The host teased her, “Are you expecting…” and continued with “anything from this production?” after a long pause, in which the actress quipped, “I’m having a… slight discomfort right now”.
Mickey asked Shu Qi once more, point blank, “Are you expecting?” which might have sent the actress panicking and repeating her first answer thrice.
The host eventually resorted to probing the 40 year-old’s co-star, Chang Shaio-Hwei, in hopes of getting a clear answer but was disappointed yet again when he said, “It’s not convenient for me to talk about this”.
Chang Shaio-Hwei then swiftly changed his answer to “I don’t know” when he was asked repeatedly about Shu Qi’s pregnancy.
Shu Qi did not answer any more questions regarding her personal life during the interview after her friendly banter with Mickey, but clarified that she was “not pregnant”.
