Brunei-born singer-actor Wu Chun got to bask in the Olympic spirit with his family.
The 44-year-old star, who is part of the now-inactive Taiwanese boy band Fahrenheit, posted photos on social media that showed him and his Bruneian wife Lin Liying, 13-year-old daughter Shayna (also known as Neinei) and 10-year-old son Max in Paris, France, enjoying the Olympic Games.
He shared pictures and videos of his family on a one-week trip to the French capital on Aug 4 on Weibo to catch basketball, table tennis and tennis matches.
Wu wrote: “There were disappointments and laughter in our seven-day trip to the Olympics. This is the magic of sports. The biggest reward for us was that Max and Xinyi (Shayna’s Chinese name) got to experience the sporting spirit here, where dreams and attitude outshine everything else.”
He also made a similar post on his Instagram on Aug 8, and shared several more photos of his family. They include one of them enjoying a meal in what looks to be a boat along the River Seine by the Musee d’Orsay museum and another of him and his son at the Eiffel Tower.
An avid fan of Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal, Wu previously posted about watching the Olympic match between Nadal and Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic with his family. The men’s singles match on July 29 marked the 60th and possibly last match between the tennis rivals.
In a video posted to Instagram on July 30, Wu called the match the greatest gift the Paris Olympics gave to tennis fans. Djokovic was the eventual winner.
Wu also caught Nadal play in the men’s doubles with Spanish teammate Carlos Alcaraz.
The China-based artiste also took his family to support China’s Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha, the pairing that beat North Korea’s Ri Jong Sik and Kim Kum Yong, in the table tennis mixed doubles final on July 30. He posted a video on Weibo documenting the experience on the same day. – The Straits Times/Asia News Network
