Patrick, who reportedly came out of retirement to act in Time, was ecstatic to have finally won the award.

Thanking the cast and crew, he said: "I must invite them to a six-star hotel for coffee. I would like to thank my on-screen partner Fung Bo Bo the most. We had great chemistry on set. I hope there will be more opportunities to work together in the future.”

This is Patrick and Bo Bo's first time working together on screen after six decades. They had previously starred opposite each other in 1960’s Deep In Love when Bo Bo was just four.

According to repots, Bo Bo, 67, accepted the role in Time because of Patrick.

After making his acting debut at the age of 17 in 1952 movie The Stormy Night, he went on to become one of Asian cinema's most popular idols in the '60s and '70s.

He stopped acting in the 1990s after immigrating to Canada, though he still takes on the occasional role. Last year, his son, Hongkong star Nicholas Tse, revealed that Patrick has not adjusted well to life post-retirement.
