Huang Xiaoming Loves Giving Princess Hugs to Angelababy
With the success of his currently airing television drama, Cruel Romance <錦繡緣·華麗冒險>, mainland Chinese actor Huang Xiaoming (黃曉明) has again captured viewers’ hearts with his portrayal of the overbearing and stoic businessman, Zuo Zhen. In a recent interview, Xiaoming spoke about his character in the drama, his relationship with girlfriend Angelababy (楊穎), and the location of his upcoming wedding.
Wants to Enjoy the Little Things in Life
Though Huang Xiaoming has focused mainly on his movie career in recent years, Cruel Romance came to his attention when his production company’s employees came across the screenplay and recommended it to him. After reading through the script, he too came to appreciate the male lead, who, despite being an influential and respected businessman, is not above performing common, little tasks for his lover.
“Before I became famous, the thing I liked doing most was crouching on the street and eating meat sticks, especially lamb sticks,” recalled Xiaoming. “But now I can’t do that anymore because I’m afraid people will crowd around me.”
Xiaoming added that one of the most enjoyable “little things” in life is donning a hat and glasses and going to the supermarket with Angelababy. “I also really like buying food from the street stalls,” he said. “That is the feeling of life, the feeling of returning to the time before I was famous.”
Likes Giving Princess Hugs to Angelababy
Since Xiaoming is one of the investors backing Cruel Romance, some might have expected him to cast his girlfriend as the leading lady. Xiaoming admitted that although they had sought out Angelababy for the role and she was interested in filming a drama with him, Taiwanese actress Joe Chen (陳喬恩) had by then already agreed to play the part.
“I told Baby that I had a good relationship with Joe, and that I felt she was very suited for the role,” he shared. “There have always been directors looking for [Angelababy and I] to act together, but we haven’t found a suitable screenplay yet.”
When asked if he and Angelababy have reenacted any of the romantic scenes in Cruel Romance, Xiaoming said that the both of them are too realistic to indulge in such fantasies. However, he added that he does enjoy giving her princess hugs, out of his desire to protect her. Moreover, despite Angelababy’s tough girl image on the variety show Hurry Up, Brother <奔跑吧兄弟>, also known as the Chinese version of Running Man, she is quite appreciative of her boyfriend’s loving touch.
“She’s just like a shy little girl around me,” said Xiaoming. “She likes to snuggle up against me.”
Wedding to Be Held in China
Though details regarding the couple’s engagement and wedding have not yet been ironed out, Xiaoming revealed that their wedding ceremony would definitely take place in China.
“It must take place in our home country in order to be official,” Xiaoming said. “This is the most important thing, and it cannot be changed. Everything else is up to our liking.”

What is princess hugs? Those sanitised version where they hug 10 metres apart?
I think its the one where the guy lifts the girl off her feet and carries her body in a near perpendicular angle to his body and walks away. I’m up to EP 12 and there have been three or four so far.
I am fine with princess hugs on screen but offended by the manhandling and groping scenes. I wonder if the screenplay has been affected by the Sealed By a Kiss genre where the female falls in love with her Dominator.
I think there is one thing he would prefer over “princess hugs”.
Princess hug?! I heard bear hug but princess hug? Lmao!!!
By the way cant recognise him in picture above. Like he is ever changing.
Why is his ear so big?!
these publicised weddings are designed to promote and sell wedding stuffs. sigh . all fake one. i wait for the divorce.
Uhm, I’m sure HXM knows how his precious darling will ruin the drama if he cast her for the main female lead.
Angelababy is not on par with Joe Chen.
Joe Chen is amazing! Angelababy? Uhh I don’t care.
he looks like an elf in this photo….but other wise..i don’t like this couple.
Does he mean bear hugs?? Wtf is a princess hug Lol I like bear hugs hahaa
I’m watching the drama now. Not a fan of HXM, but honestly, he looks great with Joe Chen. I really can’t imagine what would be like if AB was cast as female lead.
You can wait until May to watch HXM and AB together in a product.
I’m watching it now as well. The artistes, costumes and sets look good but the plot pacing is really schizophrenic. It keeps alternating between intense scenes about revenge and draggy love subplots that has nothing to with the main storyline. Wish they focussed more on the main four characters and the revenge plot.
Btw, I think HXM and Angelababy are cute to go shopping together. Wish them happiness.
Joe Chen always looks good with her men. She never failed to make great chemistry with Everyone! Yes Everyone! One of her great assets.
I hate Hunan randomly cut the drama, they cuts alot and affected the story. Especially Ep12. I needm the uncut version.
