TVB Actor Vincent Wong’s Younger Brother Is Hoping To Make It Big So He Joined TVB’s Competitor
Vincent rarely mentions Tony in interviews because he wants his brother to make it big through his own efforts.
TVB actor Vincent Wong’s Best Actor win at the annual TVB Anniversary Awards in 2017 was a win nine years in the making. The actor joined TVB in 2008 and slowly worked his up to become one of the station's leading men. So the 37-year-old knows a lot about putting in the hard work to get to where you want to be.
And now his younger brother, Tony Wong, is hoping to follow in his footsteps.
Meet Tony, Vincent's younger brother
A few years back, there was a lot of buzz surrounding Tony. He had made it through the initial round of the annual Mr Hongkong pageant and was shaping up to be one of the hot favourites for the 2016 crown.
However, Tony, who was 26 then, dropped out soon after, citing “health issues”. According to reports, Tony suffered from insomnia due to stress and anxiety, and had been hospitalised briefly due to other ailments.
Tony's reportedly working as a model and a financial advisor as well
Despite his withdrawal from the competition, TVB offered Tony a contract in 2017, and he appeared on shows like reality show Perfect Dating and the drama Flying Tiger.
Even though many viewers were surprised at how much the brothers resembled each other, Vincent rarely mentions Tony in interviews. And no, it's not because they don't get along. His reason? According to Tony, Vincent “wanted [him] to make it big through [his] own efforts, just like he did”.
On his way to superstardom?
After Tony’s contract with TVB expired, the now 30-year-old decided to become an artiste with competing broadcaster ViuTV and was most recently seen in a supporting role in ViuTV’s latest drama, Iron Ladies.
With this new move, Tony’s setting his sights big. Well, according to this now-deleted post on Facebook on October 17 anyway.
“'If you want to succeed in your chosen field, you have to set a goal. If you’re an actor, then you’ll have to make your target the Best Actor award'. I like this quote,” his post read.
