Zhou Xun and Chen Kun’s soulmate-like relationship for 20 years: Co-starring in 10 works together with even adult scenes
The enviable friendship between Zhou Xun and Chen Kun has lasted for 2 decades.
On February 24, the news that Zhou Xun and Chen Kun have registered their marriage and are preparing to hold a wedding ceremony in Tibet created a buzz, although nothing has been confirmed by the actors themselves. The relationship of Zhou Xun and Chen Kun is like a beautiful, peaceful dream after many ups and downs.
Zhou Xun and Chen Kun’s predestined relationship began when they both appeared in the TV series “Love Story in Shanghai”. At the time, Zhou Xun was a top actress in China’s entertainment industry, while Chen Kun was only a rookie.
Chen Kun is Zhou Xun’s junior, but she has always been supportive of him, even when he was a newbie. Their characters’ romance in “Love Story in Shanghai” was unfinished and left regret, but this drama marked the beginning of the long-lasting friendship between Zhou Xun and Chen Kun in real life.
Although they knew each other through work, Zhou Xun and Chen Kun quickly became close off the screen. To Zhou Xun, Chen Kun is the only man who can forgive all her mistakes, while Zhou Xun is someone who can understand, “read” Chen Kun, as well as share all joys and sorrows with him.
After over 2 decades of acting, the two have co-starred in 10 projects, including both successes and failures. In particular, alongside “Love Story in Shanghai”, Zhou Xun and Chen Kun also collaborated in the drama “The House of Compradors”, as well as 8 movies, including “Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress”, “A West Lake Moment”, “Beginning of the Great Revival”, “Flying Swords of Dragon Gate”,”The Yinyang Master” (2021), “Baober in Love” and 2 parts of “Painted Skin”. It is no exaggeration to say that there’s no actress that works with Chen Kun as much as Zhou Xun and vice versa. Instead, this is perhaps the one and only case in the Chinese show-biz.
On top of all these, the two top Chinese stars also played a lot of adult scenes together, and never failed to immerse in these scenes, no matter what work they are acting in. This is prime evidence to their extremely close relationship, to the point there’s no awkwardness.
It is also known that Chen Kun risked a lot to form such a tight relationship with Zhou Xun. Previously, while filming “Painted Skin”, rumors of arguments between Zhou Xun and famous actress Zhao Wei started to spread, and against this, Chen Kun firmly defended Zhou Xun. At the time, the male actor effectively lost his friendship with Zhao Wei.
Chen Kun’s understanding and closeness with Zhou Xun won over his long-term friendship with Zhao Wei, and this later proved to be a right decision. Zhao Wei is now buried in controversies, and Chen Kun has severed their ties. Meanwhile, the male actor never fails to wish Zhou Xun the best every time her birthday approaches.
Should rumors of Chen Kun and Zhou Xun’s marriage be true, many fans will be ecstatic. However, even if those were not true, reactions would still be positive. Afterall, it is not easy for a friendship like Zhou Xun and Chen Kun to exist over 20 years, especially when both parties are active in the turbulent Chinese showbiz.
