HONG KONG, Jan 6 (AP) -- Hong Kong movie star Tony Leung Ka-fai was sentenced Friday to two months in jail for drunk driving after ramming his car into the back of a bus last year.

Leung, who had pleaded guilty to the charge, was also fined HK$10,000 (US$1,290; euro1,066) and was disqualified from driving for three years, according to a court document.

The jail sentence was to be suspended for three years, the document said.

The actor, 47, is best known to international audiences as "the Chinaman" in the 1992 romance "The Lover."

Leung was arrested last October, after his car hit a bus and a breathalyzer test showed that his blood-alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit, the document said.

He was arrested and fined for another drunk driving case in 2002.

The actor has won numerous acting awards. Recently he was nominated as best leading actor in the upcoming 42nd Golden Horse Film Festival -- the equivalent of the Oscars for Mandarin Chinese-language films -- for his role as a gangster in Hong Kong triad movie "Election."
