Charmaine Sheh Disregards Spinal Injury by Lifting 30-pound Ice Bags
The filming for the new TVB drama, The Apostle <使徒行者>, is currently underway. Despite her old hiernated disc, Charmaine Sheh (佘詩曼) was seen carrying 30 pounds worth of ice while running in a scene.
Last year, Charmaine took several weeks off from work to see a chiropractor and treat her spinal injury. Although she is still going through rehabilitation, the actress is determined to continue filming for The Apostle, even if it meant straining her back in some filming requirements.
Charmaine was very professional and did not ask for a stunt performer to film her scene. She also already practiced beforehand to see if she can handle three bags of ice. Although she was mindful of her back, she and co-stars, Raymond Lam (林峯) and Oscar Leung (梁烈唯) could not stop laughing during the actual filming, resulting in many retakes.
When asked if she’s afraid that her wounds will act up again, Charmaine answered, “The crew tries to accommodate me, like using fake ice pellets. But even though the ice pellets aren’t real, they’re still quite heavy. And of course I’m afraid, but it can’t be helped! I have to get into character when filming. And besides, I’ve already accumulated many injuries in the last couple of years.”

I think Charmaine is a bit stupid to film such a scene – carrying 30 pounds worth of ice while running – with her neck injury. It could hurt her neck badly.
That is not called professional, just plainly er.. Anything to do with back, spinal or neck injury it’s not a small deal..
They used fake ice so it’s not actually 30 pounds.
Even if it is only 10 lb., it is no good for her neck.
Anything to do with back, spinal or neck injury it’s not a small deal.. . agree. It cannot be cured for good.
More like 10 ounces of the plastic paper looking ice cube bag prop.
I heard those fake styrofoam like they use for rocks and stuff are really really light,so I do not think it is even 1-2 pounds so it should not be a big deal.
Agreed, Charmaine is such a good actress though to gain sympathy. haha 🙂
Poor Charmaine!! Why can’t she realize health is above all?
Charmaine is a very hardworking person and she wants to ensure she will perform well in each drame she films.Furthermore, this is her 1st TVB drama after her returns to TVB and she wants to deliver the best performance to the audience. Keep up the good work ethic but also remember to take good care of your health. Will always support you.
Agree with u
It dose look pretty funny
Omg…im suffering a neck injury myself right now and its not comfortable at alll! I wouldnt lift anything and havent lift anything yet it still has not heal for A month already..i hope she takes care of herself! work is important but health should be #1 priority.
I honestly cannot wait to watch this!!
No matter how professional Charmaine is, she shouldn’t risk her health. Who is going to take care of her if she injures her neck again and cannot film any more drama series in future?
No matter what is charmaine sheh that tired to lift a 30-pound ice bag she still had to have a good rest cause she had a injury that is very sad for her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!>.< oh how sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am very sad for her that got injured from her neck
Me too i really wanted to watch this tv show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Can’t Wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!>..<
Me too….after so long didnt watch Charmaine’s drama
I refuse to believe these are real ice bags. They’re fake.
They are fake. I remember my teacher once throwing a fake rock at me which scared me to death. But once it hit my face,I did not even feel anything because it was the very light styrofoam that they used in movies for rocks and stuff. It is even lighter and softer than normal styrofoam. I think that is what they used and if they did,it should be very very light.
