First, I’d like to apologize for delivering this unfortunate news to the many fans who love and care for me.

I ask for your understanding in regards to the fact that it is difficult to discuss the details of my personal life, and I will recover from my current wounds and do my utmost as an actor to repay you through great productions in the future.

She doesnt even pretend, she must have mental issues’ but no he is a man so he is ‘emotionally prepared’

but I just hope it's best for all involved.
