HONG KONG: Legendary Chinese martial arts actor and acclaimed Hong Kong director Sammo Hung was admitted into hospital a week ago for heart surgery.
The star reportedly felt unwell while filming “Ip Man 2”, the sequel to the semi-biographical kungfu film on the celebrated martial arts master of Bruce Lee, in the Guangdong province of Foshan on August 5.
He returned to Hong Kong ahead of schedule for an emergency admission to hospital for an operation.
The 57 year-old actor was discharged after a few days and has since returned to work.
Hung revealed that his heart has been in a less-than-ideal condition due to long filming hours and frequent overtime work resulting in fatigue and irregular meals. His love for cigars also contributed to his ailing health.
Moreover, at his height of 1.72 metres, he is tipping the scales at 111 kilograms which makes him morbidly obese.
Although not in the pink of health yet, Hung told Hong Kong reporters that his condition has since stabilised.
“Everything is back to normal even though my weight has become a health issue, causing heart problems. I am now back at work and I would like to thank everyone for their concern,” said Hung.
