Animal abuse on set

In March 2018, a video surfaced showing a dog being abused on the set of the Hao-directed movie Crazy Alien. In the video, the dog was shown being spun around in a cage and dumped into cold water.[2] The video was taped by a member of the movie crew.[3] TMZ reported a representative of the movie saying there had been a design flaw with the suspended cage and that it had twice fallen into the water being completely submerged after spinning out of control;[4] a whistleblower claimed that between shots, the dog was worked into a frenzy so he would bark as loudly as possible, and that this had been done on several takes.[5][6] The director did not give a statement, but Crazy Alien actor Matthew Morrison said he was heartbroken about the abuse.[7]

Personal life

Ning Hao is married to Xing Aina, who is credited as a screenwriter in all his films since Guns and Roses and No Man's Land. They have a son together.
