Star Awards 2022 Evergreen Artiste Winner Xiang Yun, 60, On Her Reaction When She Sees Signs Like ‘Chicken Rice Is Free For Old People Over 60’
The star shares her renewed passion for acting and why hubby Edmund Chen will “definitely complain” about missing SA 2022.
It’s Xiang Yun’s third Evergreen Artiste win, but only the actress’ son, Chen Xi, 31, was present at the Mediacorp Theatre to witness the 60-year-old’s win this year.
In an interview with the media after her win, Xiang Yun lets on that there were actually tickets prepared for her husband, former actor Edmund Chen, 60, as well as their daughter, Chen Yixin, 21.
But she’d told them it was okay for them not to attend this year, ‘cos she didn’t think she’d win.
“My family wanted to come, Edmund asked me if I'd get an award, [he said]: ‘If you get an award then I'll go.’ I said I won't win, so he said: ‘Okay, then I won't attend, all right? Sorry, wife’,” she shared.
She’d thought Lin Meijiao would win, since My Star Bride was a “very strong contender”. Meijiao went on to win Best Supporting Actress for her role in the drama.
