When taking their photograph together, Andy and Kong jokeed with each other as if they're old friends. Kong told the reporters after the photograph is taken: "Everybody really put in their effort, now you get what you've wished? We've similar looks? It's just the nose, eyes, mouth and ear! I ask him not to mind, I hope people won't talk about it again, not known if Andy fans is feeling bad about this, anyway it's best to be yourself!"

When asked if his wife told him that he look alike to Andy, Kong said: "Yes, my daughter almost mistaken him as me, she once saw Andy on TV and ask why that person look like daddy, later I explained to her and found out that she knew Andy before that! There was once I picked my daughter after school, she pointed at a bus commercial and said that it's me. It was actually Andy after I took a look, she then told me that we look really alike in certain angles." Kong praised Andy has mega star charisma.

Meanwhile Andy exclaimed that Kwong had personal charisma, he said: "I watch his shows before, he's great!"

(Anyway, I thought the news was pretty cute. Two of my favorite actors related!!!! )
