Recent Photos of 70-Year-Old Chow Yun-fat Running Spark Concerns Over His Weight Loss
Renowned actor Chow Yun-fat is known for his down-to-earth lifestyle and frequent exercise in Hong Kong's streets and hiking trails. Recently, a netizen shared photos of him running on Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book), showing him in his signature all-black sportswear and appearing very approachable. However, attention quickly turned to his physique, with netizens noting his thinness, sunken cheeks, and visible wrinkles, expressing concern for his health and observing he looks older than before.
In the comments section, netizens bluntly stated: "Fat Gor (Chow Yun-fat) is too thin, he looks a bit haggard," "Running at an older age really makes your face sag," "I feel like running isn't really suitable for him in this state, he's lost too much muscle, he should be building muscle instead, he's lost too much muscle mass," and some even commented that he "looks a bit old, and his muscles aren't as strong as before," lamenting that Fat Gor "is aging too quickly."
In fact, Fat Gor is 70 years old this year and has been passionate about running and marathon training in recent years, becoming a well-known fitness enthusiast in the entertainment industry. He not only insists on morning runs every day but has also actively participated in marathons in recent years, demonstrating admirable perseverance.
As a regular marathon participant, Fat Gor was promoted to running coach this year, personally leading Liu Jiang (79 years old), Pau Hei-jing (76 years old), and Zheng Zeshi (74 years old) to challenge a 10km race. This silver-haired team successfully crossed the finish line in 2 hours, 00 minutes, and 23 seconds. He also showcased his humorous side, jokingly saying he wants to keep running until he's 120 years old.
While some netizens are worried about his overly slender physique, others believe it's the result of long-term aerobic exercise and praise Fat Gor for his self-discipline and energetic spirit.
