"You know, if I tell the press that I like long blonde hair, the next day there will be girls with long hair wigs outside waiting for me"
About this Quote
The specific intent reads like boundary-setting disguised as a joke. By choosing something as trivial as “long blonde hair,” Lau shows how low the bar is for a celebrity comment to become a directive. The “next day” punch compresses the whole publicity machine into 24 hours: media extracts a soundbite, fans absorb it, commerce supplies the wigs, and suddenly a private taste becomes a communal audition.
Subtextually, it’s also a critique of how fandom and tabloid culture can flatten identity. The girls outside aren’t being “themselves”; they’re being “what he wants,” as imagined through a press filter. Wigs matter here: not hair, but hair-as-prop, signaling performance, anonymity, disposability. It hints at a loneliness unique to stardom, where you can be surrounded by people who are reacting to a narrative version of you.
Context matters: Lau’s been a Hong Kong megastar for decades, trained in an industry that tightly manages image and feeds an always-on gossip ecosystem. The quote reveals a veteran’s wariness. He knows the smallest personal detail can become a public commodity - and that the public will show up holding it, literally, on their heads.
