Hong Kong actor Sammul Chan has reportedly been diagnosed with brain disease. The 42-year-old former TVB star is known for his roles in many popular Hong Kong dramas such as “Survivor’s Law“, “Triumph in the Skies“, “The Academy“, and “The Four“. Chan left TVB in 2010 to focus on his career in mainland China. Media outlet HK01 reported on November 16 that Chan has not been active in showbiz since late 2019 after shooting an online film in mainland China.

Chan found out that he was missing a blood vessel in his brain during a medical check up in 2018. The condition is hereditary and does not have a cure. Chan has developed a different outlook on life after finding out about his illness, according to Hong Kong media. It has been reported by HK01 that the actor is now focusing on a four-year theology course. Chan is rumoured to have quit showbiz and is focusing on being a missionary.
