Pakho Chau Films Nude Scene in Horror Movie

Raymond’s rumored love rival Pakho Chau was also present at the ceremony on Sunday. Earlier, local tabloids had alleged that Karena was flirting with Pakho in an effort to make Raymond jealous and speed up marriage plans. Raymond and Karena later released a statement denying these claims.

At twenty-nine, Pakho has already built a solid fan base and is making good progress in both music and film. He picked up a Local Male Singer award at the ceremony, and was also recognized for his single My Vow <我的宣言>, which earned the Most Popular Song and Best Songwriting awards.

Pakho recently returned from Thailand after filming for Four Nots <四非>. Directed by Jill Wong (黄柏基), who specializes in the horror genre, the film stars Pakho as a killer with a deformed face. Pakho puts his professionalism to the test with this challenging role. He described filming in a large landfill, lying completely naked amongst discarded trash.

Recalling this particularly unpleasant filming experience, Pakho shared, “I was filming a dying scene and was covered with fake blood made with sugary syrup. Tens of thousands of flies surrounded me and tried to get into any and all openings on my body….” Despite the harsh working conditions, Pakho managed to complete the scene after three long days, and joked that he eventually became good friends with the attacking insects.
