TAIPEI (TVBS News) — Acclaimed Taiwanese actor Liu Kuan-ting (劉冠廷), who previously won the prestigious Golden Horse Award, Taiwan's equivalent of the Oscars, made an appearance Friday (May 9) at the grand opening of LaLaport Vieshow Cinemas (威秀影城). During the event, Liu candidly revealed that cinema outings have become an exceptional treat since embracing fatherhood. He recounted that his most recent movie experience with his wife, actress Sun Ke-Fang (孫可芳), occurred only after securing childcare assistance to watch "Mickey 17."
The actor described his modest Mother's Day gesture, presenting Sun with a thoughtful gift and expressing appreciation for her parenting efforts, though the celebration remained low-key. Liu spoke warmly about embracing his new domestic reality, having significantly modified his professional commitments to prioritize family time. Despite rising at the exceptionally early hour of 3 a.m. to prepare for the cinema opening, Liu expressed enthusiasm about gradually resuming his career, noting with visible relief that his infant son has finally established consistent sleeping patterns.
While maintaining a reduced professional schedule, Liu expressed particular excitement regarding his forthcoming thriller "Behind the Shadows" (私家偵探), in which he appears alongside Hong Kong cinema stalwart Louis Koo Tin Lok (古天樂). With evident admiration, Liu recounted how Koo remained on set after scheduled filming hours to practice their scenes together, an experience that left a profound impression on the Taiwanese actor. As Liu cautiously returns to his acting career, audiences will soon have the opportunity to witness this cross-strait cinematic partnership on the big screen. ★
