‘I never thought the day would come’: Netizens reminisce over Tony Leung and Faye Wong’s reunion

Nearly two decades after their last movie together, Hong Kong veteran actor Tony Leung and Chinese diva Faye Wong have reunited.

Tony’s wife, actress Carina Lau, uploaded a photo of the duo today (Oct 25) in a joint Instagram post with Tony.

The iconic reunion comes 19 years after 2046, the 2004 film Tony and Faye starred in together.

“Long time no see,” wrote Carina with a heart emoji.

The pair could be seen standing close together, with Faye, 54, leaning her head towards Tony, 61.

Tony, as usual, had a slightly awkward smile.

Besides 2046, Tony and Faye also co-starred in the 1994 hit film Chungking Express and 2002 movie Chinese Odyssey 2002.

Netizens in the comment section reminisced about the past, with many bringing up Chungking Express where the pair played onscreen lovers.

“Chungking Express couple pairing… I looped the movie so many times because of you two” said one netizen.

“I never thought the day would come when I could see the two of you together!” commented another.

Another pleaded: “Please post more videos and photos. It’s been a long time since I saw Faye.”

Others remarked how Faye looked like she hasn’t aged and that the two are “still elegant and charming.”
