You've got to hand it to Chrissie when it comes to her fans

There must be benefits, but it can't be easy either to be Chrissie Chau Sau-na's boyfriend. The model-turned-actress' widely admired assets seem to be attracting fans from afar. Her latest and one of her most prominent fans is Rio Ferdinand, captain of the England football team.

Chau said they met through a social networking website. Ferdinand recently opened an account on Weibo, the Chinese Twitter, but is following only Chau. Chau confirmed the news at a Guess jewellery launch on Monday at the brand's Causeway Bay store, where she and her Marriage With a Liar co-star, Law Chung-him, were booked for the promotion.

'Yeah, we are friends and I asked him to open a Weibo account,' Chau said. 'He'll probably come to Hong Kong in May and I can show him around then.'

If that wasn't enough to set hair stylist boyfriend Avis Chan on fire with jealousy, she added: 'It's very sweet when a guy puts a necklace around your neck,' as Law helped her with the latest Guess jewellery and watches. 'My boyfriend's hands are busy cutting hair, but Rio can help because he kicks balls with his feet.'
