Ron Ng claims he was poor before

5 Feb – TVB 2011 Best Actor nominee Ron Ng has stepped forward, publicizing that he was from a low-class family, following reports from Jayne Stars.

The actor, who admitted that "L'Escargot" was among his top 3 favourite scripts, has shared that everyone in his family had settled in a 400 square feet public housing apartment while he was growing up.

"When I was a child, I slept in the living room. However, we lived happily together. I often kicked ball in the building hallways and played ping pong, unlike the children today who have the luxury to play video games," stated the 33-year-old actor.

Ron responded nervously, "Of course not! Did you confuse me with someone else?", when reporters commented on the credibility of his confession.

The Hong Kong star then jokingly referred to fellow TVB star Raymond Lam to have been brought up in a higher class family.

"He grew up playing model toys!," quipped Ron.

The star also indicated that his mother is to become a property owner soon and would not need to pay for rent.

"It would be best if I can live with my mother, so there is soup to drink after work, breakfast and lovingly-prepared lunchboxes to eat! For some time, my mother had to take care of my sisters' kids and I felt very lonely. I had to rely on the maid and often ate instant noodles."

When reporters approached him with a question about getting hitched, he proclaimed to not be ready in terms of his age for such a commitment.

"I have not yet reached an age suitable for marriage yet. I have to buy a house and earn enough money first!" says Ron.
