Bosco is known for being friendly and easy-going, so fans were surprised by his outburst and diva behaviour.
However, some netizens said it’s “obviously an act” and mocked him for his “exaggerated” and “bad acting”.
Furthermore, they noticed a microphone attached to Bosco’s shirt and speculated this was a publicity stunt for his new movie, in which he plays a gangster.
After the video went viral, Mega Films Distribution, which distributes The Unwavering Brotherhood in Malaysia, posted a video and statement on Facebook and Xiao Hong Shu clarifying that they were trying to recreate the fierce and intense vibe of the movie.
“We appreciate fans for standing up for justice. Bosco Wong, as the star of The Unwavering Brotherhood, has always led by example and has no intention of bullying anyone!” it said.
