“Now when I’m nominated, I feel more gratitude. It’s comforting to know that audiences still remember me,” he gushed, adding that awards feel more like a reminder at this stage of his career.
“A reminder that the audience is still watching you, so you cannot slack off, because the results will show.”
On Xie choosing not to participate in the Star Awards – his first since returning to showbiz after 20 years – Chen said he respects his pal’s decision.
Xie actually held the record of five wins at Star Awards for 15 years until Chen broke it in 2019.
