We so were not expecting this. Carina Lau set IG ablaze this afternoon (Oct 25) when she posted a photo of her husband Tony Leung with — wait for this — Faye Wong.
Her caption? A succinct and apt “Long time no see”.
If there’s anyone more low-key than Tony, it’s the enigmatic Faye.
The last time the 54-year-old pop diva was photographed in public was in April, when she was seen, um, roughing it out with other travellers on a crowded airport shuttle in China. Hardly glamorous stuff.
Faye is one of Carina’s closest pals and longtime mahjong kaki. Stories of their mahjong sessions are part of pop culture folklore, with Carina, 57, once saying in an interview that she can easily tell when Faye has a good or bad hand.
Tony, 61, and Faye have starred in three movies together: Chungking Express (1994), Chinese Odyssey 2002, and 2046 (2004).
Their pairing in Chungking Express — he as a lovesick beat cop, and she, a quirky snack bar worker — one of the most iconic in Asian cinema.
Fans, of course, took to comments section to rave about the meetup and share screengrabs of the stars in Chungking Express.
“I wanna cry. Eating chef’s salad and fish and chips to celebrate,” read one comment, an obvious reference to the items Tony’s character Cop 663 orders from Faye’s snack bar.
There were also references to ‘California Dreamin”, the Mama and the Papas song that Faye’s character listened to repeatedly in the movie.
Most netizens were excited to see Faye on Instagram, with a number of comments praising her for looking as gorgeous as ever.
We don’t know about you, but we’re definitely rewatching Chungking Express after this.
