TVB actor, Jack Hui (許家傑), started getting noticed after portraying “Water Fai” (送水輝) in “Come Home Love – Lo and Behold” (愛‧回家之開心速遞). He has been in the industry for 10 years, but it wasn’t an easy path. He was on a radio show recently and talked about his experiences in the entertainment industry, including the old rumors accusing him of being the third party between Katy Tung (龔嘉欣) and Patrick Tang’s (鄧健泓) relationship.

Jack Hui joined the Mr. Hong Kong competition in 2009 and won first place. He signed with TVB shortly after. However, he recounts the first 2-3 years, he was given roles with very few or no lines at all. He also started to have financial trouble due to the lack of jobs. He said, “There was a time I couldn’t give money to my family. There were a few months where I only got paid a few thousand dollars. There was even a time where I had to borrow money to survive.” Luckily, he didn’t give up and started to take singing and acting lessons. He finally got the opportunity when he was cast as “Water Fai” in “Come Home Love” and started getting recognized.

He expressed, “At the time, I explained it very clearly, but everyone still thought it was me. I’ll say it once again. I didn’t [come between them]. I was scared at the time because I didn’t do it so why was I being talked about as if it was true? I’ve learned how to be cautious with my words and not get attacked.”
