Catherine Zeta-Jones

HK Golfer meets the Oscar-winning and golf club-wielding actress at the Mission Hills Star Trophy, a pro-celebrity event on China's Hainan Island

Would this be something you’d keep small or do you have plans for world domination?
Well it’ll be on stage but it can expand and, who knows, maybe they can put it on film. It’snameless at the moment so it’s just putting ideas into a melting pot and seeing how it goes. It would probably start in small venues around New York and America.

The last time you appeared in public was at the Ryder Cup in Wales. How big an event was that for you?
It was really important for Wales as a country, to put it on the map on a different level. Then to have a win, in Wales, was terrific. I did the opening speech and it was really wonderfully done – I was really proud of Wales. It’s like anything, like when Beijing had the Olympics, the whole world is watching and you always have to live up to what has come before, and it’s a strain for a small country like Wales. So I was really proud of how they pulled it all off.

You’ve been in China for a week, coming here to Hainan from Shanghai. Where to next?
I’ll from here go to Beijing for four days and I’ve been last week in Shanghai. It’s a bit like doing London in half a day – “Look! There’s Buckingham Palace!” – you can’t do everything you want to. But I came here and I wanted to feast and see as much of it as I could in the time that I had.
