Him Law has been said to be involved in a male artist sex photo scandal. According to the rumor, in 2003 when he was still working as a lifeguard, Him knew a man involved in sexual harassment and criminal intimidation cases (Lau Ting Sing). The report said Him heard Lau could help him get into the entertainment circle and even if he knew Lau likes men, he still didn't mind accompanying him everywhere. He also thought of him as a godfather. In between, he was even willing to shoot nude photos for his godfather and earn HK$60,000. Yesterday Him was back at TVB City to shoot a new series and stressed he does not know Lau nor has he ever done a nude photo shoot. He claimed back then when he was a lifeguard, he had a slim body, and it was impossible that Lau considered him. It is also impossible that he attended his dinner parties.
Him said: "It is not about the sexual orientation, it is I won't go to such dinner parties. As for me being a lifeguard before and how I entered the industry, I have mentioned it in several of my past interviews. It is public knowledge." As to the HK$60,000 reward for shooting nude photos? He expressed he definitely will not do such thing, and stressed over the last so many years he had only depended on his hard work to earn money. Innocently drawn into a sex photo scandal, does he feel really innocent? Him believes this is the nature of being an actor, so he cannot say he's innocent. He helpless said: "When no one knew me, I wanted news, but now that people know me, I have no power to choose my news." Him stressed he has never done nude photos before and the police did not contact him.
Matthew Ko is currently on break from a leg injury. When he learned he was drawn into the sex photo scandal by a magazine report, he denied he had ever taken nude photos. He also does not know Lau Ting Sing. He said when he was in Mr. Hong Kong, he didn't even have the courage to take off his shirt, so how can he take nude photos?! Even if someone contacted him for a job, he would meet them with his manager. He would never go to the meeting alone.
TVB executive Virgina Lok said she has not paid attention to the male artist sex photo scandal, but it is impossible that the case involves Him Law, Benjamin Yuen or Matthew Ko. They all have managers and are developing their careers well. No matter what job it is, TVB management will handle it. Why would they be so silly and go take nude photos? Virgina also urges youngsters who have an ambition to enter the industry, TVB gives several different opportunities to do. TVB has an Acting Training Class; If a pretty girl, then can go participate in Miss Hong Kong; If like to sing, then can participate in the singing competitions. These are the proper ways to enter the entertainment circle. Don't just believe what those so-called 'star recruiters' say on the streets, that they can help you get into showbiz. Even if there are star recruiters, then should ask a family member or friend to accompany you to avoid being fooled.
