Anyone else cringe in horror while looking back at old photos of themselves? Well, we’re wondering how these artistes are feeling now.
Recently, Hongkong’s Asia Television (ATV) released a bunch of old photos from its 1999 calendar shoot featuring some of its biggest stars at that time. Like its one-time rival TVB, ATV had its own stable of contracted actors over the years, including late cinema legend Leslie Cheung, late comedy icon Lydia Sum, Gallen Lo, and Hawick Lau, many of whom have since moved on to TVB. ATV ceased its free-to-air broadcast in 2016 and was later revived as an over-the-top (OTT) media platform.
Anyway, that’s it for the brief history lesson. The 21-year-old pictures were shared by ATV itself on its official Facebook page, and they definitely make us feel nostalgic, to say the least.
