Tang Wei defends Lei Jiayin for comment about her activity on set

11 Dec – Tang Wei recently defended co-star Lei Jiayin after fans expressed their anger towards the actor for criticising her during an interview.

As reported on Mingpao, the issue sparked recently during an interview that she and Lei attended to promote their new movie, "The Whistleblower", when the host asked both actors what was the most unbearable thing they did to each other during production.

Lei immediately revealed that Tang would frequently go to the toilet when they were filming his emotional scenes, and that it affected his mood and made it difficult for him to get back into character - which resulted in ten shots before he could finally do it right.

It is noted that Tang filmed the movie after giving birth to her first daughter, and was experiencing postpartum urinary incontinence.

The actress had to stop the interview for a while to wipe her tears, although it seemed that she was laughing about it and didn't take the comment as a slight.

However, fans were not amused by Lei's observation, saying that he was being disrespectful towards his co-star.

Tang later clarified that there was no issue between her and Lei, and that the actor knew that she was serious about her work and was never lazy.

In a previous interview, Lei stated that he really enjoyed working with Tang after realising that the actress was very down-to-earth and friendly towards others.
