Next time you hop on the train, keep your eyes peeled—one of Singapore's beloved stars might be just a seat away!

Recently, a Chinese fan named Sandy took to Xiaohongshu to share an exhilarating encounter with the iconic actor Xie Shaoguang while riding the MRT. The 62-year-old star, making waves since his comeback to the entertainment scene last September after a 20-year hiatus, was spotted on his way to a filming location.

Dressed casually in a grey tee, Xie was an unexpected sight for Sandy. Summoning her courage, she approached him to confirm his identity. To her delight, not only did she recognize the Mediacorp actor, but she also seized the moment to ask for a selfie—something she hesitated to do during their first encounter.

"This was my second time seeing him, and I didn’t want to miss the chance again!" Sandy revealed. Traveling the same route from Woodlands to Caldecott and then to Buona Vista, it’s likely Xie was headed to the set of his latest project, The Gift of Time.

The internet buzzed with excitement over Sandy’s post, with fans identifying Xie by his memorable roles, particularly his unforgettable character "Pangolin" from the 1998 drama Legend Of The Eight Immortals. Many praised him, calling him the finest actor with unmatched skills in Singapore’s Mediacorp.

As anticipation builds for the premiere of The Gift Of Time in October, Xie Shaoguang continues to captivate fans both on and off the screen.
