Juno Mak (麥浚龍) was a VIP fan at an autograph-signing session that N*E*R*D's Pharrell Williams and Shay Haley held in Hong Kong yesterday.
Juno, who has recently gone to Japan for work, denied that Gillian Chung (鍾欣桐) was his travelling companion. Hong Kong press have rumoured that the pair are dating since Juno comforted Gillian when she was implicated in the Edison Chen (陳冠希) sex photos scandal several weeks ago, when photos of Edison and women – purportedly including Gillian – having sex leaked onto the internet.
Juno said: "No. The work schedule was very tight. Everyone is wrong about Gillian coming with me to Japan. Nor did she come with me to a friend's wedding in Hawaii."
Reporters asked Juno about his lifestyle and fashion brand, Silly Thing, competing with Edison’s brand, CLOT.
Juno quipped: "Edison's products are very different to ours. Ours are more commercially successful and have been distributed in Japan and Paris. Besides, we have over 10 years of history. Edison's company was just cobbled together by a few friends."
He added: "The two directions are very different. I do high-end fashion. Edison does street-corner fashion."
When Juno was asked if Silly Thing would hire Gillian as a spokesmodel after she was unceremoniously axed by Adidas as a result of the scandal, he replied: "There's always a possibility. But you would have to ask her company."
Juno cheekily asked reporters whether or not his complexion had improved. He revealed that he is planning to grow a beard. A Hong Kong reporter joked that Juno wanted to look more mature alongside Gillian, who is three years his senior.
