Actor Qi Yuwu celebrates birthday with Joanne Peh, Joseph Schooling and Thanksgiving turkey
Actor Qi Yuwu's 48th birthday was on Nov 28, which also happened to be Thanksgiving day this year.
Thanksgiving is a US holiday that is traditionally celebrated with a turkey dinner on the fourth Thursday of November.
Acknowledging the double occasion, Qi posted on Instagram a photo of himself posing with a carving knife and fork over a cooked turkey on his birthday.
The caption said in Chinese: "Birthday and Thanksgiving together, turkey to celebrate birthday."
He also shared a group photo that included his wife Joanne Peh and Olympic gold medallist Joseph Schooling.
On his birthday, Qi's former Mediacorp colleague Sharon Au posted on Instagram about her experience acting in his directorial debut, a short film called Where The Heart Is.
She wrote: "Working with you on your debut short film was not just an incredible creative experience, but a deeply personal journey for me. Under your direction, I faced my inner demons and, for the first time, confronted myself with honesty."
Au added: "On this special day, I wish you endless inspiration, boldness in every story you choose to tell, and the joy of seeing your work touch hearts around the world.
"May this year bring you even more success, fulfillment, and magical moments on your creative journey.
"Here's to many more films, and I hope we get to create something together again someday."
