HE is widely considered to be one of Hong Kong television's most handsome hunks.
But Kevin Cheng feels that his good pal, Singaporean actor and host Ben Yeo is so much luckier.
That is, when it comes to love.
'I believe in fate and Ben's really lucky to be able to find someone who can be his love for life,' the 39-year old actor told The New Paper.
Ben became a first-time father in May this year, and his son Javier's godfather is none other than Kevin. Does witnessing his buddy's bliss make him feel like settling down?
'I'd love to, but you can't rush things like that,' he said with a chuckle, adding that some people are fortunate enough to find the right one, while 'others spend their whole lives searching'. He said he preferred to just let nature take its course.
The bachelor had been previously linked to TVB actresses Niki Chow, 29, and recently, Charmaine Sheh, 34, his co-star in detective series Forensic Heroes II.
Kevin has never admitted to either relationship outright.
While it took a lighthearted drama, Under The Canopy Of Love, to propel him to stardom (he won Best Actor at the 2006 TVB Anniversary Awards for his role in that series), he said he always relishes new challenges.
'I've done several intense, dramatic roles, like in The Ultimate Crime Fighter (where he plays a disturbed, bisexual murderer) and Last One Standing (where he plays an ex-convict) and loved them.
'But after doing a string of such characters, I hope for a change and to do something different, like a swordfighting drama or a laugh-out-loud comedy.'
Kevin is currently filming the period drama Iron Horse Seeking Bridge, which also stars rumoured couple Kenneth Ma and Nancy Wu.
