Some fans would do anything to get close to their favourite celebrity. Recently, a female fan pushed through bodyguards to take a photo with Hong Kong actor Kenneth Ma (馬國明), prompting mixed reactions from netizens.
Kenneth was recently in Malaysia to perform at the “Star Glories Shine” concert alongside other TVB stars, including Edwin Siu (蕭正楠), Katy Kung (龔嘉欣) and Joel Chan (陳山聰). The event was held at the Arena of Stars at Resorts World Genting, so naturally, the stars casually walked around the iconic tourist destination. Unfortunately, that also meant crowds of fans following the celebrities wherever they went to try to take photos.
One video posted on social media shows Kenneth walking around the resort while escorted by a group of bodyguards. However, a few fans were trying to push through the crowd, likely to take photos with the actor. One female fan was trying to squeeze through two bodyguards, making it difficult for Kenneth to move. While the security personnel were trying to push the fan away, Kenneth kindly allowed the fan to take a photo with him.
Not only was the actor not angry at the pushy fan, but he told the bodyguards to allow the fan to take a photo with him. Upon getting the okay from Kenneth, the female fan immediately got close and took her picture. Kenneth also had a smile on his face despite the crowd, showing how considerate he is to fans. The same clip also showed him taking a photo with another fan just after the chaotic scene earlier.
Many netizens have since reacted to the video, sharing mixed responses. Many praised the actor for his humble and warm character, noting how he graciously took photos with fans when asked. Some also said his gentlemanly side was what won him many fans. However, others criticised the female fan for trying to push through the crowd for her photo, lamenting that she could’ve accidentally hurt those around her.
While Kenneth was kind enough to stop for fans, we don’t encourage pushing through crowds to get closer to your favourite star. We’re just glad no one was hurt, and we hope Kenneth wasn’t too upset by the chaos.
