Lau Ching Wan yesterday attended an adidas new product event and received a set of couple running shoes. Ching Wan said that he had an exercise habit as he and wife Amy Kwok Oi Ming would run or talk walks. Did they constantly have autograph seekers? He humorously replied, "Not for autographs, they would take photos with their phones. Thus the running posture has to be cooler, I can't be out of breath."

Ching Wan said that now Hong Kongers love to exercise. He has seen people running in leather shoes and jeans. Life in the city was very tense and exercise could relieve stress. He said that sometimes pressure was inevitable on movie productions. When he was upset or unhappy he would not drink. The best way was to exercise or read newspaper to avoid it. Would he consider making more comedy to reduce stress? He joked that the pressure of making a comedy was even greater, because if he could not make viewers laugh he failed.

Ching Wan revealed that today he would head to Thailand to continue work on the police film SO DUK (DRUG SWEEP) with Louis Koo Tin Lok and Nick Cheung Ka Fai. He will have action scenes. "Goo Jai and Ka Fai would go swimming or sunbathing when they don't have to work. They are very healthy." Nominated for Hong Kong Film Award Best Actor with THE BULLET VANISHES (SIU SUT DIK JI DAN), Ching Wan said that now he would cherish the opportunity as nothing was certain. Winning the award was not a decision for him to make. Who was his favorite? Ching Wan joked, "I heard it won't be me, it will be someone with the last name Leung or the name Ka Fai. He may not have to be (Tony) Leung Ka Fai, as we still have (Tony) Leung Chiu Wai and Cheung Ka Fai." Reportedly Nicholas Tse Ting Fung was not nominated because of him. Ching Wan denied the rumor. "Don't say that, Ting Fung's performance is very outstanding. I have to clarify, it's not my fault."
