Patrick Tse’s “Crooked Smile” Causes a Stir—It Actually Is a Dentist’s Work!
Picture this: the venerable 85‑year‑old actor Patrick Tse, a true pillar of Hong Kong’s cinematic scene, strolling onto the stage at the HKFA. He winks, draws a smile—only it’s a bit off‑center, a subtle slant that could’ve sparked a freak out about a stroke. But nope, this isn’t a health scare—it’s a dental drama!
Old‑School Charisma Meets Modern‑Day Tooth Trouble
- Patrick just bagged the Best Actor trophy for his role in the black comedy Time—a first for his age group.
- During the acceptance, his left cheek hung a tad lower than the right, a tell‑tale cue that air‑contributed folks worried a stroke may have hit him.
- He emerged from behind the mask for the speech, and the world saw the “crooked smile” in full, causing a wave of heart‑softening concern.
Gordon Lam Steps In as the “Human Walking Aide”
Enter the ever‑supportive actor Gordon Lam—he’s not just a sidekick; he’s a moral anchor. Gordon made a point to reassure everyone on the talk show that the smile was nothing to fear.
“Some big dental work did the trick,” he said with a shrug. “He took out a bunch of teeth, the same day, and that’s a normal thing for someone his age.”
He went on to share a piece of the inner workings, so you can get a clearer picture: Gordon informed that Patrick’s personal doctor had been jittery about him pulling off the mask—a mask‑less moment in front of a crowd of lenses, you know the drill. It turned out that Patrick had been on the edge of whether to attend the awards at all, but the presence of Gordon was a steadying force that made him say “yes.”
What It Means for Foundations of Daily Life
The actor compared this to his own wisdom‑teeth removal: “How could I think about gum swelling on the same day?” he sighed. So you got a clear up of why Patrick’s cheeks weren’t behaving as they usually do.
Bowie Wu, The 90‑Year‑Old Veteran, Says “No Stroke, No Problem”
Patrick’s longtime buddy and fellow actor Bowie Wu stepped into the mix with a piping cup of tea in hand (literal tea, mind you). With a grin, he refuted rumors of any health stroke—or health trouble—he looked as if he was pitching a different drama entirely: “What’s wrong with him? We just had tea two weeks ago…”
And all those rumors? Pack ’em up—Stan, the fans, and even the reporters learned that Patrick was in good spirits and ready for the awards weekend.
Remember, the Mouth is NOT “Crooked” At the Heart of the Story!
So the take‑away: Patrick Tse’s little smile was due to a dental procedure, not a stroke, and the efficiency of the HKFA team—along with the help of close friends—made sure nobody stayed uncertain. The big point? Let’s keep our eyes peeled and our smiles perfect—but also, our jobs aren’t every day worth a dent—it’s just a joke about the rest of it!
