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.

film buff, you really ought to go back and really read all that you have written. You do. They are not the post of a sane woman. They are not the comments of a woman who has sophistication and maturity. They are not the words of a truthful woman. They are the words of a woman who is angry and defensive and who lacks confidence and self assurance. You lie because it makes you feel good about yourself, you have so much anger that it causes you to be vindictive as you have done some stuff to some of the forum members and others outside of the forum world. Yes we know all about THAT.Get help. Before it is too late get help. I am ready for your sarcastic, angry and accusatory respond, because that is all you know.

You will respond in your defensive way of accusing, and making yourself look so important in the film world. You will even get angry and go on the attack and be sarcastic because that is all you know. It is alright though, we at the forums are used to it. You do need to stop deluding yourself that one person thinks you are sick and writes about you. Wrong, you are l known but not in a good light

September 24th, 2009 at 4:29 pm
yeah.. I did believe Andy in his denials & lies.,. I just never imagined anyone can lie & ignore in such a manner– nor that any woman worth her salt will take & accept that..
obviously– both are wonky. I never imagined Andy Lau to be so thoughtless,insensitive.. selfish! because– he is. enough of his crock over the triads & that datuk.. so what.. Jet & CYF are bigger stars than him..
and his great excuse– he’s protecting her..
still cannot get over– Andy will wait till Choo is way into her 40’s to marry her to supposedly try for a kid?? with vitro.. or fertility drugs help.. no less..geez! at least– consider the health of the woman & the baby.. .. & have it when she was still in her 30’s.. and have some great bonks conceiving it.
On the other hand.. if they do have kids & they are hiding them.. for what?? FOR HIS FAME?! & not considering the kids welfare? even worse..
then.. Choo waits 24 yrs.. having bastards before he marries her in some $50 cheapie in VEGAS? that’s her rerward putting up with his rubbish?
ha.. what a cheap saga.. Andy lives to be an idol.. a dream.. he will not be good for real.
September 24th, 2009 at 4:36 pm
I have news for Andy– nothing wrong with the fans.. but something wrong with you.
with all those wretched lies.. it even proved no respect for them. and NO respect for women..
bah.. Andy cannot take an intelligent woman.. he likes her totally submissive.. I still saw him in those vids with different girls.. you see film clips don’t change.. so he & choo must have had some on-off relationship.. & she’s the only one who will put up with his being the woman in the dungeon crap..
whatever.. all s o dumb! doesn’t say much for them,either.

I’m quite enjoying this sparring between iceberg and film buff. Then again, I am a bit of a twisted, sick puppy.
Carry on with the feud.
As for Andy Lau and his secrecy, I’ve always thought it was stupid celebrities were so full of themselves to put on a full-on ruse and facade to deny their the partners in their lives. It doesn’t mean they need to talk about their love lives but to deny and cover up as if they were double agents is over the top. They really must think the world revolves around them and it would stop if they were genuine to themselves.
And any fan that would be crushed or depressed over any of her idols actually having a wife or even girlfriend needs a good swift kick in the head.
September 25th, 2009 at 1:25 am
oh anon.. glad you’re enjoying it!!
you know iceberg & all her monikers.. ay!! well.. I too find it funny.. as just she refuses to believe what i said about some film s ets.. DOESN’T MEAN IT DIDN’T HAPPEN.. IT DID.. I experienced it.. I was there.. NOTHING CAN CHANGE THAT.. unlike Andy Lau I don’t lie! i CAN BACK UP ANYTHING i SAID HERE.
as for Andy Lau.. ay! such a cheap skate! supposedly they were staying at t he presidential suite when he proposed.. yeah.. I bet it was at t he MGM GRAND.. where he performs.. he got it ‘gratis’ or with a huge discount.. ha.. ha.. I HATED THAT HOTEL..
I find it hilarious! iceberg etc wouyd assume I’ll be suicidal over Choo.. whoa.. when I have never even dated any Asian man.. FUNNY!
AS FOR aNDY lAU.. HE’S ONLY AN IMAGE.. HE ASSUMES A PERSONA OBVIOUSLY WITH HIS PUBLIC.. that he’s this perfection.. BUT THE REALITY OF HIM IS A DIFFERENT STORY.. HE proves that with choo.. choo.. NO MAN WILL EVER TREAT HIS WOMAN THE WAY HE DOES IF HE’S DECENT.. I tell you.. NEVER! no matter what .. NOT for that length of time.
as for choo choo.. obviously, she’s better glimpsed at– than actually seen & heard.. or else.. the image will break into smithereens..
DOESN’T SAY MUCH OF EITHER ONE OF THEM,DOES IT??!
AS FOR ME?? hey, I’m up for some parts.. so… anything can happen.. nothing can change that.
September 25th, 2009 at 1:30 am
ah.. anon.. good you’re enjoying it!
actually, I really do find it funny,too.. nothing iceberg etc writes is any skin off my nose.. find it so hilarious!
September 25th, 2009 at 1:36 am
besides, who gives a sh*t who Andy was/is dating.. he’s the only one w ho made such a big deal about it with all his lying.. LIKE HE’S SOME PRIZE.. he’s NOT.. AS HE’S PROVING TO BE..
andy has proven to be just an image– a persona.. nothing much there except his huge ego.. SO LET CHOO CHOO.. get on with it..
I even find it so amusing.. supposedly they were staying at a presidential suite when he proposed in vegas.. wow.. bet it was at t he MGM GRAND.. as he performed there.. probably gratis.. or with a huge discount!
as for Leon Lai & his gal.. well.. that’s normal.. even romantic.. as they were only dating seriously a few yrs? then fine.. elope..
but Andy?? yikes! so declasse’.. and he’d still be lying if he didn’t pushed the envelope & the lame media finally caught up with them..
September 25th, 2009 at 6:02 am
another that’s so funny are those posters like iceberg & ilk.. assuming one wants to ‘marry andy’?? & jealous of choo.. choo..
when I Haven’t even dated an Asian man.. don’t want to either..
fact is.. HE IS A LIAR.. having no integrity.. he really doesn’t..
I actually pity choo.. choo.. geez! I know actors– and actors with egos like Andy are nothing but a ROYAL PAIN.. they show their best sides to the public!

Point proven. I need say no more. Like Lindsay says, it thrives on attention, good or bad. It can’t help the hellhole miserable life it has. Hey it created another anon to agree with itself.

If it is enjoying being insulted, it is more gone than anyone can imagine

The woman of ass hold it I mean class is ready to get defensive and respond right film buff, make our day. Hey, bought any house lately. Have you dragged your old ass out of bed to do a modeling shoot.
September 25th, 2009 at 6:54 am
Film buff can’t drag her old butt out of bed, she is already awake acting in a major role remember guys. Hey tell us more about your life, you are the human enquirer, full of horse feces inside out. Full of lies and knows all yet knows nothing. So tell us, we want to know, laughs

Whoo, after hearing the scandal with David Letterman and his perversion for young interns, I have more respect for Andy Lau and his commitment to his long-term girlfriend and now wife. At least that was the only thing he had to keep under wraps and not all the young groupies he has bedded.
Andy should hang out with Letterman if only to say, “Hey, I’m not even in the same league with Letterman!!”
October 9th, 2009 at 7:19 am
Andy is much better man than Letterman. No need for Andy to hang out with Letterman.
