Wallace Huo defends Ruby Lin

Taiwanese actor Wallace Huo and wife, Taiwanese actress Ruby Lin, have been making headlines since the announcement of their relationship this May. Within five months, they had tied the knot and are expecting their first child together. The onscreen couple, who have been good friends for 10 years, also received many blessings from fans and the media.

However, Ruby, who is currently six months pregnant, was recently flamed relentlessly on the Internet by online trolls, accusing her of “forcing [Wallace] into marriage and pretending to be a saint”.

Although the 40-year-old actress has responded that she was unaffected and had gotten used to the flaming by her haters, Wallace could not help but jump to his wife’s defence by urging the media and public at the press conference of his latest movie, Hide and Seek, to “not be bothered with them (the haters)”.

During the press conference, Wallace also revealed that he faced difficulties filming seven days of continuous fight scenes with co-star Chinese actresses Qin Hailu, which he admitted was “too scary”. The 37-year-old actor eventually asked for a day off to rest due to physical exhaustion.

On the other hand, Hailu felt that it was rather thrilling to play her role of a mentally ill woman, which was different from her past characters.

Hide and Seek opens in theatres November 4.
