In the entertainment industry, there are many stars who will be compared by the audience. Because they are all relatively hot actors, whether it is age, status, acting skills, achievements, etc., netizens will subconsciously make comparisons.
The famous Hong Kong actors Chow Yun-fat and Yam Dahua are both 68 years old this year, and the gap between the two of them can be said to be clear at a glance.
Chow Yun-fat is 68 years old and maintains a good habit of exercising
Chow Yun-fat, who is 68 years old this year, rarely appears on the screen, and only occasionally appears in some works, but most of the time Chow Yun-fat is used for sports.
Not only does Chow Yun-fat have a good habit of mountaineering, but Chow Yun-fat also participates in some marathon activities.
On 12 February 2023, Hong Kong hosted the largest marathon in history, and Chow Yun-fat also participated in the 10km race and completed it in 63 minutes and 58 seconds.
This result can be ranked in the top 30% of the competition, and it seems that Chow Yun-fat is getting stronger and stronger.
However, he later revealed that he had been practicing for the competition for more than a year, and this was not the first time Chow Yun-fat had participated in an official competition.
Two days ago, Chow Yun-fat completed the half marathon in two hours, 26 minutes and 8 seconds.
It can be seen that Chow Yun-fat, who participated in the marathon, is full of tendon meat, and he does not have the appearance of sagging skin and no sense of line in old age.
On the contrary, he looks very healthy and powerful, and he greets the fans generously when he is enthusiastic outside.
However, Chow Yun-fat still looks a little thin, because he has diabetes, so Chow Yun-fat is also very controlled in terms of diet, plus daily exercise, so Chow Yun-fat looks thin.
Chow Yun-fat, as an actor, does not rely on the old like some stars, but has become an athlete, no wonder he is loved by so many people.
Chow Yun-fat also said that if he can complete the half marathon in two hours, then he will try to challenge the full marathon.
My dream is also to be like Forrest Gump in "Forrest Gump", running all over the world until he is 90 years old.
Ren Dahua is still active in the cinema
Unlike Chow Yun-fat, who is committed to the fitness career, Ren Dahua is still active in the front line of the entertainment industry. The actors who participated in the blockbusters directed by big directors are all very well-known.
In 2023 alone, Ren Dahua will have eight movies released, including "Disconnected", "The Lights", "Eyeing the Tiger", "Sneaking", "Zero Chase", "The Legend of Chang'an", "Goldfinger" and other eight movies.
It seems that Ren Dahua is still very passionate about the career of actors, in addition to producing many high-quality movies, Ren Dahua is also very dedicated in the filming process.
During the filming of "Pursuit of Zero", Ren Dahua, as the leading actor in the play, had a lot of action martial arts scenes.
If you want to present the most realistic action scenes in the movie, then the actors have to be real guns.
The 68-year-old Ren Dahua is very dedicated in this regard, even if his martial arts are not proficient, but he still fights in person. When he was beaten, he was also "fisted to the flesh", which vividly interpreted the essence of Hong Kong-made action movies.
When he slapped himself and hit his head against the wall, Ren Dahua showed the best effect, and he slapped himself very hard.
I have to say that Ren Dahua's achievements in the film industry are all achieved by his own efforts.
But unlike Chow Yun-fat, both of them are 68 years old, Ren Dahua looks more vicissitudes, perhaps because of his white beard.
makes Ren Dahua look a little older, because the movies he starred in are also some action suspense and other films, so Ren Dahua doesn't look as energetic as Chow Yun-fat.
When he was photographed by netizens, he was even a little hunchbacked, and he looked completely haggard and old.
Different directions, different lives
Ren Dahua's wife is Hong Kong supermodel Qiqi, the two got married in 1997 and gave birth to a very beautiful daughter.
Ren Dahua is a well-known favorite wife in the entertainment industry, and he loves his wife and daughter very much.
When participating in some off-screen activities, when netizens took photos with beautiful women, Ren Dahua was a very gentleman.
In addition, Ren Dahua is also a well-known "king of buildings", after having certain assets, he has bought his own houses in many places, and there are more than 30 houses under his name.
Ren Dahua, who is now 68 years old, is still engaged in the profession he loves, and his family is also very happy.
Chow Yun-fat, who chooses to do fitness exercises that he loves, is also keen on charity in addition to participating in various marathon activities.
Perhaps because he was too poor in his early years, Chow Yun-fat has been doing his best to help poor families.
As early as 2018, Chow Yun-fat revealed in an interview that he and his wife planned to donate all their wealth of HK$5.6 billion to charity.
Chow Yun-fat himself only spends HK$800 a month, and he never buys some luxury goods in pursuit of luxury.
In Chow Yun-fat's view, money is not the source of happiness, and money is not just his, he only keeps it temporarily.
Whether it is Chow Yun-fat or Yam Dahua, both of them are engaged in what they love very much. In this regard, it is not possible to judge good or bad, and two people have different pursuits and do different things.
There will be different pursuits, perhaps because the experiences of the two in their early years have brought them different influences.
The same poor early life
Chow Yun-fat and Yam Dahua's influence in the Hong Kong circle can be said to be very large, but even the two people with such high achievements had a very poor experience in their early years.
Chow Yun-fat was born in a rural family, and his parents were both hard-working people at the bottom of society.
Even though life is very poor, Chow Yun-fat's father is still addicted to gambling.
So Chow Yun-fat's mother can only support her four children on her own, and Chow Yun-fat will also be very sensible to help her mother do odd jobs, and hates gambling very much.
Because of the family's predicament, Chow Yun-fat could not complete his studies, so he could only come out early to work to subsidize the family.
By chance, Chow Yun-fat went to apply for a TV actor training class with his friends, and Chow Yun-fat, who was appreciated by the examiners, also successfully entered the entertainment industry.
Although he could only play tricks at the beginning, with his own efforts, Chow Yun-fat soon had the opportunity to play some roles.
Ren Dahua's family was also very poor in his early years, his father died early because of work, and Ren Dahua's mother also raised her three children by herself.
The children of the poor are in charge of the family early, and Ren Dahua will also help his mother make some handicrafts to make up for the family.
Because his father died early, Ren Dahua was also bullied by children of the same age.
Ren Dahua also suffered these things silently in order not to worry his family.
When he was in middle school, Ren Dahua began to work part-time as a model.
Because the money earned by models can pay their own tuition fees and buy books, Ren Dahua works very hard when he is a model and shoots advertisements.
It is also by virtue of his identity as a model that Ren Dahua successfully entered the entertainment industry.
Perhaps it is precisely because of these experiences in the early years that Chow Yun-fat and Ren Dahua can work hard in the entertainment industry and constantly improve themselves, so they can have today's achievements.
Still pursuing their passions
It is precisely because of these early experiences that the gap between the two people is so obvious now.
But the influence and classic works brought by the two people in the entertainment industry have a long history, even if they fade out of the screen, powerful people will not be forgotten by the audience.
Chow Yun-fat's goal is to become the next "Forrest Gump", constantly breaking through himself in the marathon to challenge more possibilities.
Ren Dahua hopes to shoot more good works, in order to present the best art, which is why many people will choose to support it after watching the introduction of the movie and finding that it is Ren Dahua who starring.
Epilogue:
The classic roles brought to you by the two old drama bones are still very unforgettable.
I also hope that Chow Yun-fat can fulfill his dream and maintain a healthy body.
I look forward to Ren Dahua, who has a bumper harvest in his family and career, to bring better works and bring greater surprises to the audience.
