Edison Chen loses cool at airport

HONG KONG: Hong Kong actor Edison Chen is known for his wry smile and cool demeanor.

However, he was anything but cool when he found a swarm of reporters waiting for him at the airport in Hong Kong, reported Hong Kong media.

Chen was accosted by reporters at the airport, when he returned to Hong Kong on Sunday from a trip to Shanghai.



The gathered reporters questioned him about his involvement in the rumoured split between Hong Kong celebrity couple Nicholas Tse and Cecilia Cheung, but he simply pointed to the earphones he was wearing and said, "Can't hear!".

Then things got ugly.

One of the reporters bumped into Chen.

Chen became visibly upset and began berating the reporter.

"Hey! Why are you like this!" said Chen angrily.

Although the reporter apologized to Chen, the 30-year-old star continued to rail at the reporter over the incident.

"If I punch you, can we forget about it by just saying 'sorry'?

"[If] I bump into you, you can write about it for five days.

"You bump into me, it's like nothing happened!" complained Chen before storming off and heading back to his hotel.

Chen has been under media scrutiny since he admitted that he had been friendly with old flame Cheung when they met at an airport in May.

His meeting with Cheung was reported on by many Hong Kong tabloids and is rumoured to be one of the contributing causes of the alleged split between Cheung and Tse.

Neither Cheung nor her husband has stepped up to clarify the matter, even as speculation over the state of their relationship continues to increase with each passing day.
