Prioritizing handsome image, Raymond Lam fails to cooperate





After receiving the Jade Solid Golid “Golden Melody Gold Award” for his song, Chok, in early January, Raymond Lam became the object of severe criticism. Despite this, Raymond remained the #1 Brother at TVB. In his new series, Fight Crime, Raymond will sport an unshaven appearance to fit his rough cop role.


Despite growing a beard for two weeks, Raymond only had a bit of facial hair growth above his upper lip. In addition, Raymond had to exercise at the gym daily to a achieve a better body for his role in Fight Crime. Last week, while filming in an outdoor scene, Fight Crime producer, Lam Chi Wah, who requested that more hair growth was necessitated. However, Raymond replied, “I’m afraid it would get dirty!” Producer Lam immediately let the issue go, “Then that’s okay!” Afterward, Raymond revealed, “The producer asked me to grow out my beard longer, but the facial hair on the sides of my jaw are not dense! I can’t help it!”


In Fight Crime, Michael Miu will portray the main villain. The female lead will be Elaine Ng . Kate Tsui and Ella Koon will fight over Raymond’s love. The cast was appealing and the production may even turn out to be this year’s Anniversary series! Ella will portray Raymond Lam’s subordinate; the pair will be involved in a romantic arc. To fit her policewoman role, Ella wore neutral makeup, risking the possibility that she may appear tired in the HD footage.


Chok Idol Image Mesmerizes Millions


Since 32-year-old Raymond Lam entered the entertainment industry, he has always possessed a handsome, idol image in series such as Moonlight Resonance and Men With No Shadows. In each drama, Raymond retained his handsome, well-kept image. It was not until Fight Crime in which Raymond was requested to grow a beard in order to fit his rough character. For Raymond, this may be considered a breakthrough.


Actors Prioritize Handsome Looks and Fail to Cooperate


Many actors were eager to look their best onscreem. When asked to risk their handsome images, many actors wavered. Aside from Raymond refusing to grow a full beard, the below actors put their looks first and did not comply with the directors’ requests:


Leon Lai

Andy Lau


Famous for cooperating with any filming requirements, Andy Lau however refused to shave his head bald in 2006 film, The Warlords. Andy told Director Peter Chan that given the context that the characters were tangled in war, there should be no time to shave their heads. Finally, Andy sported a skinhead look in his role.
