18 03 2008

HONG KONG (Reuters) – Award-winning Hong Kong actor Tony Leung said Chinese actress Tang Wei should not have been singled out and blacklisted by Beijing, following her sexually explicit role in the acclaimed movie “Lust, Caution.”

China’s State Administration of Radio Film and Television (SARFT) recently demanded local stations cease airing ads starring Tang, including skin care commercials for cosmetics brand Pond’s, which local media have linked to her sexually explicit and politically sensitive role in “Lust.”
