He couldn't afford to go to high school and quit school at age 15. It was only after he became an actor that he had the money to hire tutors and take private classes. So make the best of it if you are able to attend high schools and colleges!

I grew up in Hong Kong and I've never watched Tony Leung speaking in English. His fluency and pronunciation are really good!!! He dropped out from school after completing his junior high school and he must have dedicated loads of effort to learn the language!

hello , mr leung did not need to win in cannes - his time was for there - when mr john wu carried mr chow out that was meant as the kung fu moved on to gun fights. his roles was to tell local small for outside. he is his muse to tell their lives. his direction is small stories - wished the word 'player' of his character was not used. elle for ferry late

Tony has never studied outside of Hong Kong. In fact, he didn't even have a chance to go to college. He takes learning seriously. He spent time and effort to learn Chinese history and the English language. This is what you get when you study hard,
