HK actor Edison Chen, 45, marks return to big screen with new film, now being shot in Penang

After a 10-year break from the big screen, Hong Kong actor Edison Chen is making his comeback with a Chinese New Year film currently being shot in Malaysia.

The 45-year-old attended the film’s lensing ceremony in Penang on Thursday (Sept 17), alongside fellow actors Anthony Wong and Samuel Pang.

Chen previously scaled back his film and television projects to focus on his fashion business and spend more time with his family.

During the lensing ceremony, the venue erupted in cheers when the host handed Chen the microphone, underscoring the actor’s enduring star power.

Chen said he had been looking forward to working on the film and he thanked everyone involved in the production.
