Charlie Young, Who Lives In Singapore, Says Her 4-Year-Old Twin Boys “Suck All The Energy Out Of [Her]”

Hongkong actress Charlie Young’s new fantasy movie Hello! Tapir premieres in Taiwan on February 1 and during a recent interview to promote the film, Charlie, 47, shared that when she was shooting the movie in Yilan in 2019, she really missed her four-year-old twin boys, Aloysius and Ignatius, who were then only one.

With her Singaporean husband Khoo Shao Tze, and their kids in Singapore, Charlie, who plays the mother of a boy who goes in search of a mythical nightmare-eating creature, could only rely on video chats to see them.

"We would only video chat after I left the studio as I was afraid it would affect the shoot. I would call them when I got back to the hotel or when I was in the car. I missed them very much. Even now, sometimes when I am away from them for too long, I will miss them,” she said.

“Because of the pandemic, I didn’t take on any jobs in the past two years, so I spent a lot of time with my kids, and they became more clingy to me.”
