Queer Candy - Edison Chen

In our recent post of Maggie Q and Andy Roddick, many of you weren't acquainted with Hong Kong starlet Edison Chen who was also seen at the event. So we've decided to put together a little something for you today!

Edison Chen (陳冠希; pronounced in Madarin: Chén Gūanxī ; Cantonese: Chan Kwoon Hei) (born October 7, 1980 in Vancouver, Canada) is a popular Hong Kong teen idol. He was an artist of the Emperor Entertainment Group (contract ended in year 2005). Chen is of Chinese descent on both sides but his father also has ¼ Portuguese ancestry, that makes his father Macanese.

Born in Vancouver, Canada, Edison has starred in many films including Infernal Affairs II and Twins Effect. He also sings Cantopop and can speak English, Cantonese, Mandarin, and Japanese. However, as with many foreign-born Chinese, Edison does not have a perfect command of Cantonese or Mandarin. He is idolized for his "cool" attitude and his good looks, though critics cite him as conceited.

Many consider Edison Chen to be the first pop singer who brought hip-hop culture to the Hong Kong music industry. Edison Chen recently starred in a film by Jiang Hu in which his character had to rape a dog as punishment. The scene was actually cut to remove his naked butt!
