Dear readers, welcome to stay tuned for updates from Mok. Today we will introduce you to a former kung fu superstar, an actor who rose to prominence in the golden age of Hong Kong cinema. He is Samuel Hung.
It is hard to believe that he once weighed more than 100 kilograms. However, a photo from 2020 is eye-popping. His face is clear-cut, and there is no fat on his neck. Only skin is left. This slimming mystery has attracted widespread attention.
But what is even more worrying is that in recent years, photos taken by netizens show that Hong Jinbao has had to rely on a wheelchair to go out.
This has sparked speculation about what made the former kung fu superstar so different. Some speculate that he may be sick, but what exactly does it take to make someone lose more than 25kg in just one year?
Mr. Hung was a shining star of the golden age of Hong Kong cinema in the 1980s. He helped bring Hong Kong cinema to its peak with kung fu stars such as Jackie Chan and Jet Li. His family background is also unusual. He was born into a film family. His grandfather Hong Ji and grandmother Qian Siying both left a strong mark on the history of Chinese cinema. This family background undoubtedly laid a solid foundation for Hong Jinbao’s acting career.
Hong Jinbao has been passionate about filming and kung fu since childhood. As a child, he entered the Peking Opera class of the China Academy of Drama to study. Among his classmates were many later kung fu superstars, such as Jackie Chan and Yuan Biao. And Hong Jinbao, as the oldest one, became the first person to set foot in the entertainment industry. At the age of 12, he entered the film industry as a child star. He began to participate in martial arts dramas at the age of 18. In his 20s, he has become a leading actor. Such achievements are no easy feat for a young person.
However, Samuel Hung’s career has not been smooth sailing. He once challenged Bruce Lee, but before he could stretch out his foot, Bruce Lee’s leg was already resting on his face.
The unexpected death of Bruce Lee scattered the martial artists who had followed him. For his own career, Hong Jinbao established the Hong Family Class. This group has trained many famous actors, including Jackie Chan, Afternoon Horse, Qian Jiale, etc. The most famous of them is Lin Zhengying. He became famous with "Mr. Zombie", and Hong Family Class also officially entered the Hong Kong film industry.
However, time is not forgiving. With the rise of the Internet, old-fashioned Hong Kong films have gradually been phased out by the times, and Hong Jinbao has gradually faded from the public eye. Although he directed and starred in a film "My Agent Grandpa" in 2016, his results are far worse than that of the year. He admits that he has not kept up with the changes of the times and feels like an old man who has been abandoned by the times.
In 2017, Samuel Hung underwent knee surgery. His knee problems have long been bothering him. After the surgery, the doctor advised him to lose about 25 kilograms of weight. Therefore, we have seen many photos of him on crutches or in a wheelchair in recent years. Samuel Hung follows the doctor’s advice very well. In general, he uses a wheelchair, and only in formal settings does he use crutches.
Photographs from 2020 show that Samuel Hung’s weight loss results are quite remarkable. He looks refreshed and in a good mood. However, in the past two years, he seems to have gained weight again. Some people have begun to wonder whether his illness caused the sharp weight loss. After all, a person’s sudden weight loss in a short period of time is often a sign of physical problems.
In fact, it was not out of the blue that Samuel Hung began to consciously control his weight after knee surgery. However, for the former kung fu superstar, his body has suffered too much damage, which may be the price of time.
Samuel Hung, a former screen star, is now old and away from the big screen. However, his classics will live on forever, and we hope he can take care of his body and have a wonderful time
Old age.
At this prime age, Samuel Hung may no longer be active in front of the screen, but his brilliance still illuminates the film industry. Countless audiences still miss his classic martial arts scenes and funny performances.
His works have long transcended the time of generations of audiences, becoming immortal classics that will forever remain in the pages of film history.
We cannot predict the future of Samuel Hung. Perhaps he will continue to be active in the entertainment industry in other ways, or he may choose to enjoy a peaceful retirement. Either way, his contributions and legends will always be remembered, and his story will continue to inspire a new generation of actors and audiences.
In the end, Samuel Hung’s experience tells us that time leaves its mark on everyone, but no matter what, we should cherish our health, fight against adversity, and embrace every stage of life. Samuel Hung was the "flexible fat man", and now he is the eternal kung fu superstar in our hearts.
