How it's used
Actors in Hong Kong are frequently referred to by their full three-character names in casual conversation. Using the full name is standard practice for celebrities, as it avoids ambiguity and shows familiarity with their work. Unlike some Western contexts where a surname might suffice, Cantonese speakers typically use the full name to identify public figures clearly.
