No Kissing with Hot Summer Days’ co-star Nicholas Tse

Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu has rated her Hot Summer Days co-star Nicholas Tse’s kissing a big, fat zero. She didn’t manage to smooch him in the movie, though they played lovers, as Nicholas decided to give intimate scenes a miss, out of respect for his wife Cecilia Cheung. The directors Tony Chan and Wing Shya manipulated camera angles to make the two leads look like they’re kissing.
At the Shanghai event, Nicholas reiterated his stance. “It wasn’t her (Cecilia), but my decision as I respect her.”
“The courage to love,” he declared. “Before Cecilia and I got married, people talked a lot behind our backs, but we made the sacrifices to be where we are now. That’s romantic.”
The 29-year-old star, who was last seen in the critically-acclaimed Bodyguards and Assassins, said Hot Summer Days allowed him a lot of creative space. Directors Tony and Wing later joked that he improvised so much he didn’t need a script.
nicholas is so melodramatic…it’s just a kiss on screen. why he’s so sensitive about that, i thought he’s an actor. if you smooch on screen then it doesn’t mean you’re disrespecting your wife. it’s his job if he wants to be good at it.
what a disappointment.
..we’ll i think that’s how nicholas wants to show his love to his wife cecilia that’s why his not accepting any roles that involves such thing.but anyway, since barbie is a good actress,the movie HOT SUMMER LOVE was made out of good taste and its ok that it does not involve romantic scenes bec. they’re good actors they can act it out on the screen like they’re really doing it..
