Chan dated Kathleen Poh for a brief period in 1993 before Poh moved to Singapore permanently.
In 2000, Chan co-founded Applause Pictures with Teddy Chen and Allan Fung.
The company's focus was on fostering ties with pan-Asian filmmakers, producing such films as Jan Dara by Thailand's Nonzee Nimibutr, One Fine Spring Day South Korea's Hur Jin-ho, Samsara by China's Huang Jianxin, The Eye by Danny and Oxide Pang.
Chan's 2005 film, the musical Perhaps Love closed the 2005 Venice Film Festival and was Hong Kong's entry for an Academy Awards nomination in the best foreign film category.
Perhaps Love became one of the year's top-grossing films in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and received a record 29 awards.
