Where Did Best Supporting Actor Jeffrey Xu Take Top 10 Winner Felicia Chin To Celebrate Their Star Awards 2022 Triumphs?

8DAYS: You said you’d be getting fried chicken to celebrate with Felicia tonight. So where did you guys end up going?

JEFFREY XU: We ended up getting fast food. Cos’ it’s the fastest and we are all famished. We also gotta wake up early for work tomorrow.

You ended up getting McDonald’s again?

Yup! (laughs)

With Felicia bagging her 10th Most Popular Award home tonight, do you guys have plans for a bigger celebration? Or a more special meal?

Not really. Every year after the Star Awards we will just relax. Because we get quite nervous during this period and after the show is when we can finally let go and return to our ‘normal selves’. We will just do some things that make each other happy like eating ice cream and fried chicken.

Earlier on stage you mentioned that you were new to receiving such awards and that you didn’t know that you had such little time for your speech. Is there anyone you’d like to thank whom you left out?

I have a lot of people to thank. I have to thank all the producers and managers at TCA, but I also want to thank my co-star Zhang Zetong, because he really places his trust in me when we’re filming our scenes. (Zetong plays Jeffrey’s younger brother who goes to jail for the latter’s drug-related crimes.)

In the show The Takedown, you portray a villain and gained recognition for it. Do you think playing the bad guy will continue paying off for you?

I don’t mind portraying any character. As an actor, any role is a new challenge and I think it’s important to bring the character to life and the audience will relate to him and acknowledge the performance. I think all the best actors start from smaller roles, like supporting actor and they grow from there. [Getting] Best Actor is my dream and something I want to work towards.
