Male fan rushes in for close-up photos, causing chaos — Bowie Lam surrounded and startled at Singapore airport

(Singapore, 25th) Veteran TVB Best Actor Bowie Lam, 60, recently arrived in Singapore, but what should have been a routine appearance quickly turned into a chaotic fan incident that has since sparked widespread discussion online.

Known for iconic dramas such as Untraceable Evidence and Healing Hands, Bowie Lam remains a beloved figure despite fewer recent works. His 2025 series Forensic Heroes 12 still achieved solid ratings, reflecting his enduring popularity.

According to videos circulating online, Lam was immediately surrounded by a large crowd of fans upon exiting the airport arrival hall. While he initially maintained a smile, the situation soon spiraled out of control. A male fan, dressed in black with red shorts, became unusually aggressive—ignoring staff instructions and forcefully rushing toward Lam with a red phone to take a selfie.

The fan reportedly pushed against security and staff multiple times, creating a highly chaotic scene. Despite being shielded by at least three personnel, Lam appeared visibly shaken—keeping his head down, shoulders hunched, and body tense throughout the ordeal.

The incident quickly went viral, with netizens overwhelmingly condemning the fan’s behavior: “That guy with the red phone was out of control,” “This is honestly frightening.” Some commented bluntly, “Real fans wouldn’t act like this.”

Many fans also expressed concern for Lam, urging respectful behavior: “Don’t scare a 60-year-old artist like this.” Singaporean fans, in particular, took to social media to apologize and expressed hope that the incident would not deter him from returning: “We hope he wasn’t too shaken—please come back again.”
