Christopher Lee’s Third Golden Bell Victory—And the Family’s Chaos!
On Saturday night, October 22, the 51‑year‑old actor Christopher Lee snagged his third Golden Bell trophy by landing Best Supporting Actor in a Television Series for the iQIYI drama Danger Zone. Talk about a streak!
Zoom‑in Family Tussle
After the awards, Christopher told the media he’d been eating dinner with his family—his wife, Singaporean actress Fann Wong, and their son Zed—all while watching the ceremony on his phone. Because the old ankle injury set him back, he couldn’t travel to Taipei. But that didn’t stop the excitement!
What Happens When the Wins Call?
During a late‑night Zoom chat, Christopher described the moment: “We were all settled at the dining table when I suddenly threw my hands up. Everyone realized—bam—the prize was mine!”
He remembered his wife’s frantic shout, “Wait, let me grab a new shirt!”—did anyone else have an “oops, I need a new shirt” moment on their anniversary? It’s how you remember a win in style.
Family Reactions
- Ghost‑ly excitement from everyone at the table.
- Rapid click‑click of religious calling his phone to figure out if he’d won or not.
- Picnic of self‑photography after he switched into a fresh top.
The Other Contenders
Christopher wasn’t the only contender. His rivals in the same category included:
- Wu Kang‑ren – Seqalu: Formosa 1867
- Chen Chia‑kuei – Heaven on the 4th Floor
- Chang Kuang‑chen – Light the Night
- Liu Kuan‑ting – Tears on Fire
- Hsueh Shih‑ling – Gold Leaf
Post‑Win Social Media Frenzy
Like every modern celebrity, Christopher posted an Instagram photo that had all the emojis you’d expect: “Tonight is a night full of miracles, it’s too unexpected! I kept screaming! Hope not to disturb neighbors! Haha!” He tagged his fellow cast, commended the crews, and yet admitted he might not sleep tonight.
The Backstory of the Foot
Earlier, on October 18, he posted a lead‑foot photo next to a crutch, explaining that a day of overexertion had inflamed an old injury from 20+ years ago. Doc said he’d be on the mend soon—so for a quick reminder, don’t run“until after a ten‑year‑old injury!”
Nationality and Identity Confusion
Some overseas outlets called him Malaysian; he clarified that he holds Singaporean citizenship but jokes that “I’m from xin ma” (which covers both Singapore and Malaysia). “No matter my nationality, I have roots in both places—and both have spun me into the man I am,” he said.
