Hong Kong actor Edison Chen, who lives in Los Angeles, California, with his wife – Chinese model Qin Shupei – and daughter recently shared a photo of the couple at a Los Angeles Lakers game, on Instagram.
The 40-year-old – who looks unrecognisable in the photo from all the roles he’s played on film – wrote in the caption: “LAST NIGHT WAS LIT!!!! LETS GO @lakers”.
While Chen’s intention with the photo might have been to record his excitement being at the game – which got 45k likes so far – it didn’t stop some netizens from zeroing in on how Chen looks in the photo.
According to a report by an online portal, netizens' comments touched on his “receding hairline” as well as “bald spots”, and that he now looks like “an uncle who drinks beer at 1pm with the rest of the neighbourhood uncles”.
The Infernal Affairs and Initial D actor – who is more focused on his fashion label these days than acting – was also “age-shamed” last year when he did a fashion shoot (see his Instagram post below).
The comments he got then were far from kind.
One reportedly said Chen was like “an uncle going to the park in the morning”, while another apparently wrote this, “I never thought there would be a day where I would be more stylish than Edison”.
