. ONLY Andy can tell me if I am wrong or right.
It does make me wonder why someone who he hangs out with, go bowling with and spends time with would say he has a girlfriend if he doesn’t.
I have nothing to celebrate. if you are referring to the other anon. Not me.
I just read the posts and comment accordingly.
Maybe you should celebrate if you are so sure he does not have a girlfriend. That way, he can focus all his time and energy into his films and music and give us fantastic movies and albums

I don’t understand your line about going in cirles. I was just giving my opinion. I fail to understand why I should be accused of going in cirlcles for giving my views. Please kindly explain
Like I said, no one has to agree with my opins, but I would like the same respect that I will give to each and all
