Hellooo out there fellow Star Gazers! It’s Showbiz Sista’s Little Helper, Kat (I stole Phin’s log-in ID), here again to update you about a certain local film by the name of Happy Go Lucky, or Fu Xing Dao.
Starring Caldecott sweetheart Fann Wong, funny lady Patricia Mok, and veteran Channel 8 actor Richard Low, Happy Go Lucky is a family comedy revolving around the exploits of hardcore gambler Hock Lee Poh (Low), his indulgent elder daughter (Mok), and her supposedly unlucky little sis (Wong).
Yep, that’s right. Fann, who in reality is pushing 40, plays a wide-eyed teenaged girl – and manages to pull it off without anyone chuckling rudely. And no wonder – the star showed up with hubby Christopher Lee at the premiere of Happy Go Lucky at The Cathay looking more youthful than ever.
Fann's fans dressed as the Indigo Girls at the premiere.
Guess love really is the best anti-aging formula for a woman. The same formula, it seems, does strange things to a man’s hair.
Chris' hair was, as he discovered after he'd washed it, dry clean only.
It’s like a cross between the end of a poodle’s tail and Samuel L Jackson’s jheri curls in Pulp Fiction. Or maybe it was just REALLY humid outside. We love you Chris, but you’ve gotta say no to the ’fro.
Fann checks out Chris' hair and is suddenly paranoid that the evil humidity will get her too.
Meanwhile, a very petite Zebra had to die for a good cause: Patricia’s feet. A safari is not a mall, sweetie.
The fiesty zebra fights back by tickling Patricia's feet.
When they were done posing and preening for the cameras, the cast and crew of Happy Go Lucky got ready for the cake-cutting ceremony of the 5-kg cake Polar had prepared in honour of the movie.
Not the new Star Award.
Someone forgot to bring enough knives. Thankfully everyone was nice enough to share.
Fann's calorie intake for the year.
Spotted hanging back and chatting with members of the press were the other newlyweds Michelle Chia and Shaun Chen, who had turned up to show their support for the event.
Michelle and Shaun aren't in the film but they heard there was cake.
I approached Michelle and asked her how she had spent the new year season. Her reply was short, sweet, and succinct.
Also spotted at the event: Li Nanxing, who knows a thing or two about gambling from his Unbeatables days. The dude does not age. Maybe it’s the air up on the Caldecott hill.
One of these guys had a perm. Take your time, it's very subtle.
Chris would like to warn you about the killer humidity though.
Happy Go Lucky opens in cinemas March 4.
