Ada Choi (born 17 September 1973) is a Hong Kong actress best known for her work for TVB television, notably as an evil empress in the Chinese television series Zhen Huan Chuan and to a lesser extent, for her film work.
Career[edit]
Choi participated on a modeling contest held by TVB at age 15. Two years later, she was a contestant in the 1991 Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant. During the semi-finals she placed first with an overall score of 483. She eventually finished as the second runner-up during the finals. She won the TVB Anniversary Award for Best Actress for her performance in Secret of the Heart (1998). Along with Maggie Cheung Ho-yee, Kenix Kwok, Flora Chan and Jessica Hsuan, Choi is known as one of the Top 5 'Fa Dans' (term used for actresses with high popularity) of TVB from the mid-1990s to mid-2000s. In 2009, she starred in Rebellion as a triad gang leader who chain-smokes and curses, a different type of role for Ada.
Personal life[edit]
On 12 January 2008, Choi married Chinese actor Max Zhang[2][3] whom she had dated for more than four years. He was her co-star in a number of Zhouyi Media television productions including Paradise and Eight Charts. They have two daughters, Zoe and Chloe.[4][5] In 2019, they announced on social media that they are expecting their third child.[6]
