Myolie Wu & Sharon Chan: A “Fear‑Factor” Reunion on Chi Chat
Last night’s episode of Chi Chat dropped on YouTube, and it was a surprisingly candid look at two veteran Hong Kong actresses who have been in each other’s kitchens—every time they film a drama. Myolie Wu and Sharon Chan (who’s 43 today) opened up about the early days in the TVB studio, the hectic schedules, and how they finally let loose after a long shoot.
When Myolie First Appeared “Scary” on Set
- Sharon admitted: When they started filming the 2004 hit Dream of Colours, Myolie struck her as a bit intimidating. “She had this presence, especially when she’d get serious—kinda spooky, right?”
- Myolie laughed it off: “Honestly, everyone knew I was a work‑horse by then. I’d glare at the clock, drive into the parking lot, and think, ‘I can’t, I’ll just sleep in the car for five minutes before getting ready for a shoot.’ That’s how exhausted I was.”
- She added that during those early TVB days she felt “mad tired” and nearly “missed out on making friends.”
From “Giant 5‑Minute Hang‑Outs” to Wild Birthday Bash
Fast forward to the day after the finale: Sharon was throwing a birthday party in Causeway Bay and roped Myolie in.
- Sharon’s planning: “I always set a dress code and plan a ton of stuff. I said—‘Let’s have a dress‑up night!’”
- Myolie’s epic take: “I went full “dinosaur” on the day. I had to keep it to the smallest normal outfit because I was super serious about the costume. It was massive.”
- They chose to stroll the streets, keeping a low profile. “We had no way to let people recognise us—so that was the fun part!”
Why They Finally Let Loose
During the talk show, Sharon said the crew was stretching their legs and taking chances when they had a break.
- “Once we got a moment to step away, we’d dive into something wild.
- “Those days of endless filming left no room for play—until we finally decided to have a laugh.”
So there you have it: Myolie Wu’s “no‑play” schedule, Sharon Chan’s “serious” on‑set demeanor, and the story of how a birthday party—and a dinosaur costume—broke the tension between two pieces of Hong Kong’s film heart.
