The 60-year-old was a guest on Hong Kong actress-host Carol Cheng's YouTube talk show The Do Show, where she asked him how he lost the chance to study in Canada. When Carol, 67, said that a movie character who contracted tuberculosis often had a tragic ending, Sean completed her sentence by adding: "They would usually vomit blood.""I was around 15 or 16 years old then… In fact, after I was diagnosed, I didn't think I had a lung disease. I played football after school until I was exhausted. I didn't feel out of breath or cough, let alone vomit blood," Sean shared.
He participated in TVB's acting classes in 1983, when he was 17, and made his showbiz debut in 1984 in the drama Draw Out the Rainbow.
