Shaun Tam (譚俊彥) was the big winner of the night at the 2021 TVB Anniversary Awards Show (萬千星輝頒獎典禮2021) , which took place on January 2, 2022. This was Shaun Tam’s fifth time being nominated for “Best Actor”. He was up against Ruco Chan, Kenneth Ma, Kevin Cheng, and Owen Cheung. Not only did he get Malaysia’s “Favorite TVB actor” and TVB’s “Best Actor in a Leading Role” for “Take Two” (換命真相), he was also awarded “Best Dressed Male Artist” by the media present at the show.

The night was especially memorable for Shaun Tam as he revealed in a post-ceremony interview that it was his also his marriage anniversary. Shaun Tam and his wife, Yann Ren (任祉妍), got married in 2015, and they have two children. He expressed gratitude to his wife and said he wouldn’t have gotten the award without her.

No one was prouder than Shaun Tam’s parents who were present in the audience. While Shaun Tam’s mother proudly showed off her excitement, his father and renowned actor, Ti Lung (狄龍), remained very calm. Shaun Tam apologized to his mom for not calling her often these past few years and gave the explanation that the Tam men all keep their emotions bottled inside.

Shaun Tam joined TVB in 2016 and was once called “Ratings Poison” as his earlier series were poorly received in viewership. Shaun Tam already got leading roles in prominent series once he joined TVB. In a radio show from 2020, Shaun Tam revealed that he hated being called “second generation celebrity” or “Ti Lung’s son”. As people thought he got these opportunities because of his father, there was a period of time Shaun Tam didn’t even want to take pictures with Ti Lung.

Shaun Tam gained some fame this year when netizens noticed he looked very similar to Lee Jung-jae from “Squid Game”.
