Ngo Manh Dat "King of supporting roles" - Money, talent and disability

When he was still alive, Hong Kong actor Ngo Manh Dat admitted that he had almost committed suicide because of gambling, drinking...

Ngo Manh Dat acted in movies for 46 years, mainly playing supporting roles, but was loved and mentioned as much as the main actor. The Sohu newspaper commented that although they are rarely honored at award ceremonies, artists are monuments to the audience thanks to their everyday images on the film. He did not repeat himself in every work. Whether playing ancient or modern, comedy scenes or scenes that need to be expressed, Ngo Manh Dat shows his talent. He incarnated naturally, bringing smiles and tears, leaving viewers with reflections on life.

Famous after only 1 night, Ngo Manh Dat dressed up to the point of ruining his family

The artist was born in 1951 (source is born in 1953) in Fujian province, China, followed his parents to Hong Kong to live since the age of seven. In 1973, he entered TVB's artist training class, sharing the same class with Chow Yun Fat. Since 1975, he has played unknown roles in the station's television series. By 1979, Ngo Manh Dat's career turned to the page thanks to the role of Ho Thiet Hoa in the legendary Department of Luu Huong.

Recalling this time, Ngo Manh Dat said that he was no different from Chau Nhuan Phat, always being welcomed and photographed everywhere. Even the actor surnamed Ngo shared: "Every time the hotel door opens, there is always a girl waiting for me". At the age of 26, Ngo Manh Dat tasted fame for the first time.

Since then, Ngo Manh Dat has slipped on the path of fame. Famous too quickly, earning too much money, and being lured by bad friends, during his years in Taiwan, Ngo Manh Dat was day-to-day diving in casinos, spending money like water. Years later, Ngo Manh Dat considers this to be his dark time.

Losing silver, Ngo Manh Dat borrowed money everywhere. Winning silver, he was immersed in alcohol. After only one year, Ngo Manh Dat was empty-handed, all the money he earned from filming "evaporated", even owed up to 300,000 Hong Kong dollars (900 million dong) in credit cards. Constantly being sought by loan sharks to squeeze debts, Ngo Manh Dat declared bankruptcy.

He once went to see Chau Nhuan Phat to borrow money, but was harshly refused. While in dire straits, the actor surnamed Wu was very angry with his friend, but later he understood that Chow Yun Fat only wanted to help him know his mistake and be responsible for what he caused. He also revealed that, during the most difficult and disorienting time, Ngo Manh Dat thought of suicide.

Ngo Manh Dat changed his luck thanks to cooperation with Chau Tinh Tri

Entering the profession in 1976, gradually getting a name from 1980, to 1989, the name Ngo Manh Dat began to be associated with his friend Chau Tinh Tri. The pair of identical songs has made countless cult films, associated with the childhood of many 8x, 9x generation audiences such as Journey to the West I - II - III, Comedy King, Shaolin Football Team. In this series, he often took the name Uncle Dat and until now, Tinh Gia fans in particular and Hong Kong film audiences in general still call him by the familiar name - Uncle Dat.

The professional life of both Chau Tinh Tri and Ngo Manh Dat has played with many actors, but perhaps, the best juggling with Tinh Gia is Uncle Dat. Ngo Manh Dat was also very proud when he mentioned his hot-tempered friend: "I'm the only one who hasn't been scolded by Chau Tinh Tri!".

Not only Ngo Manh Dat, Chau Tinh Tri used to be aggressive with many people in the entertainment world because of the rather eccentric and capricious nature of the comedian king. As for the reason why Tinh Gia and Uncle Dat went their separate ways, no one really understood. The press said that because Chau Tinh Tri had "flashed out" at the last minute, causing Ngo Manh Dat to lose his role in Tuyet Dinh Kungfu, the two best friends had gone their separate ways, there were rumors that the Tinh Gia had raised their voices to their best brother. this set. I don't know what the exact reason is in the end, I only know that Absolute Ding Kungfu - the 2004 film of the Tinh Gia is also the end of the friendship between the two.

After the break-up, Tinh Gia very limited mention of the old man, and Ngo Manh Dat still often shared about his best friend for a while. The late actor once said: "I and Mr. Tinh have no discord at all, just different levels! Before, he was on the same level with us, but now he has earned more money. so friends will change too." Or another time, Ngo Manh Dat also emphasized: "He (Chau Tinh Tri) is a fickle person."

These things make many people think that the actor surnamed Ngo really has a great feud with the old man. In particular, since 2004 until now, Chau Tinh Tri has also invited Uncle Ngo to participate in his produced films (My Man Ngu) but Ngo Manh Dat has refused for health reasons, which makes many people more interested. more skeptical about the relationship of the matching pair of cards.
