Joey Thye's Australian Road Trip Sparks Rumours of a 9-Year Age-Gap Romance? The 'Mission Run' Star Sets the Record Straight on Her Next Moves
For us TVB regulars, mention Joey Thye and the first things that come to mind are probably her professional role in Murder Diary, or the fierce, strategic edge she showed in Mission Run. But lately, this long-legged star has been busier than ever. Aside from filming dramas, she's joined the cast of TVB's popular reality show 'Their Road Trip', where she's been having a blast with Karl Ting in Australia. The show has also unexpectedly stirred up rumours of a "May-December romance", leaving us viewers absolutely hooked!
Living It Up in Australia, Karl Ting's Abs Steal the Show
This season of 'Their Road Trip' is better than a drama. Watching this group of young stars driving around Australia, the scenery is great, but the real focus is on the cast. The camera operators were feeling a bit cheeky, perfectly capturing Joey Thye's great figure and Karl Ting's incredibly toned abs. Speaking of Karl, he was pretty open on the show, even revealing he once dated a woman nine years his senior. This admission immediately got the group buzzing, with all the banter pointing towards him and Joey.
But our clever Joey was quick to shut it down. Just as everyone suspected something was going on, she stepped in with a reality check, laughing as she clarified they're just good buddies. She joked, "What he got up to in the past has nothing to do with me!" She then casually dropped a secret about Karl, revealing he's a bit of a "wine enthusiast" who was always trying to find someone to have a drink with during the Australia trip. This had the whole crew teasing him about being a professional at charming the owners of the wineries they visited. It's clear these two on-screen partners are genuinely great mates off-screen, not afraid to share each other's embarrassing stories.
From 'From Hong Kong to Beijing' to 'Mission Run', Audiences Have Watched Her Grow
To be honest, Joey Thye isn't just a reality TV star; her acting has shown continuous improvement. From her quirky performance in From Hong Kong to Beijing to her more recent role in Mission Run, audiences have watched her evolve from a fresh-faced singer into an actress capable of carrying a leading role. She's not the type of talent who bursts onto the scene with incredible acting chops; instead, she's someone who works hard, is willing to learn, and shows noticeable growth with every appearance. It's that kind of journey that makes following her career so compelling.
Fun fact: in one interview with Jinny Ng, she shared that she's a big believer in fate. She likened life to driving a car, saying sometimes you need to stop to truly appreciate the scenery. Just like seeing dolphins in Australia, she saw it as a sign of good luck. This easy-going, 'go-with-the-flow' attitude is probably why she's managed to keep her genuine personality intact in the often complicated world of showbiz.
