He said: “I'm a big fan of Snooker. My hero is O'Sullivan.

“I gave him a surprise in Beijing Guangjo. I shot there and knew that he was on stage. I hurried … I took flowers.”

Last year O'Sullivan Chan described as a “beautiful guy” after the actor had contributed to promoting the journey of the Snooker player to Macau for an exhibition event.

They even played a bit together before O'Sullivan went to work.

“We spoke on the phone a few times and we have mutual friends,” O'Sullivan told reporters to meet Chan.

“This was the first time that we met. He is a beautiful guy.”

Chan also played some frames with the 1997 world champion Ken Doherty in Hong Kong.

“I was invited to eat with him in one evening Charity Night, then we went karaoke together, then we played snooker and I showed him some trick shots, ”said Doherty.

“He is a great society, as you can see on the screen. And he loves singing, just like the Irish.”

The main stars and police history, which is worth a reported $ 400 million, would be sad to hear speculation about O'Sullivan's retirement.

After the loss of a crucible with the later Champion Zhao Xintong – the first Chinese world champion – the Englishman revealed that his future is uncertain.

“I will start a new life somewhere else,” he said. “I will still try to play snookers, but I don't know what the future really looks like for me.

“I don't play again? I don't say anything. I said it so often.

“I say nothing else than to pull away soon. There are much more important things in life that I have to worry about than a snook player.

“For me it is a large part of my life, but I have to try to find out what my future looks like, whether it is playing or not.”

Before the melting pot, O'Sullivan was absent in many competitions to health and questioned his skills when he returned to the table.
