Biography

edit

Carol Chu was born in Penang, Malaysia. Her family moved to Kuala Lumpur when she was at a young age, and ran a seafood restaurant there.

Chu started out as a model, and in 1985, contested in the Malaysian magazine model contest and emerged as a third runner-up.

In 1987, Chu was introduced by a Malaysian journalist to Hong Kong actor and singer Andy Lau. They started a secret relationship thereafter.[1]

From 1991 onwards, Lau's relationship with Chu was often subjected to media attention and speculation.

In 2004, Chu became a vegetarian for religious reasons.

In June 2008, Lau and Chu married in Las Vegas.[2]

In May 2012, their daughter, Hanna Lau, was born at the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital in Hong Kong. Their daughter was first photographed by the media in April 2015 while they were at the park.
