Acting legend Chow Yun Fat was recently spotted jogging in Beijing’s Chaoyang Park by fans.
Those who encountered the 70-year-old star not only managed to take photos with him, but also found him warm and welcoming.
According to a report by Sin Chew, Chow displayed no airs and happily posed for solo and group pictures.
This isn’t unusual, as Chow has long been known to stop and take photos with fans during his runs in Hong Kong.
And it looks like he’s keeping up that tradition while in China.
The report added that he even jokingly told the fans: “If you take a photo, you must post it online.”
Unsurprisingly, his down-to-earth attitude has earned him even more admirers.
That said, Chow is known to be focused while running.
In this case, however, he had just finished his workout when the fans approached him.
He reportedly told them: “I’m almost done running. We can take photos now.”
It was when some fans said they wouldn’t post the photos online and wanted to keep them as personal mementos that Chow encouraged them to share the moments on social media.
