Him Law Vomits From Smoking in “Young and Dangerous: Reloaded”
Young and Dangerous: Reloaded <古惑仔: 江湖新秩序> opened in Hong Kong theaters on January 10, 2013, and Him Law’s (羅仲謙) portrayal as triad, Chan Ho Nam, was hotly debated among many fans of the original 1996 film.
Him expressed that he was very happy and excited when he first received the phone call that offered him the role. But later, his worries initiated. “There is pressure!” He exclaimed. In the film, Him portrays a different version of Chan Ho Nam. The character will no longer be someone who craves heroism. In fact, he is more real and humane.
Regarding his character in the film, Him said, “Chan Ho Nam can’t do anything. They are all afraid of dying, so they won’t be as rebellious anymore. After all, society has changed!” Since the character is designed to be reticent, Him believes that there are many concerns. On the other hand, he envies Oscar Leung’s (梁烈唯) role as Chicken. “His role has no limits. There are no frames around it. So much room for development!”
Due to his gangster role, Him had to smoke constantly while filming. He is not a smoker in real life, so he found it very difficult to bear. “As someone who didn’t know how to smoke, I had to start learning. There was a scene where I finished a whole box of cigarettes. I was dizzy and nauseous afterwards.” Him felt discomfort back and ended up vomiting.
Asked if he is afraid of being stereotyped after the film is released, Him replied, “Maybe one day I’ll say that being stereotyped is miserable, but at the moment, I wish I am stereotyped. It means the film is a success! I hope people will call me Chan Ho Nam when they see me on the streets!”

There is a thing called fake smoking like fake drinking.
I guess he really wanted to get into character but backfired on him.
fake smoking? lol…
tobacco is replaced with something else im guessing.
Sorry Him, but the Chan Ho Nam name is reserved for Ekin only.
I agree, when I think of Chan Ho Nam, I think of Ekin and not Him.
i agree too
gallen lo ranks up there with ekin as chan ho nam!
Me too…I think of Ekin not Him.
Times change…actors change as well…such as the James Bond series.
He’s just trying to let the public know that he is a good man. 🙂
…but what’s a ‘good man’?? A man who doesn’t smoke? Seriously..lol.
LOL! A lot of woman actually look for that quality in man! But that does make up the fact he abused Theresa XD
one of the quality hong kong “seun-poons”/”bestdeals”/”hot property” includes not smoking!
Smoking sucks!
very good boy image indeed of Him and surprise he cant smoke at all, seldom hang out in nightclub and always work-put in gym & eat healthy & drink less & hitting punching bags only & not hitting the girls (to venge his rising testeterone level)
i’m sorry but if chan ho nam is a scaredy cat he’s no longer chan ho nam. the series was as classic why bother making a remake? I think Wilson chin just wants to rake in the $$ =/
