Anthony Wong
Actor, director, screenwriter
Anthony Wong Chau-sang (born Anthony William Perry; 2 September 1961), known professionally as Anthony Wong, is a Hong Kong actor who is perhaps best known in the West for his roles in the 1992 action film Hard Boiled, the 2002 critically acclaimed Infernal Affairs and as General Yang in the 2008 Hollywood film The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Anthony Perry was born on 2 September 1961 to a Hong Kong ethnic-Chinese mother Wong Juen Yee, whose surname Wong adopted as part of his current name, Anthony Wong and English-born Frederick William Perry (1914-1988), who served with the RAF during World War II and later as colonial officer. His father walked out on the family when he was four, that during his first year in Hong Kong, he lived with his mother "in the staircase of a pre-war building in Wan Chai" until he was sent to live with various relatives for two years while his mother "held down three jobs". In his acting career, Wong's established a reputation for openly critiquing the Hong Kong film industry and its practices, actors' performances and pop culture in interviews and his personal microblog. In some of those critiques, he's revealed his experiences of being bullied and discriminated against—for being a "mixed race foreigner" and "during the 1960s, English-Chinese mixed-race people like me were regarded as bastards", and for being born outside Hong Kong—while growing up in Hong Kong and during the early years of his acting career. During his late teens, Wong moved to Britain to attend a college of further education. He returned to Hong Kong to attend a training course in hairdressing until he quit to join ATV's training programme when he was 21. Wong is married to Jane Ng Wai Zing in 1996 and has two sons, Wong Yat Yat (born 1996) and Ulysses Wong (born 1998). Wong is taking care of his mother who now has dementia, while his sons now live outside of Hong Kong. In a 2005 interview with Star eCentral, Wong stated that amongst his prolific output during the 1980s and the 1990s, a considerable number of films he appeared in were poor and exploitative. He, however, has no regrets because he needed the money to support his wife, their sons and his mother. In March 2018, Wong reunited with his half-brothers, twins John William and David Frederick Perry, after a BBC story on Wong's search for his family was published. His father died in 1988 in Australia, where he and his first family settled after they left Hong Kong. In June 2018, it was later revealed that he had a illegitimate son named William (born 1998), with a woman known only as "Joyce" who was the niece of veteran actor and producer John Shum.
