5 Hong Kong celebrities who look amazing at age 60: Tony Leung, Stephen Chow, Rosamund Kwan, Pansy Ho and Alex To all hit the milestone birthday in 2022 – but aren’t showing it a bit
- Rosamund Kwan starred in Once Upon a Time in China opposite Jet Li, while comic hero Stephen Chow is most famous for God of Cookery, King of Comedy and Shaolin Soccer
- Tony Leung was last seen in Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, but cemented his credibility with a best actor gong at Cannes for Wong Kar-wai’s In the Mood for Love
Turning 60 is clearly a significant milestone in life. In Chinese culture it marks a complete life cycle of traditional astrology – a journey of all five elements around the 12 zodiac animal signs – while it’s also a common age for retirement in many countries.
Yet with modern healthcare, eating well and staying fit, and perhaps the latest aesthetic treatments, it’s not difficult to maintain a youthful look and be full of energy while still pursuing a fruitful career well into your seventh decade.
It may come as a shock, but the five following Hong Kong celebrities were all born in 1962 and so are celebrating their 60th birthday this year.
Rosamund Kwan Chi-lam
In an acting career spanning more than three decades, her most recognised role is probably the “13th aunt” in the Once Upon a Time in China series, beginning in 1991, where she played a modern woman who accompanies martial art hero Wong Fei-hung, portrayed by Jet Li.
While she has not appeared in films for more than 10 years, she can occasionally be seen in mainland reality shows, e-commerce live-streaming, product launches and charity events.
