CHINESE action star Wu Jing charmed fans when he was spotted enjoying a holiday in Kuala Lumpur with his wife Xie Nan and their two sons.
Sin Chew Daily reported that the 52-year-old actor stayed on in Malaysia after receiving the Outstanding Achievement in Cinema Award at the 9th Malaysia International Film Festival and Golden Global Awards last Saturday.
The family was seen at Sungei Wang Plaza and Central Market where Wu, dressed casually in a white T-shirt and cap, happily posed for photos with fans.
Netizens were also quick to notice the actor’s affectionate gestures towards Xie.
While waiting for their car, Wu was seen standing beside his wife, placing a hand on her shoulder and the back of her neck before ushering her into the vehicle.
Fans praised him for being a caring husband behind his tough on-screen persona.
Xie, 43, also met Malaysian actress Lee Sinje during the trip and made a surprise appearance in a livestream with her.
Wu is known for directing and starring in two Wolf Warrior movies.
He also starred in 2019’s The Wandering Earth and his latest film Blades of the Guardians.

Fan, 27, rushed to the scene and alerted emergency services while his wife stopped passing vehicles to seek more help.

“I’m proud of him,” she said, adding that she admired his instinct to help others in danger.
