“A lot of people said I’m an alcoholic and that I don’t know my limits, but has there ever been a photo of me being carried away by others [because I was too drunk]?” said Bobby. He then admitted that his hospitalisation had something to do with alcohol, but not in the way that most people think.

According to Bobby, he had a hotpot gathering with his family and friends on that day. As he was tired from filming TVB drama Always And Ever, he decided to have some drinks during the meal.

“I took a nap after that and told them to wake me up after a while. Some of the alcohol went down my windpipe and ended up in my lungs, so when they tried to wake me up, my face turned purple [because I couldn’t breathe]," he said. 

Bobby, who was semi-conscious then, was quickly rushed to the hospital. While doctors tried to save him, the actor says he had an out-of-body experience and could see himself lying on the hospital bed. He even saw the doctor pronouncing him dead.

“The doctor told me that I died at dawn but came back to life at about 9am,” added the actor. “After going through that, I’ve changed and now treat myself and others better (…) You only live once and I now know the importance of treasuring what I have.”
