Biography

Biography Timeline

1982

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. So, in the 1980s, he was named as one of “TVB’s Five Tigers” (their five up-and-coming male TV stars) along with Andy Lau, Felix Wong, Michael Miu and Kent Tong. Leung starred in the highly successful Police Cadet TV serial in 1984 (later named Police Cadet 84 to distinguish it from subsequent sequels).

1990

In 1990, during the filming of Days of Being Wild, Lau was abducted for several hours. Wong Kar-wai said, “Originally, there were plans for Days of Being Wild I and II, and the sequence featuring 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 Carina Lau’s kidnapping.

2005

During the late 1990s, Leung found it difficult to break into Hollywood since he would not take any roles that would degrade his character and image in Hong Kong. Eventually in 2005, he signed with an American agent with the intention to finally appear in a Hollywood film. On July 20, 2019, it was announced that Leung was cast to play The Mandarin in the Marvel Studios film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, marking his Hollywood debut.

2007

According to Ming Pao Daily News, Faye Wong and her husband actor Li Yapeng had taken them to India in 2007 to visit the 17th Karmapa. The Karmapa’s counsel helped them to resolve a crisis in their relationship, and he also suggested Bhutan as a wedding venue.

2008

Tony Leung and Carina Lau are one of Hong Kong’s biggest celebrity couples. They dated for 19 years before marrying in Bhutan in 2008. They had known each other since The Replica in 1984, and worked on-screen together 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).

On 21 July 2008, the couple got married in Bhutan in royal fashion. The wedding created a media frenzy in Hong Kong, with companies spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to pursue the wedding party.

2014

In 2014 he was selected as a member of the jury for the 64th Berlin International Film Festival.
