Simon Yam is questioned by his daughter: does he love Qi Qi or Sandra more?

Newly crowned HKFA Best Actor Simon Yam and wife Qi Qi attended the opening ceremony for Dunhill in Central the day before yesterday. Asked about his feelings toward winning at HKFA, Simon admits that it is hard to hide his happiness. Smiling, he said that earlier, his daughter saw in the newspapers the pictures of him kissing his ‘on-screen wife’ Sandra Ng on the lips but only kissing his real-life wife Qi Qi on the cheek, so she asked him whether he liked Sandra more or Mommy more. Simon laughed and said: “My daughter is very innocent and sweet. I explained to her that in the movie, I love Sandra, however in real life of course I love Qi Qi the most.”

Simon indicated that he is definitely thankful to his ‘on-screen wife’ Sandra, so he has already bought a camcorder to give to her as a present. Asked about Best Actress Kara Hui wanting to collaborate with him in Alex Law’s new film, Simon replied that he hopes to be able to work with both Kara and Sandra together in the new film. With his recent win, Simon was also asked whether he will be charging ‘Best Actor rates’ now, to which he responded: “[The win] has nothing to do with it. The price will not change – the most important thing is to have a good director and a good script.” His wife Qi Qi expressed that Simon’s feelings have changed, but his way of life has not.

In addition, Qi Qi revealed that on the night he won the award, they were so happy that when they got home, they barely slept and talked until morning instead. She said that their daughter personally made a book for her Daddy and gave it to him as a gift for winning the award, which made Simon extremely happy. She says: “I was actually planning on taking everyone out and having a pool party to celebrate, however since Simon is very low-key, he wanted to go to the local café and have some pineapple buns instead.”
