‘I am not leaving showbiz, I love my job’, says Linda Chung
HONG KONG: Linda Chung has denied recent news report that she will be withdrawing from showbiz completely in order to take care of her family.
Four days ago on social networking website, Linda shares a video clip of herself dancing on the grass and denying the retirement reports: “Some rumours point that I am retiring but not at all as I love my job. Of course, family is my priority and they support my decision with 100%. Retirement is not my target but happiness.”
Earlier this month, Linda Chung returned to Hong Kong to do an interview with her close friend Steven Ma. Her husband Jeremy and her daughter Kelly also came together with her.
During the interview, the close friends caught up with each other and shared some of their past filming experiences with the press. Steven said Linda was one of his hardest candidates to interview — because they were so close, there were many things that Steven wanted to talk about with Linda, but couldn’t.
Steven then recalled his experience working with Linda for TVB’s Ghost Writer in 2009. That year was one of Linda’s roughest since her debut. “She’d come to work looking like a zombie every day,” said Steven. “One day, she told me, in a serious tone, that she’s seen a ghost at home.”
“That was what I thought,” said Linda. “I was so tired I started seeing things.”
“She would come to work in tears,” Steven added. “We were so worried about her.”
Linda explained, “I was homesick. I had three ongoing projects on top of Ghost Writer.”
Steven said, “She really didn’t have time to sleep, because of that, her immune system was affected. She started growing hives all over her body, and her skin was peeling off to.”
Linda then shared, “Ah Gor stopped the camera halfway because he had to peel off the skin on my left ear before we could continue filming.”
