Andrew Hui Chi-on (born 12 August 1967) is a Hong Kong singer and actor. Hui is considered one of the most successful Hong Kong singers, with an extensive list of Cantonese and Mandarin hits to his credit.

Early life

[edit]

Hui's mother is Vietnamese. He was transferred to Confucian Tai Shing Primary School because his previous school forced him to perform tasks right-handed when he was born left-handed.[citation needed]

Career

[edit]

Hui was the first runner-up in the fifth Annual New Talent Singing Awards in 1986. Hui has appeared in more than 25 films.

His first music contract came in 1986, and his singing career reached stellar status in 2001 as he won awards of the most favourite male singer.

In 2004, Hui was named by Alan Tam as one of the 'New Four Heavenly Kings' along with Hacken Lee, Leo Ku, and Edmond Leung which would be replacing the once lustrous title awarded to Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok, and Leon Lai.

In October 2005, Andy was declared one of Ten Outstanding Young Persons where his hard work on his music and film career, and his excellence in commitment to the community was recognized.

Personal life

[edit]

Hui married singer-actress Sammi Cheng in 2013.[1] Sammi admitted in 2018 that they have never legally registered to marry. They merely attended a friend's wedding back in 2013.

On April 16, 2019, a video of Hui being intimate with former HK Pageant contestant and TVB actress Jacqueline Wong during a taxi ride was released. The incident was recorded by the taxi's in-vehicle camera. Hui made a public apology to his wife and loved ones, citing he was drunk that night but admitted his intoxication was no excuse for his behaviour. Wong's image and career was adversely affected but Hui was able to restart his career and saved his marriage after the scandal.[2][3][4][5][6]
