SINGAPORE: Singapore’s celebrity “IT” couple Christopher Lee and Fann Wong are inching closer to tying the knot as they're reportedly on the hunt for a love-nest. And it will be lavish if stylist and confidante to the stars, David Gan is telling all.
Speaking at the Singapore National Museum location shoot of the couple's new movie “Wedding of the Year”, Gan divulged on Monday, “we’ve all been looking for apartments”.
“There’s one that’s really nice which costs S$16 million… it has a swimming pool on every level. (You open the door of your apartment) and you can straight away go to the pool.”
Gan seemed pretty keen to even be neighbours with the star couple, given their close relationship. After all, it was Gan who had helped Christopher pick out the S$50,000 two-carat solitaire platinum band engagement ring for Fann.
But if rumours are to be believed, Gan had better be ready to pack his bags and make sure they're pretty large bags too, since Fann and Christopher have been said to be eyeing a home in Beijing where they're slated to do some filming together.
While Gan distracted the media with juicy tidbits, the couple in question were busy in the next room trying on wedding gowns and fighting with each other, but only for the cameras.
In their reel-life romance and marriage Christopher and Fann are a pair of celebrity scoundrels who detest each other, but fake a very publicised wedding to stoke the flames of publicity to boost their careers in “Wedding of the Year”.
Into their second week of filming, the MediaCorp sweethearts had to do a scene where they don not just one, but 10 sets of wedding costumes of different ethnic flair for the camera.
The screen pair literally fought their way through the bridal costume parade, with Fann sneaking in pinches to Christopher’s bottom and the latter giving some well-aimed jabs at Fann’s small frame.
The work seemed fun for the couple and as Fann later revealed amid giggles, the couple had in fact been secretly trading a few unscripted pokes, while keeping a straight and professional face for the camera. “Very fun” was how Fann summed it up.
But the serious business of getting hitched in real, and reel, life does include the right dress.
In the case of movie, Fann is dressed by Vera Wang no less.
The creator of dream dresses for brides and many bride stars too, is sponsoring all 10 costumes for “Wedding of the Year”.
Six gowns were flown in from New York and four from Australia for the movie and most of the 10 wedding dresses are new designs which have yet to be showcased on runways or photo shoots.
The most expensive gown wears a price tag of S$32,000 while most of the others would be in the ballpark of a mere S$200,000 collectively.
So, will Fann join the legion of stars who've been dressed by Vera Wang for their nuptials? Or does she have her eyes on another design that would compare in terms of price tag?
“Weddings are only once in a lifetime, ok! Or at least I hope it’s only once in a lifetime...” was all Fann would say.
Co-produced by MediaCorp Raintree Pictures and Scorpio East Pictures, "Wedding of the Year" is slated to open in Singapore during Lunar New Year in 2009.
