Andy Lau's ties with Chu may soon be revealed
HONG KONG actor Andy Lau and his Malaysian girlfriend Carol Chu rushed back to Malaysia from Hong Kong following the death of Chu's father, all Chinese dailies reported yesterday.
Chu's father, 73, collapsed on Monday afternoon and was rushed to a private medical centre in Subang.
He underwent a five-hour surgery to remove a blood clot but died at 9pm on Tuesday.
Sin Chew Daily said the status of Lau's relationship with Chu would be revealed during the funeral where it would be known whether he might take on the role of son-in-law for the ceremonies.
Lau has always remained mum on the status of his relationship with Chu and has never even admitted his relationship with her in public.
However, their 24-year relationship is not a secret in the entertainment circle.
One version is that they registered their marriage in Canada back in 1992 and they have a daughter. On top of that, a former minister had also disclosed that they had registered their marriage in Malaysia.
Focus at the funeral will now be centred on whether they are a married couple or merely lovers.
China Press reported that the Chu family was tight-lipped on the funeral details. The main gate of the house in Bukit Jalil remained closed all the time.
Media personnel stationed at the area were first told to leave and then later issued a warning.
The wake is being held at the house and the funeral is scheduled for tomorrow.
