Old Injuries Catch Up with Kevin Cheng
Kevin Cheng’s (鄭嘉穎) popularity has been continually on the rise in Mainland China, however due to frequent action scenes that requires dangerous stunts, Kevin is often seen with wounds and bruises. Last year, he suffered two automobile accidents which resulted in neck and back injuries. Recently, Kevin was seen visiting a Chinese chiropractor for his injured leg.
Filming many action-packed series, including Bu Bu Jing Xin <步步驚心>, Gloves Come Off <拳王>, and Ip Man <葉問>, Kevin has been pushing his body to its limits. During Ip Man’s production period, Kevin suffered a blow to the eye, causing him to get ten stitches.
At recent therapy sessions with his chiropractor, Kevin left the doctor’s office expressionless. Hobbling slowly, it is speculated that Kevin tore one of the ligaments in his right leg.
Due to previous back injuries, Kevin ultimately turned down a 30-episode series, losing out on over 15 million RMB. Kevin also reiterated that his decision to turn down the drama was not because of injuries and will continue to film in the new year. However, he will consider physical therapy to treat his old wounds.
To prevent colleagues and fans from worrying about him, Kevin put on a brave face and said, “Thank you for the concern! This is nothing!”

It sucks when a middle aged guy keep trying to play younger roles.
Age does matter and it will take a toll on you physically.
Poor Kevin Cheng!
come on he is a man,more wounds more manly he looks.
oh how sad for kevin cheng!!!!!!!!!!!
No matter old you are. Age is not important. Just be yourself.
oh no! please keep safe, kevin! always liked your acting and want to see many more years of your tv series, please take care of yourself!
Bu Bu Jing Xin is hardly action packed. Old age is catching up. I think Ip Man may be the main cause.
kevin isnt old,look at grandpa jacky chan he is 60 and still make action packed movies,look how much injuries jacky have had in the past and still dont complain. kevin just needs more martial arts training and he will be the next donnie yen.
Jacky Chan was trained in martial arts since he was a child. We just cannot compare Jacky Chan with Kevin Cheng in martial arts.
kolo, it’s a bit too late for him. Donnie and the likes started very young. All Kevin can do is to pretend like he can and watching Ip Man I am sorry to say I fell asleep many times.
Ip man was not that bad at all. Kevin did well for someone who did not get any martial arts training. Hope he takes care of himself and rests more.
Jackie Chan is trained in stunt and knows how to fall to make it look painful but protect major injuries. Kevin is just an actor who happens to be active, but is not specially trained.
KC really needs to let his body rest.
There was no action-packed in Bu Bu Jing Xin. I don’t remember seeing any action-packed in BBJX for him or other actors. He needs to take care of his injuries 1st – he can make more dramas later. How about more singing projects for now? Good luck KC.
I hope Kevin takes care of his health and I can’t wait to see his projects this year.
I love to watch his series but his health is more important. All of the money in the world cannot buy back your health. If you do not have health, you gave nothing.
Meant to say have nothing.
Really? first charmaine and now kevin cheng. gosh! why it is that everyone has to have problem with themselves? why can’t everyone live without any problems?
When artistes have to do action scenes, it is hard to avoid injuries completely. They want to be professional and do action scenes themselves, but they are not trained for those actions especially if they are not young to handle that.
kevin work too hard! he should learn from myolie who will take a one month long vacation to enjoy herself with mandy and nancy and paisely wu starting this chinese new year! kevin should take some vacation! bad greedy tvb should stop pressuring and enslaving kevin to make money in mainland he’s not young anymore!
I don’t think it is TVB who pressures Kevin Cheng to make money in Mainland China. Kevin just wants to do as much as he can while his is still capable and popular in China.
Take care, Kevin. Wanna see more of your drama.
Get well soon!!
I do hope Kevin will learn to listen to sensible advice to think and look after himself now. Indeed, he should take off on a long vacation to where no one knows him and take a good long rest before he starts again. Maybe, as someone has suggested he should take this opportunity to concentrate on his favourite pastime, singing. I do hope he realizes that one, however strong, can only do so much.
