TAIPEI — Taiwanese actor Tsai Tung-wei, better known by his stage name Gino, refuted on Tuesday (Oct 20) news reports that he was addicted to drugs after his debut in 2003.

Gino posted on Facebook a screengrab of an article published by Malaysia-based newspaper China Press, which claimed that he “returned to acting after a period of silence due to a drug scandal that broke out at the climax of his career”.
