Hong Kong singer-actor Jacky Cheung may be 62, but the Heavenly King plays an action hero in his 40s in the new movie Customs Frontline.
The director shared that Cheung’s Customs officer character is supposed to be 45 years old. Given that Customs Frontline was shot from March to June 2022, the leading man was a few months shy of 61 at the time. Yau added: “Actually, Jacky’s action scenes can be very good. He is not the sort who goes one, two, three, fight. But he has a lot of experience with action films, and he is very humble.”
Customs Frontline also marks the Hong Kong actor-singer’s first foray into action choreography. Despite Tse’s lack of experience in the field, Yau had no concerns about him being the film’s action choreographer, given that he has appeared in action movies such as New Police Story and Raging Fire .
