Known for starring in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" opposite Zhang Ziyi, 36, Chow Yun-Fat, 60, does not seem to age, and some fans say he may be a vampire. Even his "From Vegas to Macau 3" co-star Andy Lau, 54, has nothing but praises for his youthfulness and fitness.
Donning a black blazer matched with rolled-up jeans, Lau told the reporters how he envies Chow's look at the "From Vegas to Macau 3" gala premiere at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on Jan. 31, Sunday.
"He is looking better and better," Asia One quoted Lau as saying. "Now he should fatten up. He's making the rest of us look bad."
Chow and Lau reunited in "From Vegas to Macau 3," which was directed by Wong Jing and Andrew Lau. Their co-stars include Shawn Yue, Andrew Dasz, Charles Heung, Sally Victoria Benson, Nick Cheung, Carina Lau and "Gangnam Style" rapper Psy, among others.
Born in Lamma Island, Hong Kong in 1955, Chow made his acting debut on the small screen in 19745. He had his first film role in the 1976 movie "Learned Bride Thrice Fools the Bridegroom."
Like Zhang, Chow did not reprise his role in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny," which starred Michelle Yeoh, Donnie Yen and Harry Shum Jr. Currently, Chow is filming "Cold War 2."
Directed by Lok Man Leung and Luk Kim-Ching, "Cold War 2" is an action crime sequel that stars Chow with Dasz, Aaron Kwok, Tony Ka Fai Leung, Eddie Peng and Charlie Leung. Jackie Chan's "Skiptrace" co-star Temur Mamisashvili will also be in the cast as a bomb squad officer.
On the other hand, Zhang is set to star in "East/West." Along with Tory Metzger, David Linde, Ling Lucas and director Jason Winer, she will produce the cross-cultural comedy, which will be written by Adrian Wenner and Ethan Sandler, Deadline reported.
