Alex Man takes movie offers based on health situation
24 Jun - It has been a long while since Alex Man starred in a Hong Kong production, which is why many thought there was a special reason why he decided to star in "Zombiology: Enjoy Yourself Tonight", Mingpao reported.
However, the actor, who is suffering from diabetes recently revealed that he only takes an acting job based on his health condition.
Admitting that his condition is currently stable after taking his own special blend of herbal medicine, Alex said that he was contacted by a film producer through a mutual friend last year and was offered a role in the movie.
"I was very happy that I am healthy enough to handle it, or it would have been tough and unpleasant because I wouldn't have the energy to do it," he said.
He added that the ability to complete the job that he likes with a healthy body is the greatest happiness for him.
Speaking about his role in the movie, Alex admitted that it was no easy feat, especially since he has to put on a special effects make-up in the hot summer sun.
"I kept sweating and the assistant used blow dryer to dry the sweat, which makes the glue dry up faster," he said.
The movie is scheduled for release at the end of June.
