Edison Chen Koon-hei (Chinese: 陳冠希, born Chen Hing-wah on 7 October 1980) is a Canadian-born Hong Kong actor, singer, rapper, fashion designer and entrepreneur.[1] In 1999, at the age of 19, Chen was scouted to shoot a credit card commercial with Leon Lai. He made his debut in the music industry in 2000 and starred in films such as Infernal Affairs (2002) and Initial D (2005). In 2008, he withdrew from the entertainment industry “indefinitely” following a sex photo scandal,[2][3] but made a comeback in 2010.
