Biography

Early life

Leung was born in Hong Kong, though his family comes from Taishan, Guangdong, China. Leung's early childhood was punctuated with parents' quarrels and arguments about money. A mischievous boy in his early years, Leung's personality changed when his father, a chronic gambler, left the family when he was eight; he and his younger sister were brought up single-handedly by their mother.[1][2] Taishan (台山; Mandarin: Táishān; Cantonese: Toisan; Taishanese: Hoisan, Other: Toishan, Toisaan) is a coastal county-level city in Guangdong Province, China. ... Not to be confused with the former Kwantung Leased Territory in north-eastern China. ... Gambling (or betting) is any behavior involving the risk of money or valuables on the outcome of a game, contest, or other event in which the outcome of that activity is partially or totally dependent upon chance. ...


Leung became a reticient, quiet child; his childhood experiences made it difficult for him to trust in marriage and paved the way for his acting career, which allow him "to express my emotions without me getting embarrassed. I can cry or smash things on the set, but no one knows that's just acting or that's how I am really feeling." "After my father left me when I was eight, I became afraid to talk to other people. In school, when other children talked about their parents, I would get very embarrassed. I didn't want to mention my father, so I seldom talked to others".[3]


His childhood has had a lasting effect on Leung's personality. "I am very restrained, very suppressed, very quiet. I don't like to talk too much because I don't know what to do in front of an audience. Actually, I don't know how to communicate with others because of my background and I am scared".[4]


Leung's mother worked hard to keep him attending a private school, but even so, Tony had to quit school at the age of 15 due to financial difficulties. As an adolescent he behaved himself and remained very close to his mother. During a DVD interview on the making of Hero, he says that he sees his mother as his definition of a "hero[ine]" for having brought up two children alone. DVD (also known as Digital Versatile Disc or Digital Video Disc) is a popular optical disc storage media format. ...


Television career

After quitting his studies, Leung worked in a variety of jobs, first as a grocer's runner at his uncle's shop, then a showroom salesman in a Hong Kong shopping centre. He met actor and comedian Stephen Chow who influenced his decision to become an actor and remains a good friend.

In 1982 he passed the training courses of television channel TVB. Due to his boyish looks, TVB cast him as host of a children's programme, 430 Space Shuttle. Leung enjoyed comedies during his television years; it was for these he became well known. REDIRECT Television Broadcasts Limited ...


Film career

Leung speaks decent English and is well read and well versed on historical issues. During the late 1990s, some predicted that it would be difficult for him to break into Hollywood since he would not take on degrading roles because of his pride and character. To date, he has not done a Hollywood movie, but is primed to appear in one after signing on with an American film agent.[6][7] ...


During the promotion of the movie Hero, some politicians and commentators in Hong Kong attacked Leung for expressing the view that the Tiananmen Square demonstration massacre was necessary to maintain stability. Under constant political pressure and boycott threats, Leung made a single statement that he may have been quoted out of context. He refused to retract his statement in the magazine.[8] However, the movie magazine editor maintained that the original statement was not out of context and challenged people to read the complete interview.

Relationship with Carina Lau

Leung has dated Carina Lau since the end of 1989. He had known her since The Replica in 1984 as she had been good friends with Margie Tsang, his previous girlfriend. He worked on-screen with Lau in Replica (1984), Duke of Mount Deer (1984), Police Cadet (1984, 1985, 1988), The Yangs' Saga (1985), Days of Being Wild (1991), He ain't heavy, he's my father (1993), Ashes of Time (1994), and 2046 (2005). Carina Lau Kar-ling (Traditional Chinese: 劉嘉玲, Simplified Chinese: 刘嘉玲, pinyin: Liú Jiālíng;Wu Chinese (Suzhou Dialect) IPA:[liY][kɒ][lin]; born December 8, 1965 in Suzhou, China with family roots in Rongxian, Guangxi, China), is a Hong Kong actress. ...


In 1990, during the filming of Days of Being Wild, Lau was abducted for several hours, and topless photos of her were snapped (years later, Hong Kong tabloids published photos of a nude and frightened Lau). It is now believed that the man behind the kidnapping is a show business entrepreneur with whom Lau was having a financial dispute.


Wong Kar-wai said, "Originally, there were plans for Days of Being Wild I and II, and the sequence featuring Tony Leung was meant to be the opening scene of the second movie. But two things happened, one of which was that Days of Being Wild didn't do well in Hong Kong, so the producers said, "No Part 2." The other reason was the incident of Carina Lau's kidnapping".[citation needed]


Leung has said that Lau never wanted to talk about what happened in those missing hours with anyone, including him. "I told her that was fine, I had no right to ask," he said. "I was just glad to have her home safe"[9] He then told Wong Kar Wai that he did not want to go back to work anytime soon. "A human being is more important than a movie," he said.[9]


Friendship with Maggie Cheung

Their first TV serial together was the highly successful Police Cadet in 1984 (later named Police Cadet 84 to distinguish it from subsequent sequels). Leung played an outgoing young man who decides to become a police officer in order to earn a living for his family; Cheung played a shy bookworm, Tony's upstairs neighbour and love interest. Since then they have worked together on The Yangs' Saga (1985), Days of Being Wild (1991), Ashes of Time (1994), In the Mood for Love (2000), Hero (2002), and 2046 (2005).


In an interview by renowned director Wong Kar-wai, Leung had this to say about Cheung: Wong Kar-wai (Traditional Chinese: ; Simplified Chinese: ; Pinyin: ; Cantonese Yale: Wòhng Gà Waih; Shanghainese Latin method: Wan Kawe; born July 17, 1958) is a Hong Kong film director known for his visually unique, highly stylized art films. ... Maggie Cheung Man-yuk (張曼玉; pinyin: Zhāng Mànyù; Cantonese: dzoeng1 maan6 juk9/juk2) (born September 20, 1964) is a multi award-winning Chinese actress from Hong Kong. ...


"She is like my alter ego. We started our careers at almost the same time and acted opposite each other in our first television series and on some other occasions - like on the Days of Being Wild sequel, which was never released, and on Ashes of Time. But we did not work opposite each other again until In the Mood for Love. Maggie is a truly formidable partner - one to waltz with. We do not spend a lot of time with each other, as we like to keep some mystery between us. Whenever I see her, I discover something new about her".[10]

Tony Leung Chiu-Wai (508 words)
In many ways, this was a career-defining performance, and Leung was nominated for yet another supporting actor award at the HK Film Awards.
Leung played the supporting role as if it were a lead, and the resulting performance was powerful enough to match Chow Yun Fat’s charismatic turn.
To account for Leung’s success we only have to look at his acting style: he is quiet and intense, with a powerful screen presence that draws the audience in, so that every nuance, every movement has emotional power.
