Artist Phuoc Sang hospitalized for emergency care

Sources said that on the morning of August 15, the eldest son who was living with artist Phuoc Sang noticed that his father's room was unusually quiet, so he went upstairs to check and found him lying motionless, not responding when called.

Suspecting that he had a stroke, the son called an ambulance to take his father to Thong Nhat Hospital (Tan Binh, Ho Chi Minh City).

The doctor said Phuoc Sang's prognosis was poor because he had suffered three strokes and had high blood pressure. Fortunately, at 11pm that same day, he regained consciousness and was allowed to leave the emergency room. The male artist was out of danger, although he could not speak yet.

Hearing the news, many colleagues rushed to visit Phuoc Sang. People's Artist Hong Van looked at her close friend emotionally and said he promised to get well soon so she could rest assured. Phuoc Sang was still weak but still recognized his colleagues.

Artist Phuoc Sang suffered three strokes, most recently in March 2024, and was treated at the Cardiology Emergency Department of Thong Nhat Hospital (HCMC). For many years, he has lived with high blood pressure and some post-stroke sequelae.

Last April, Phuoc Sang participated in filming for the movie Getting Rich with Ghosts 2: Diamond War with a guest role as a camera shop owner, Mr. Nhay's friend (played by Hoai Linh).

The film crew took him to the filming location in Ho Chi Minh City, filming for about a day.

When director Trung Lun invited him, Phuoc Sang hesitated because of his poor health and fear of affecting the overall progress of the film crew. In the end, he agreed because he wanted to meet his close friend - artist Hoai Linh.

During filming, Phuoc Sang had difficulty walking and needed help going up and down stairs, so Trung Lun arranged for staff to be on duty to take care of him when needed.

Due to the after-effects of a stroke, Phuoc Sang's memory has declined significantly and he has difficulty remembering lines. Trung Lun and Hoai Linh patiently guided him through each line.

Among them, the film Ao Lua Ha Dong produced by his film company won the audience's choice award at the Busan International Film Festival, Korea.

In October 2012, Phuoc Sang suffered a business loss and was in debt for billions of dong because he invested money in real estate. At the end of that year, his ex-wife, actress Kim Thu, announced their divorce.

After this shock, he almost disappeared, only returning to showbiz around 2020.
