My Star Bride actor Xu Bin celebrated Star Awards nods from hospital
When My Star Bride actor Xu Bin learned that he was shortlisted for the Top 10 Most Popular Male Artiste accolade at the upcoming Star Awards, he naturally celebrated - albeit from the hospital.
"Let this bitter melon-faced father in the hospital have a little more impetus, and comfort the soul that has been shrouded in low emotions these days," Xu wrote on Instagram last Thursday (March 10) night.
Lianhe Zaobao later reported that the Xu was in isolation with his one-year-old daughter at KK Women's and Children's Hospital last week, after they had both tested positive for Covid-19.
His four-year-old son was also down with Covid-19 but his condition was more serious as he had developed multi-system inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C), a rare condition in children, in which different organs in the body become inflamed. The boy has since been discharged from hospital
Xu's mother was also Covid-19 positive, but his wife, Evelyn Wang Yifei, did not catch the virus.
