Taiwanese superstar Jay Chou may have found an unexpected way to bring Edison Chen and Shawn Yue back together. Jay shared a social media post of him playing tennis with his good friend Shawn Yue in Taipei. The post also featured scenes from their 2005 film Initial D, alongside a poster celebrating the movie’s 20th anniversary. Looking back on their time filming the movie, Jay wrote: “Twenty-one years ago, we were racing cars in a movie. Now we’re both fathers, so instead of racing, we’re playing tennis.” The post attracted an unexpected reaction from Edison Chen, who liked it and left a comment saying, “OG CREW.” Jay quickly responded with, “Isn’t it about time we had a sequel?” accompanied by a laughing-and-crying emoji.
The reported tension between Shawn Yue and Edison Chen dates back to the peak of their careers, when the two were frequently compared. Rumors also circulated that their relationship deteriorated over romantic rivalry. One of their most widely discussed incidents reportedly took place backstage at an awards show, where the pair allegedly bumped each other and exchanged profanities in a confrontation that became known among fans. Both men who are singer-actors has since established their own fashion and lifestyle brands. Even two years ago, when Jay Chou performed at Taipei Dome, Shawn and Edison attended different dates to show their support for the singer.
Meanwhile, Jay Chou may have opened the door to a possible reunion. After Edison left his comment, Jay shared the interaction on his Instagram Story, expressing his surprise that Edison had appeared in the comments late at night. He also joked that he would love to see Edison and Shawn’s characters in Initial D, play tennis together and tagged both actors.
