Andy Lau made a surprise appearance as a celebrity guardian at the McDonald's Kidathon yesterday (April 18), sparking cheers from the crowd. He joined charity ambassador Keung To on stage to support the cause. The two chatted casually and even spontaneously sang two lines of Angel Without Wings a cappella, much to the delight of fans.
Andy Lau revealed that the last time he participated in this parent-child charity event was in 2012, "It's been 14 years. I've always kept an eye on it, but I couldn't make time to support it due to other work commitments. This time, I happen to be in Hong Kong, and it's also the event's 30th anniversary. I'm really happy to be able to participate again."
Lau also shared a funny moment from filming the remake MV of Angel Without Wings with Keung To, "While I was playing with the children on set, I accidentally fell to the ground. But the kids were so well-behaved—they all pretended not to see it. I got up in just a second or two. I wasn't hurt, so I just acted as if nothing had happened." When asked whether Keung To felt shy working with him, Andy laughed and said, "Actually, I was the shy one. I haven't been out much lately—I felt like a newcomer."
As for future plans, he revealed that he is hoping to hold a solo concert this year and has already submitted an application for dates at the Hong Kong Coliseum. He expects to know the result within one to two months. He said that if it works out, the show will feature an entirely new production. He jokingly asked reporters to help promote his request, hoping the authorities will approve the dates. When asked whether he would invite Keung To as a guest, he replied, "It depends on whether he's willing." When asked if they would collaborate on a new song, he said, "I'll think about it." As for why he didn't apply for the Kai Tak Main Stadium instead, he laughed and said there's plenty of time for that, adding that he has a special connection to the Coliseum.
Speaking to the many children at the event, Andy mentioned that his daughter is already 14 years old. When asked whether his daughter is dating, he described himself as an "old-fashioned" father, saying he does not allow dating before the age of 18.
