Netizens Can’t Believe Andy Lau Is 12 Years Older Than This 48-Year-Old Chinese Comedian
They were both born in the Year of the Ox but Andy is one whole Chinese zodiac cycle older than Guo Degang.
They were both born in the Year of the Ox but Andy is one whole Chinese zodiac cycle older than Guo Degang.
Hongkong Heavenly King Andy Lau is one of those lucky folks who seems to have uncovered the elusive fountain of youth.
The star turns 60(!) in September this year, but he looks like he has barely aged a day since the early ‘90s.
Oh, and he has also never been out of shape throughout his entire 40-year career.
Recently, netizens posted a pic of Andy with renowned Chinese comedian Guo Degang that really shows just what an amazing job the former is doing at keeping himself fit, fab, and looking nowhere near senior citizen status.
In the photo, which was said to be taken at a dinner gathering, Andy and Degang, who is one of China's most famous xiang sheng (crosstalk) performers, are seen posing very casually and comfortably with one another, looking like close friends who are around the same age.
However, it was pointed out that Degang is actually 48 years old, which makes him 12 years younger than Andy.
In other words, they were both born in the Year of the Ox, but Andy is one whole Chinese zodiac cycle older than Degang, even though even though he doesn’t look like it at all.
As you can probably imagine, netizens were shocked at the unexpected age difference.
Comments included: “I thought they were around the same age”, “Oh my god, Andy is actually so much older than Degang”, and “So who’s actually the one that’s 12 years older?”.
One also quipped, “Not only does Degang look 12 years older than Andy, his head is also twice the size of Andy’s.”
Hey, come on, we think it’s pretty unfair to compare anyone to Andy like that.
Andy is known to follow a very strict vegetarian diet. He stopped eating meat in 2013 and his wife Carol Chu and their nine-year-old daughter Hanna are both vegetarians too. Andy has also sworn off cold drinks for over 30 years.
Guess we all know what do if we ever want to look as good as him when we’re his age.
