Award-winning actress Maggie Cheung once collaborated with actor Tony Leung (Tony) in the Hong Kong drama "Police Cadet," and in 2000 they worked together again in the film "In the Mood for Love." The two were rumored to be involved romantically but ultimately did not end up together. Recently, Wong Jing rarely mentioned the real reason behind this.
Wong Jing also revealed on his personal Youtube channel that the real reason why Maggie Cheung has chosen to remain unmarried and childless till now "has nothing to do with Tony Leung." Wong Jing said: "Maggie Cheung has gone through many emotional setbacks and has learned to return to herself, but she is no longer as happy as she used to be. However, she has become better at taking care of herself."
Tony was once asked, if he could turn back time, what period he would most like to return to? He quickly answered: "The time when I was 38, filming 'In the Mood for Love'." Maggie Cheung has also said that working with Tony was great—they could enter their best acting state without any preparation. However, in 2008 Tony Leung chose to marry Carina Lau in Bhutan.
Why didn’t Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung end up together? Carina Lau once directly addressed the question and hinted that she herself was not the main reason. Carina Lau said: "Their personalities really aren't compatible." Both Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung are introverted and quiet, while Carina Lau is outgoing—making her the perfect complement to him.
