Hong Kong Best Actor Tony Leung Chiu-wai attended the US promotion for his new film "Silent Friend," and on the 10th, he surprised everyone by being photographed with Oscar-winning actor Robert De Niro. The two internationally acclaimed actors' historic encounter caused quite a stir. Carina Lau posted a photo online of the two together and revealed that they had actually met 26 years ago, and were fortunate enough to be reunited after so many years—a truly rare opportunity. You can see that Robert De Niro now bears the marks of time, his once black hair now fully white, but still retaining his charisma. In contrast, Tony Leung, while exuding an even more mature masculine charm, looks almost unchanged, truly ageless.
Robert De Niro won the Oscar and the Golden Globe for Best Actor for the film "Raging Bull." Apart from sweeping up Best Actor awards across Asia, Tony Leung also won Best Actor at Cannes for "In the Mood for Love" and received the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the 2023 Venice Film Festival. This meeting of titans is a powerful moment loaded with significance.
