Barbara Yung and Kent Tong Living Together on Set, Ready for Marriage
The Covered-Ups magazine (News weekly) 1983 October
Barbara and Kent's relationship has reached a white-hot stage; they are constantly seen together, and it’s no secret. Anyone who knows Barbara well would know this too.
Kent is asked about his thoughts on marriage.
“What do you mean, 'Do I want to?' Of course, I do!” he says, though his traditional male pride flares up, as he values his independence. But in his heart, he's already prepared to commit, though he still struggles with the idea of having to give up control in certain areas.
Traditional Views and Open-Mindedness
Kent admits he has a strong sense of male pride and admits that he can be very traditional at times. Barbara, on the other hand, is more open-minded, though she still has her boundaries. Kent appreciates this about her, finding her both open yet grounded.
In a joking tone, Kent says he’d even consider a gender switch to move to the UK with Barbara if it ever came down to it! He enjoys making light of the conversation.
Plans for Moving and Career Choices
When asked if he would move abroad, Kent laughs it off and admits he’d rather stay in Hong Kong, where he has deep connections and friends. However, he mentions that if he and Barbara were to marry and she needed to go back to the UK, he’d follow her if necessary.
Kent is content with his career in Hong Kong, noting that he’s one of the “Five Tigers” supported by the network, though his roles are often typecast as villains or supporting characters. He jokes about wanting to play less intense, more likable characters someday.
Reluctance to Perform Abroad and Maintaining Privacy
When asked about performing overseas, Kent explains that he avoids it. He prefers not to take on exhausting tours with little benefit. While some peers have gone to Europe to perform, he’s realistic and prioritizes rest over the limited compensation those trips offer.
Barbara is busy with projects as well, and their frequent time together has led to rumours about their relationship. Kent humorously remarks that everyone assumes they’re already living together, as they share a dressing room on set. He laughs off the idea of marriage affecting their privacy, insisting they keep a respectful distance for now. Barbara also prefers to avoid overly close displays in public.
In conclusion, while they are seen together often, Kent Tong and Barbara Yung maintain some boundaries to keep their relationship private and preserve some mystery for the future.

星马观众离弃他
「我要趁自己的戏还未在星加坡一 带上,快快到边赚钱,否则,以后 想过去登台也难。」
原来,星马一带的观念一向爱恨分 明,如果人在戏中演歹角,根本不 用过去登台了,观众不会买票捧场。
「美的,怎么不见你去登台的,看 美珍也去过欧洲了??」我说。 「去年一直忙于拍剧集,怎么有时
