Kevin Cheng Allegedly Blew Up at a Director Because of Grace Chan

The gossip mills will never stop turning, and this time, the topic lies on the popular couple, Kevin Cheng (鄭嘉穎) and Grace Chan (陳凱琳).

Ever since her first venture into acting after winning 2013’s Miss Hong Kong, 25-year-old Grace Chan has been the bane of acting critics. After receiving terrible remarks about her poor acting in last year’s Captain of Destiny <張保仔>, Grace was hit with even more negative reviews for Brother’s Keeper 2 <巨輪II>, which will air its series finale tonight.

Fortunately for Grace, boyfriend Kevin Cheng (鄭嘉穎), who is 22 years her senior, has been around to give her emotional support. Grace has thanked Kevin multiple times in the past for supporting her.

But Kevin’s emotional support turned into something much more physical. According to a recent gossip report, Kevin had blown up at a director while filming a night scene for the TVB drama, Lost <迷>. He had cursed and slammed tables, allegedly yelling, “I’m not doing this anymore!” before leaving the film set without a second glance.

The report claimed that Kevin’s anger was stemmed from Grace’s questionable storyline in Brother’s Keeper 2. On the show, Grace gets sexually harassed and almost raped by her adoptive father, portrayed by Hugo Ng (吳岱融). Kevin was reportedly very upset that Grace had to film such tasteless, “incestuous” scenes.

It was also said that Kevin didn’t like the idea of Grace going skinny dipping with Edwin Siu (蕭正楠) for the show and had complained about it to Brother’s Keeper 2 producer Amy Wong (王心慰), who also produces Lost.

Kevin has yet to make comments about these claims.

  1. So big shot. How many actors will/can slam at directors? Why tvb ALWAYS have to beg the older generations to come back to tvb, even for only 1 series? I am sure there are always other actors can try for the role. When can tvb treat newbies/ other actors who are not too popular, but loyal better, and learn how to let go of actor/actress who doesn’t appreciate tvb anymore?

    1. @dramadrama yes…there are many actors/actresses who can do a better job than those who act diva.
      drama after drama, grace chan has failed to show any improvement. YET she can get best improvement award. who is the dumb person(s) who decided on that?

      1. @janet72 Yeah. Can’t deny her acting is really from bad to worst. But the issue here is not about her acting. Is about her bf acting up. Even veteran like Liu Kai Chi and Alex did not throw tantrum like this. So unprofessional, regardless of whatever reason. Tbh, I don’t really think it’s because of his gf screen shoot. But even if he is tired or have different opinion, could have voiced it out nicely. Just to highlight that there are many veterans actors out there who have manners and team spirit.

      2. @dramadrama I have a feeling this piece of news is just for this girl to gain some sympathy points from the audiences. It wouldn’t have a strong impact on the old uncle now since he has made his pot of gold for past few years with his idol image. He also doesn’t have to worry about how audience look at him now and he is not in TVB now.

      3. @celin I don’t care if the uncle is rich or popular. No one forces him to work in the first place. If he already agreed on filming, he should not behave like this. I can’t stand this uncle anymore. I hope tvb sack him and banned him from tvb. But knowing tvb, I am sure tvb will still go on their knees and lick his boot, don’t know for what.

  2. I’m comfortable with the veteran actors coming back to tvb to act in fact even better all these old actors know what they are doing unlike those newbies can’t act and make you more irritating to watch the drama. As a boyfriend for Kevin to get upset is understandable to watch such a scene who doesn’t feel upset unless that person has no emotion and feeling for his girlfriend. Actually is not fair for Grace Chan to act such a daring and sextually insulting scene so fast.look at Linda Chung almost 15++ years with tvb none of her dramas are daring and sextually insulting and yet tvb promoting her drama after drama omg her acting is suck and she doesnt deserves all her awards too. Tvb giving Grace Chan the most improved award for an exchange of this daring scene actually is insulting her if this is their idea poor Grace Chan.

  3. It is always amusing to watch one uncle being jealous of another over the affection of their “niece”.

    But I must say it is rather unusual for one to express his “emotional support” via cursing and slamming tables. LOL!!

    1. @aiya very very unprofessional for an actor who has been around for so long. perhaps this is an opportunity to make grace chan quit.

  4. although people complain about grace but i see the future charmine in her. charmine was terrible too in her first few dramas. i think grace is pretty and much better than sisley whom i find extremely annoying and ugly. how come no one talks about pricilla, she’s pretty bad too considering that she’s been in more dramas and she hasn’t improved.

    1. @m0m0 charmaine was much more bearable in her first few series. she was kinda wooden in the beginning and kind of did have a ‘chicken’ voice, but not to the extent of grace. i dunno what happened with grace. she was pretty decent in her first drama and showed loads of potential. then it dramatically and steeply declined. i think they’re giving her too many intense emotional scenes too fast. she doesn’t have time to reflect and just gets zoomed off for the next project.

    2. @m0m0
      Priscilla cannot be compared to Grace. Priscilla has been quite steady in most of her series and expresses her emotions well. Charmaine is a one off though. From terrible to great. It suddenly clicked for her in Return of the Cuckoo.

      1. @jimmyszeto the other one who is stiff and a torture watching is Lee San San. thank goodness we don’t have to put up with her anymore.
        Priscilla doesn’t scream and her expressions are not fake unlike grace chan.

      2. @janet72
        Hahaha. I agree. Was watching a Lee San San series a while back and was reminded of how stiff her acting is. At least she understands her limits and has disappears. Grace is still delusional and thinks she will become the next big thing. She expects the viewers to continue to torture themselves and watch her and keep giving her time to improve.

      3. @jimmyszeto I didn’t watch Brother Keepers because the plot is not interesting. With Grace Chan in it, i skipped it completely. If grace Chan continues to live in denial, it is very unfair to other artistes who work so hard. I just cringe watching her.

      4. @janet72
        I stopped watching as soon as Grace appeared. I came back to watch the last few episode though because of Hugo Ng. The scenes I saw Grace in felt like she had just come off the set of Captain of Destiny. It’s so cringeworthy and bad, I feel embarrassed and sorry for her. It’s disappointing that everyone has skipped the series because of Grace and Edwin so missed an incredible performance by Hugo Ng. He’s in the Anthony Wong level. Everyone is just terrible in comparison.

    3. @m0m0 With Grace, it’s her lack of improvement that annoys me. To top it off, she has the I-can’t-take-criticism attitude.

    4. @m0m0 Priscilla has a pretty big fanbase and her series with Raymond Wong are quite popular. I think Priscilla is pretty good seeing that every time I notice a difference between her characters. I can’t wait to see her in Two Steps from Heaven.

  5. Kevin is not the only one feeling the pain of watching Grace on screen. The viewers are finding it especially tough because her acting is so awfully bad. Please spare us this torture TVB! It’s been a few years now, I think Graces lack of talent and improvement is quite obvious now.

  6. In my very own personal view , I totally agreed that Grace acting is really stiff and fake . She is trying too hard but sad to say there’s really no improvement on her part after so many dramas and opportunity given to her . I’ve enjoyed watching Brother’s Keeper 2 but it annoys me when Grace tends to over do it by means of expression etc . Sorry , no offense .
    Thank you

    1. @riomama89 grace chan has not improved at all. like what tiffany mentioned, she still doesn’t accept that her acting hasn’t improved and tells everyone she has sacrificed a lot. goodness, which artiste didn’t sacrifice while acting. but her lack of skills makes viewers cringe watching her.

      1. @janet72 Maybe that is the best she can do in her acting. Somehow, she never accept criticism. Always gave lame reply. Though there are people said she is smart but she doesn’t seems to know how to handle and talk in front of the reporters. I don’t consider she is smart in this sense. Once a while, would mention the uncle’s name to gain support from his fans like chatterbox.

      2. @celin It’s not that she never accept criticism. It’s the uncle bf, who always said that as long as she tried her best, results doesn’t matter. Like what is wrong with him?? Most actor/actresses worked their hardest at all parts, even kelafe. Since is so experienced, he should gave her constructive feedback and pointers on how to improve. Not blindly sided with the young niece gf.

    2. @riomama89 The character in a script tend to include both a sense of what audiences see (the character’s physical appearance) and an intriguing tidbit about their personality and/or situation, She can’t even go into the character to act, how to expect the audiences to get the feel of the person character in the story. She is just acting for the sake of acting. Even when she cried, she was forcing herself to cry out but no teardrop.

      I wonder why Most Improved was given to her at the first place or maybe through connection. Nothing to be surprised though, since she comes from a rich family.

      1. @celin maybe because of her rich background, Uncle Cheng doesn’t want to give her up even though she provides the reporters with so much info about themselves.

        tvb should drop her to supporting roles to gain experience and work her way up. but if tvb does give her minor roles, her uncle boyfriend might bang table.

    3. @riomama89
      Grace goes into a breathing fit whenever she delivers hers line. She doesn’t know the basics of acting, when to pause, when to use facial expressions etr. She has zero talent and I’ve never seen an actor/actress struggle with this so much.

  7. Wonder if this is true. As an actor himself, he should know better than others on the nature of their job. Didn’t watch the drama but as a TV drama with stricter regulations, the scene shouldn’t be that revealing to cause an uproar.
    On the other hand, if he did behave so, then he should just marry her and ask her to stay at home or find another job. This will make him a more professional actor with better manners and can save us all from having to watch her onscreen.

    1. @bearbear lol. So true. So pampered then keep at home for personal use. No need her to come out and earn money. But if she really loved acting, at least just work as 3rd female cast rather than 1st or 2nd lead. Then she can avoid any role that uncle don’t like, and we also can see less of her. Win win situation. If she really wanna act as female lead, having a old uncle acting like a child to directors sure would not help!! Unless he bring her under his company, and only gives her the role that he liked. This uncle gives me goose bump from his behaviour.

      1. @dramadrama Agree, his behaviour, if true, is not helping the situation. Viewers like us who are already not fond of her acting are more turned-off by her constant denial on her bad acting and his unprofessionalism.She should really step down from being the leading actress.

      2. @dramadrama she doesn’t deserve to hold lead roles…after 3 years and several dramas, there is no improvement at all. watching her already gives goosebumps, her boyfriend only made it worse!

  8. I think it’s about time that Kevin should marry Grace already because he’s not getting any younger and beside he stand up for her so much even have to go angry with the director it show he does really loved her very much. I also think Grace should follow Aimee Chan foot step get married and have children since her acting are getting worst instead getting better that way she’s not going to be on screen that much.

    1. @asian2015 don’t we all wish that grace chan will disappear from our screens for good? it’s been 3 years since she won the crown, and it is proven that she cannot act and unable to take criticisms.

      hope grace chan and kevin cheng get married quickly, have kids and stay home to look after them. then we are spared from her horrible acting from her.
      she should quit and find another job.

  9. Grace eitherr needs to get out of the entertainment industry altogether or start by taking acting classes. Look at Fala Chen! She’s at freaking Julliard for acting and she’s an A-class celeb. Grace seriously needs to stop spoiling dramas and stop taking lead roles. She has no actress’s charisma! When will she accept that.

    1. @bubbles23 she won’t accept that she can’t act. hope kevin cheng marries her quickly and keep her at home…better still they both migrate to canada.

      1. @whitney66 she did mention she misses canada. so why not pack up and go home? she will not be missed. after 3 years, her acting has not improved while sisley has toned down and shown some improvement.
        there are actresses who are pretty. if she continues to be lead role and pulls the ratings down, it is not fair to the other artistes.

    2. @bubbles23
      Grace doesn’t have the pedigree to get into good acting courses.The ones she will gain entry to are beginner classes, the ones the likes of me and you can attend.

  10. Still curious whether she is adopted because the more I look at her, she doesn’t look like her parents and doesn’t have a Chinese look. If she is adopted together with her twin brother, she is hiding the truth of her biological parents profile when entering the MHK pageant

  11. Lol Kevin is really un-professional if it is true that he did slam table and screaming.

    Thanks goodness i skip the whole Brother’s keeper2. Grace was not bad when she first started acting, i didn’t mind her in that lawyer show and then she went downhill from there . i can’t stand watching her and couldn’t even finish the Captain of Destiny even tho Ruco was in it.

  12. Kevin Cheng has always struck me as one of those moody type of guys. His head got even bigger after gaining some modest popularity in China. I guess it gives him even more excuse to act like a big shot now.

  13. Come on guys, why do you call Kevin uncle all the time? He’s not that old and he still looks good. I don’t see you guys calling Wayne Lai , Roger Kwok, Moses Chan ,etc., “Uncle” all the time.

    Anyways, this article might not be true. They can be promoting Kevin’s new series, just to make some noises for now.

    However, if I was in Kevin’s shoes, I might get mad too if my pure gf acted in so many rape scenes. TVB was supposed to be promoting her
    , so why so many rape and incest scenes, right?

    1. @rainbow28 roger kwok, moses chan, wayne lai are in their late 40s and early 50s…true, they are ‘uncles’ in a way…except that their other halves are not 20 years younger than them or they bring a ‘lang mui’ around.

      1. @janet72 I think Chinese people in general need to start being more open minded. Seems like people make a big deal about couples who have a big age gap, or when the woman is the older one in the relationship.

        Hollywood doesn’t seem make such a big deal about age gaps. Really wish Asian media and Asian society as a whole did the same.
