'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.

Stella Rimington, Britain's first female spy chief, dies aged 90, World News

LONDON — Stella Rimington, the first female director general of Britain's MI5 security and counter-intelligence service who ushered in an era of greater transparency at the agency, has died aged 90. Rimington, who ran the domestic security agency between 1992 and 1996, was its first head to be publicly named and later wrote a memoir Open Secret about her career at the formerly secretive organisation. She went on to write a series of espionage novels and is also widely thought to have inspired actor Judy Dench's tough but playful characterisation of the fictional spymaster 'M' in several James Bond movies. "She died surrounded by her beloved family and dogs and determinedly held on to the life she loved until her last breath," a family statement quoted by local media said. Rimington was given one of the British state's highest honours when she was made a dame in 1996. She joined MI5 in 1969 and worked in roles including counter-subversion and counter-terrorism. Under her leadership MI5 took a more prominent role in Britain's fight against Irish republican militants, according to a profile on the MI5 website. "As the first avowed female head of any intelligence agency in the world, Dame Stella broke through long-standing barriers and was a visible example of the importance of diversity in leadership," current MI5 Director General Ken McCallum said in a statement. She committed the agency to a more transparent approach to its work, softening its post-Cold War image. "We are, of course, obliged to keep information secret in order to be effective, this is not to say that we should necessarily be a wholly secret organisation," she said in a publicly broadcast 1994 lecture. "Secrecy is not imposed for its own sake. It is not an end in itself." Foreshadowing her later literary career, Rimington opened that same speech with a nod to the British spy novel tradition and the fascination with the security services it had inspired among the general public. "It is exciting stuff and has led to the creation of many myths — and some lurid speculation — about our work. I must admit that it is with some hesitation that I set out tonight to shed some daylight," she said. "I have a sneaking feeling that the fiction may turn out to be more fun than the reality."
