'Aaron Kwok's ageless style': Hong Kong singer dazzles admirers with his young build and vitality
HONG KONG: As reported by VnExpress, Hong Kong singer Aaron Kwok is making waves across social media platforms for his age-defying looks and muscular physique at 60.
Fans shared on Wednesday, the hashtag 'Aaron Kwok's ageless style,' which trended on Weibo after videos of the star performing at a recent concert and public event appearance, showing off his toned build and dynamic stage presence. Photo: Instagram/Aaron Kwok Strict workout and diet routine
U Lifestyle, a Hong Kong news outlet, shared that Kwok continuously captures audience's attention with his high-energy performances and polished choreography. According to the outlet, Kwok's stunning physical condition is thanks to a strict workout and diet routine maintained for decades.
According to Marie Claire, Aaron Kwok has been super disciplined about his weight for over 30 years, consistently staying under 65 kilos (which is about 143 pounds). He's also around 1.71 metres tall or about 5 foot 7. It sounds like he has high standards for himself and just won't let his weight exceed that limit. Kwok works out five times a week because his live shows are long, and he needs the energy to keep performing at a high level the whole time. It's all about building up that staying power for his concerts. Strong endurance
He said he needs to have strong endurance to sing and dance simultaneously. Tony Leung Ka Fai, who's also a Hong Kong actor, mentioned that when they were filming the movie Cold War back in 2012, he could hear Kwok running on a treadmill in the hotel room right next to his, at 4 a.m.!
Kwok also enjoys swimming and playing table tennis, besides running. Believing overly strenuous sessions can lead to burnout, he prefers moderate-intensity workouts. Kwok's philosophy is that you can't stop getting older, but living a healthy life can help your body stay strong and keep working well for longer. It's about caring for yourself to maintain your health as you age. Balanced diet
His diet is balanced without being overly restrictive. He cuts down on excessive oil, salt, and sugar. A typical morning starts with a Hong Kong-style bun and a cup of coffee, so even though Kwok is older than his early forties, he says that when he's up on stage performing, he feels like he's in his early 40s. It sounds like he's got a lot of energy and still feels young when doing what he loves.
Over the past few years, he has taken up calligraphy and painting, which have broadened his perspective. Kwok feels that learning and development have no boundaries and that self-improvement is a continuous process. Kwok has said that his family fills him up inside and gives his life a lot of meaning. He also mentioned that being a dad and husband brings him warmth, happiness, and a sense of being grounded. One of Four Heavenly Kings
Before becoming well-known as a singer and actor, Kwok started his career in entertainment as a professional dancer. He's part of this legendary group called the 'Four Heavenly Kings,' along with three other massive stars: Leon Lai, Andy Lau, and Jacky Cheung. They're the ultimate icons of the Hong Kong entertainment scene.
Based on a report by the South China Morning Post back in 2021, Kwok's estimated net worth was over US$20 million (S$27 million).
Aaron Kwok Fu-shing (郭富城), born on Oct 26, 1965, is a really big deal in Hong Kong. He's super popular as a singer, a dancer, and an actor.
Kwok started out as a dancer. It wasn't until later that he moved into acting and singing. He really became a household name after the movie Saviour of the Soul came out in 1991—that's what really put him on the map.

Hong Kong actor Peter Pang continues working to pay over US$40,000 cancer treatment costs
Hong Kong actor Peter Pang, who is currently battling stage three rectal cancer, has said that he will "keep working hard". The 54-year-old, who has been dubbed Hong Kong broadcaster TVB's "go-to villain" due to his many antagonistic TV drama roles, was diagnosed with cancer in July 2023 after doctors discovered a tumour about 5cm in size in his rectum. According to Hong Kong media outlets, Pang had to stop working to focus on his treatment and has since depleted his savings. TVB recently reported that Pang is now "tirelessly working" to cover the cost of his medical expenses, estimated at about 300,000 yuan (US$41,800). One of Pang's recent gigs was performing at a nightclub in mainland China, which Pang himself posted on his Xiaohongshu page. The event saw him being greeted by lines of fans as he entered the venue. In the video, Pang can be seen leading clubbers in singing Sky by the rock band Beyond. "I'm grateful that I can still use this body to perform for everyone. I'll keep working hard," wrote Pang in his post.

Casual French cooking in a garden setting at La Terrace
NEW RESTAURANT La Terrace by Claudine 39C Harding Road Singapore 249451 Tel: 8031 9935 Open daily: 5 pm to 12 am MAYBE we've been binge-watching TV, but we can't help thinking that if there were a restaurant version of a chaebol, Odette could well be the patriarch of one. Firstly, it's the all-powerful flagship – a three Michelin-starred name ceaselessly uttered with a sense of awe and worship. Then you have its firstborn, Claudine, complete with eldest child syndrome – working hard to continue the legacy while asserting its own identity. And now there's the youngest, La Terrace – playful, maybe a little lazy, riding on the family name because, really, it doesn't have anything to prove. As its name suggests, La Terrace literally sits in the backyard of Claudine – which already occupies a sweet spot amid the lush greenery of Dempsey Hill. A bright-red Claudine food truck is parked on the grass like it took a wrong turn after a hotdog delivery. Outdoor seating makes this great for dogs – just remember it's not your garden, so don't yell at any owners to scoop if their pets poop. It feels like a great place for breakfast or brunch but La Terrace only opens in the evenings, when you can enjoy the transition to dusk from the comfort of a conservatory dining room dressed in French country chic. The food plays second fiddle to the view – a window to nature with no man-made distractions. It's entry-level casual French fare, a practice run before you graduate to the 'real' food next door in Claudine's main dining room, and then – maybe – the hallowed halls of Odette. A NEWSLETTER FOR YOU Friday, 2 pm Lifestyle Our picks of the latest dining, travel and leisure options to treat yourself. Sign Up Sign Up Don't expect anything exciting. It's properly executed if pedestrian, and there isn't a lot of choice beyond a handful of hot and cold starters and just one main dish: French-style chicken rice. There's sourdough bread (S$8) but it's the butter, flavoured with iberico ham and topped with crispy salty sprinkles, that elevates it. If you're in the mood for oysters, they offer Normandy ones at S$8 a pop, topped with a sharp and salty shio kombu dressing. Service is slow or leisurely, depending on your interpretation. Just when we decide on 'slow', everything suddenly comes at once, like latecomers to a party who arrive all at the same time. We only have so much time before the fried stuff starts to soften, so we have to eat fast. Deep-fried zucchini flowers with cottage cheese dip. PHOTO: LA TERRACE Battered and deep-fried zucchini flowers (S$24) are heavy, but the crunch is worth it. They're fine on their own, or with a tangy cottage cheese dip. We'll pass on the shrimp toast (S$24) next time – chopped shrimp smothered in a 'curry' mayonnaise that's such a garish yellow, it must have a serial number rather than real turmeric. It doesn't help that the bun that it's stuffed into is toasted hard and dry. Shrimp in curry mayo dressing on toast. PHOTO: LA TERRACE A curl of octopus leg (S$32) is dependably resilient to cut, and comes in a romesco sauce that's pretty garden variety. And S$18 is what it costs for them to hand cut potatoes into thick sticks and deep-fry them – best if you can polish them off within five to 10 minutes, tops. Grilled octopus in romesco sauce.

PHOTO: JAIME EE, BT Most of the kitchen's effort goes into the solitary main course – half a roasted chicken (S$58), beautifully browned and tender on a bed of Japanese rice cooked in broth, served in a cast iron pot with some decent socarrat at the bottom. A rich chicken jus is poured over the rice, which is garnished with crispy bits of skin and soft roasted cloves of garlic. Squeeze out the garlic, mix with the rice and chicken, add a touch of extra sauce and you've justified your visit. Half a roasted chicken served with rice. PHOTO: LA TERRACE Stay for dessert, too. Its self-named 'pariterole' (S$14) is said to be a marriage of profiterole and Paris-Brest. It's like eating a giant Ferrero Rocher, with its crumbly nutty praline, filled with vanilla ice cream and studded with candied pecans. Madeleines (S$16) are fluffy little cake nuggets, served warm and dusted with powdered sugar. Pariteroles are a hybrid of profiterole and paris brest. PHOTO: JAIME EE, BT Baby madeleines dusted with powdered sugar. PHOTO: JAIME EE, BT If you want serious food, go next door. La Terrace isn't the most satisfying, but it serves its purpose well. It makes good use of a very nice space, and caters to a crowd that wants a bit of the Odette shine without a major investment. Call it a nepo baby if you like, but La Terrace succeeds without really trying. Rating: 6.5

I'm going to keep continuing.' Stage 3 cancer diagnosis Peter Pang received a tough diagnosis in July 2023: stage three rectal cancer. This meant he had to step away from work for a whole year to focus on getting treatment, which, understandably, plunged him into serious financial trouble. He's been open about it, sharing that he borrowed HK$500,000 (that's about SGD80,000) just to cover his medical bills and daily expenses, but unfortunately, that money has now run out. 'Without work, there's just no income coming in… My wife's doing her best, but it's really tough for her to manage everything by herself,' he explained. 'The money we borrowed is almost gone. If things keep going like this, we're not going to make it.' Even with all these tough challenges, Pang is staying optimistic. Full of energy He said, 'I want everyone to know that being sick doesn't mean I can't keep working. I'm still full of energy and ready to take on whatever comes. I've got this!' Peter Pang, currently 55 years old, began his acting career in 2003. Some of Pang's roles include When Heaven Burns, The Hidden Town 2, and Task Force. Born on August 20, 1970, Peter Pang is a Hong Kong actor with a long list of TV series and film credits to his name. He's also been in Fire Shoot (2021) and TV dramas such as Jie Jue Shi (2019), Let It Be Love (2012), Can't Buy Me Love (2010), and Survivor's Law (2003). Family comes first With a wife and three children depending on him, the former TVB star, Peter Pang, is really determined to get back to work. He's focused on starting to pay off the debts that accumulated, especially since his cancer diagnosis and the year he took off for treatment. He's been very open about the financial strain, emphasising that he's completely used up the money he borrowed and urgently needs to get back on his feet to support his family.
