Earlier this year, it was reported that Hong Kong stars Ali Lee (李佳芯) and Chris Lai Lok Yi (黎諾懿) would be coming to Malaysia to film an upcoming project. Fast forward, the duo are now in Kuala Lumpur and have a lot to say about working here.

The two stars recently spoke to news outlets about filming in Malaysia for the upcoming Astro drama, “The Exiled”. In the show, Ali plays the tough wife of a gangster, while Chris plays the role of a gang leader. To fit into the roles, both of them have to dress in leather jackets. Unfortunately, the combination of leather outfits with the hot Malaysian weather posed difficulties for the duo.

Ali admitted to having a hard time adapting to the hot weather in Malaysia, saying her leather outfit can be overbearing at times. However, the actress found an unexpected positive side to the situation, saying, “Because I sweat a lot every day, I can eat more delicious food!”. She also expressed excitement about playing a gangster’s wife for the first time, saying she looks forward to bringing the character to life.

Meanwhile, Chris has other worries about the filming. Since the actor is playing a gang leader, he underwent vigorous training for the challenging action and gunfight scenes. The 45-year-old revealed that he has already lost 5kg from training. However, Chris joked that he might lose more weight given the hot weather in Malaysia, adding that people might think he was in the army once he returned to Hong Kong.

While the pair does have slight difficulties adapting to the Malaysian weather, they aren’t letting things slow down their work. Photos of Ali and Chris filming in local eateries have made their way to social media, showing their professionalism on set. Those working with the stars also praised them for their chemistry on-screen. However, the two remain humble off-screen, making sure to pose for photos with fans.

We’re sure Ali and Chris are both working hard for the new drama, and we wish them all the best. Perhaps some lucky local fans will be able to catch them in person while they’re in the country.
