Steven Ma Refutes Claim That A Late Fan Left Him S$17.4Mil In Their Will
Would you idolise someone so much to do that?
Now here’s a rumour that came out of left field. According to a news report, Hongkong actor Steven Ma is now HKD$100mil (S$17.4mil) richer because of a fan.
The report claimed that a late fan had left Steven that amount in their last will and testament, with just one condition — the 49-year-old actor must either use that money for charity or to develop the art scene.
Steven initially ignored the report at first, and netizens took his silence as a tacit acknowledgement of the rumour. So, on August 16, the actor took to his social media to deny it.
Posting a picture of him in front of his computer screen, which was showing the report, Steven denied the news and even replied to a follower's comment: “ If it’s true, of course I’d be very happy to donate it to charity. But it’s a pity that it’s fake, [and the report] even claimed that someone had died, how immoral!”.
Steven took over TVB’s artiste training department earlier this year, overseeing the coaching of new actors.
In another interview, Steven, who’s currently teaching a class of 26 aspiring actors, said he hopes for his protégés to be morally upright.
