Edison Chen was most likely discovered when he first made a commercial for a credit card featuring Cecilia Cheung and Leon Lai.

In March of 2004, Edison was assaulted by two teenagers ages 15 and 17 in downtown Hong Kong. As he came out of a hair salon, the two teens were mocking him by break dancing in front of him then one of the teens swung at him and hit him on the left ear. Edison pursued his assaulters for nine city blocks then called in his two assistants (rumored to be ex-Triad members) who eventually caught the two teens on a bus.

His first movie was "Gen-Y Cops"

Edison is 7/8 Chinese and 1/8 Portugese
