Heavenly King Jacky Cheung, 59, isn’t just known for being a nice guy, he is very generous too. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, he has donated to charitable causes, lent his voice to charity concerts and has also released a song to pay tribute to frontline workers.

Most recently, Jacky appeared in a video to cheer on the residents of Hebei’s capital, Shijiazhuang, which is now under lockdown after a surge of new infections were reported.

However, the video, which featured a number of Chinese artistes as well as Eric Tsang, generated a fair bit of buzz on the internet, but not for the reasons you’d think.

While fans were thrilled to see the Jacky, who has kept a low profile in recent months, there were some who were taken aback by his “haggard” appearance, which resulted in less-than-kind comments about his grey beard, “glazed eyes”, “gaunt” cheeks, as well as how much he’s aged.

    “It is impossible for people to have an ageless appearance, commented one fan.

    Well, tell that to Andy Lau.
