  • Rosamund Kwan starred in Once Upon a Time in China opposite Jet Li, while comic hero Stephen Chow is most famous for God of Cookery, King of Comedy and Shaolin Soccer
  • Tony Leung was last seen in Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, but cemented his credibility with a best actor gong at Cannes for Wong Kar-wai’s In the Mood for Love

Turning 60 is clearly a significant milestone in life. In Chinese culture it marks a complete life cycle of traditional astrology – a journey of all five elements around the 12 zodiac animal signs – while it’s also a common age for retirement in many countries.

Yet with modern healthcare, eating well and staying fit, and perhaps the latest aesthetic treatments, it’s not difficult to maintain a youthful look and be full of energy while still pursuing a fruitful career well into your seventh decade.

It may come as a shock, but the five following Hong Kong celebrities were all born in 1962 and so are celebrating their 60th birthday this year.

The stunning former actress comes from an acting family and her father Kwan Shan was a famous Shaw Brothers star. She first appeared in ATV soap opera Agency 24 in 1981 and soon moved onto films.

In an acting career spanning more than three decades, her most recognised role is probably the “13th aunt” in the Once Upon a Time in China series, beginning in 1991, where she played a modern woman who accompanies martial art hero Wong Fei-hung, portrayed by Jet Li.

While she has not appeared in films for more than 10 years, she can occasionally be seen in mainland reality shows, e-commerce live-streaming, product launches and charity events.
