The on-screen chemistry between former TVB actors Linda Chung and Raymond Lam once made them fan favourites. Now, they are pairing up again, this time for a commercial.
Chung, 41, and Lam, 45, played a legal-eagle couple, Sheung Tsoi Sum and Alfred Ching respectively, in TVB contemporary drama Heart Of Greed (2007), and there was talk they had become an item after filming.
Chung and Lam returned as couple Yue So Sum and Steward Boy in another series, Moonlight Resonance (2008), a sequel in spirit to Heart Of Greed.
The two actors recently appeared in a mobile phone commercial, playing two lawyers debating the merits of the phone in a courtroom. In a throwback, Lam’s character addressed Chung’s as “Lawyer Sheung” in the commercial.
On social media, Chung posted photos of them on set on Aug 5. The Canada-born actress wrote in English: “I haven’t acted as a character in a long time, and it felt really good to be back – especially working with my old colleague Raymond Lam. It felt familiar, and also different in a good way. Hope you enjoy our new project.”
Her last TV role was as Dr Eman in TVB medical drama Kids’ Lives Matter (2021), for which she was nominated for Best Actress at the TVB Awards Presentation 2021.
Chung and Lam generated buzz on May 26 when she made a special appearance at his Go With The Flow concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum. Lam said a classic line from Heart Of Greed, as Chung said they had not met for over 10 years.
The two artistes also performed My Heart Understands, the closing theme song of Heart Of Greed, at the concert.
Chung dated Hong Kong-born American actor Philip Ng in secret for about eight years before they broke up. She is now married to chiropractor Jeremy Leung, and they have three children aged two to eight.
Lam dated Chinese model Pan Shuangshuang and then Hong Kong model-actress Karena Ng. He is now married to Chinese model Carina Zhang, and they have a daughter who turns five in September. The family was recently in Singapore for their summer vacation.
