Shirley Yeung: No Marriage Plans Yet


Shirley Yeung is happily in love, but marriage is still not on the cards for Hong Kong actress Shirley Yeung, 31. Reports have romantically linked the bubbly, sweet-looking actress with ex-child actor Gregory Lee since 2004.

She told The New Paper: "I feel very comfortable about it. I am dating, and I don't want to hide it. Also, I think dating doesn't affect my work, and is separate from it. I'm very focused on my work. Anyway, I'm happy that audiences accept it [that I'm dating]."

However, she has no plans to get married. She explained: "I think society is more accepting of people who marry later."Although she remains coy about future plans, she waxed lyrical about her relationship: "We can support and comfort each other, when one of us is unhappy or frustrated."

Last month, Shirley was spotted having supper with Gregory around midnight in a dessert shop in Kowloon. Perhaps she shared with him her experience on the set of "The Silver Chamber of Sorrows", where she plays a kind-hearted servant girl who is later discovered to have a special connection to the family.

In particular, Shirley had to film a scene on a set with about 100 frogs, "some real, some fake". The actress, who has a phobia of frogs, said: "After completing those scenes, my voice was hoarse from screaming. My reaction was genuine." She added that she even wore extra layers under her clothing "to create more of a barrier" from the frogs.

"When I was little, my mother took me to a wet market. There, a man was slaughtering some frogs and the blood splashed onto me."
