They have three sons, Tin-Ming "Timmy" Hung (洪天明; born 1974), Tin Cheung "Jimmy" Hung (洪天祥; born 1977), Tin Chiu "Sammy" Hung (洪天照; born 1979), and a daughter, Chan Yu "Stephanie" Hung (洪煦榆; born 1983) with her. Hung divorced Jo in 1994.
- Hung came from a moviemaking family – is that why he went into films? According to an interview that Hung gave to the Hong Kong Film Archive, his maternal grandfather used to build film sets in Hong Kong, and his paternal grandfather Hung Chun-ho was a big producer who once had his own studio in Kowloon, but lost it gambling on the horses.
- Did he learn his kung fu at the China Drama Academy? Like most martial artists who began at opera schools, Hung trained himself in specific martial arts styles after he left.
- Did he make his name in the film industry before his school colleague Jackie Chan? Yes, he did. Hung appeared in his first film, Education of Love, in 1961 and began working as a stuntman while at the Academy, at the age of 14.
