Actors Romeo Tan, Hsiu Chieh-kai and Shaun Chen, who play Zoe Tay’s on-screen sons, during a scene celebrating her 48th birthday.Malaysia-born actor Shaun Chen, the eldest son in the Emerald Hill family, says playing Zoe Tay’s on-screen son has been a challenge.
“She’s the oldest character I have played, and the first time my on-screen children are so grown up,” says Tay, 56, during a media visit on June 18 to the mansion where Emerald Hill is being filmed. “I have to adjust my tone and reduce my energy to be calmer and more relaxed,” adds the mother of three boys aged 13, 16 and 19.Joe Alwyn breaks silence on Taylor Swift split for the first time
For local actor Tan, 39, treating Tay as a maternal figure comes naturally. Since the start of his career in 2010, he has “always seen her” as one. He adds that he did not know her age before filming either, which only made him treat her with a lot more respect.“It’s quite stressful because coming from Taiwan, I’m not that knowledgeable about Peranakan culture and had to learn a lot to get into character,” he says in Mandarin.
