Being on set might be a good time for celebs to film some extra content for social media, but they better make sure they’re not doing it while working with Mark Lee.
In a recent episode of mediacorp.re.dian’s In The Hot Seat, the 55-year-old actor was asked if there is any artiste he would not want to work with again.
After candidly calling some celebs out for being “unprofessional”, Mark then admitted he gets upset when his co-stars film TikToks on set.
“I don’t like people who, once they finish their scenes, go and do TikTok videos. When you’re acting and you go on set, your job that day is acting, not TikTok,” he explained sternly.
In fact, Mark is so particular that he would expect his co-workers to put their devices away while working.
“Sometimes, even Lee Teng, when we’re hosting [Mediacorp variety show] Body SOS and I see [him] put his phone in his pocket, I also cannot take it,” he sighed.
When asked if he had told Lee Teng off before, Mark exclaimed: “Yes!”
He then turned to the camera to address the Left Profile artiste. “Lee Teng, I told you before right? But you never change, you still put your handphone [in your pocket]. I don’t know what’s so important [that you need to have your phone with you].”
Judging from Lee Teng’s reply in the comments section, he did not feel apologetic at all.
“Y cannot put handphone in my pocket? (sic)” wrote Lee Teng, adding three laugh-crying emojis for effect. He then joked that he uses his phone as a heat pack “to keep warm” because the studio is very cold.
When ex-Mediacorp host Kate Pang suggested Lee Teng “put [his phone] in Mark Gor’s pocket next time”, he quipped: “Good idea! Then I shoot a TikTok video.”
Now we can’t help but wonder, was Mark secretly fuming when he was shooting these TikToks on set?
