Veteran Hong Kong actor-singer Andy Lau has apologized for lying about his marriage.
Lau denied that he was married in an interview with Hong Kong's Cable TV in February, but Hong Kong journalists last week discovered marriage records from the Clark County Recorder's Office in Nevada that the 47-year-old star had wed Malaysian girlfriend Carol Chu in June 2008. Lau confirmed the nuptials in a brief message on his Web site late Saturday, saying he did not announce the marriage because he wanted to shield Chu from the press.
Critics say Lau lied about his marriage to protect his image as an idol. One of Asia's biggest celebrities, the star of "Infernal Affairs" and "House of Flying Daggers" has appeared in more than 100 movies since his debut in 1982. Dubbed one of Chinese pop's "Four Heavenly Kings" in the 1990s, he also enjoys a successful recording career.
