Vivian Hsu gives up toilet breaks to care for son



Earlier this week, Vivian Hsu shared that she went for three days without sleep as her son, Dalton, was down with a nasty bug.

She let on that he had a persistent high fever, cough, throat inflammation and runny nose and that she was heartbroken seeing her usually bubbly son battle against his sickness.

In a video update on her Facebook page yesterday, netizens were heartened to see that Dalton looks much better and is back on his feet.

The video, which starts off with Dalton trying to open a locked door, has the little boy trying his best to get into the restroom where his mother is having a toilet break.

While inside, she tells him, “Hold on, mummy is in the restroom!” Dalton, however, persists in trying to get to his mother and was only appeased when Vivian emerged from behind the door and picked him up from the floor and kissed him. Sam Claflin has been cast in 'Semper Fi'.

The 'Hunger Games: Catching Fire' actor will star in the new crime thriller by 'Murderball' writer and director Henry-Alex Rubin with David Lancaster of Rumble Films and Karina Miller from Sparkhouse Media producing.

Speaking to Variety, Miller said: "I couldn't be more excited about 'Semper Fi'. At its core, it's about what it means to truly stand by the people you love. It's thrilling and entertaining but also emotional.

"In a market where it's a struggle to get people to leave their house and actually go see a movie we plan to make a film that will do just that - get people to the theatre, entertain them and make them feel something."

Producer Lancaster said he couldn't "shake the passionate feeling" he had for Rubin's ability to draw realistic characters. He added: "From the moment I read this script, I couldn't shake the passionate feeling I have always had for the iconic film 'Deerhunter'.

"Henry has shown a unique ability to draw realistic characters combined with a strong sense of place. Brotherhood, loyalty, family ... with a thrilling escape. I'm in!"

The 30-year-old actor will star as Hopper, a straight-laced police officer who spends his downtime as a sergeant in the Marine Corps Reservists with some close friends, keeping an eye on his young brother Oyster.

When Oyster accidentally kills a man in a bar-room fight, Hopper stops him fleeing and makes him turn himself in. However, after returning from serving in Iraq, Hopper learns his friends are trying to break Oyster out of jail. Claflin, who also starred in 'Me Before You', will be seen next in 'The Nightingale' and 'My Cousin Rachel'. 'Semper Fi' is due to start production in Vancouver this summer.
