His debut single Liu Lian may have been a homonym for durian in Chinese, but how does Fei Xiang feel about the king of fruits?
"But I loved durian from the first time I tasted it, and I actually still love it," the 62-year-old confessed. "It was ironic that the title song of my debut album, which was so helpful to me as it was so successful, actually sounded like the name of the fruit in Chinese.As he was only in Singapore for two days and wanted to be "kind" to other passengers on his flight, Fei Xiang won't have an opportunity to eat durians this time around.
"I just love the taste, and I love that it reminds me of my childhood in Taiwan," he said. "When I grew up in Taipei, they had shaved ice treats and I grew up eating them."Despite visiting Singapore often, Fei Xiang doesn't feel a need to give interviews or go on local TV unless he has work to promote.
Fei Xiang's comeback for the movie has critics telling people to "hide their mothers" after seeing his bod in a few shirtless scenes in the movie, but Fei Xiang thinks it should be "hide your grandma" at his age.
