Wu Chun admits he has two "children"

Wu Chun

Fans, don’t be mistaken. The Bruneian heartthrob was referring to his businesses

Actor Wu Chun made his first appearance in Taiwan a few days ago, ever since rumours of him being married with a daughter circulated.

The actor seemed well-prepared when facing the media and later stunned many when he boldly admitted, "Yes, it's true. I already have two children."

After surprising both his fans and the media, Wu Chun explained, "I was talking about my two gyms!"

The actor runs a fitness business back in Brunei, his hometown.

Wu Chun also let on that he has commissioned a lawyer to take legal action against the magazine which defamed him.

The actor confessed that rumour about his marriage had been circulating for the past few years, and he did not wish to clarify on it anymore.

"I don't feel anything when I read the reports. I don't even want to explain anymore because even if I do, people are still going to write about it," he said.

When asked if he would publicly announce his wedding, the actor looked troubled, saying that "it's hard to say". The decision would depend on the timing of the event and the willingness of his partner.

However, Wu Chun added that it was difficult to have a relationship after having a career in showbiz because he does not have time to accompany his partner.

The actor clarified that he is currently single. When reporters probed Wu Chun on how he was able to remain single, he wittily replied, "You don't have to know!"
