Christopher Lee wins second Golden Bell Award for HBO Asia's Workers

Lee, 50, dialled into the prestigious television awards show – Taiwan’s equivalent of the Emmys – when his category was announced. “Ah, I’m so happy,” he exclaimed from the Marina Bay Sands hotel when he won.

In an emotional acceptance speech, Lee thanked his family – actress wife Fann Wong and their seven-year-old son.

“I want to thank my wife Fann and my son Zed. In particular, I’m really thankful to my wife. It is because of your dedication and your unconditional support that I feel at ease acting and filming dramas outside.”
