Hong Kong star Michael Miu, 68, recently shared a high-intensity workout video on social media, showcasing his remarkable physical condition and muscular “dragon arm” that far surpasses others his age, sparking attention and discussion.
In the video, Miu is seen running outdoors under the scorching sun, engaging in heavy battle ropes training, and high-intensity boxing. Swinging the battle ropes, he squats, exerts full body strength, and his muscle definition in the arms and shoulders is extremely prominent. His punches are swift and precise, displaying agility and explosiveness that rivals that of younger individuals. In his post, he wrote, “Continuing to burn fat,” demonstrating his strong determination and perseverance in managing his physique.
The video has garnered praise from netizens, with comments like, “68-year-old Michael Miu turned a less than a minute training video into the start of an action movie.” Celebrities and family members within the industry have also interacted, with actress Jessica Hsuan joking about his intense training, and actor Vincent Wong teasing that he could still compete in the Mr. Hong Kong pageant. Miu’s daughter, Phoebe Miu, also praised him as a “nice dad.” Many netizens have expressed admiration and awe at how Miu’s physical fitness at 68 may outshine that of many younger individuals.
Throughout the decades, Miu has maintained his physique through consistent fitness routines, boxing, and golf, as well as a healthy lifestyle. Currently residing in Canada with his wife, Jaime Chik, and enjoying semi-retirement, Miu adopts a relaxed approach by selectively taking on acting projects only when suitable scripts or work opportunities arise, occasionally traveling back to Hong Kong for filming.
Despite nearing 70, Miu remains a top choice for many investors seeking leading male actors. In the April broadcast of the series “The Ghouls Case Files,” Miu once again starred as the male lead. Despite the age gap between his actual age and the character Du Kaibin’s age in the series, viewers have provided positive feedback without experiencing any sense of dissonance. His natural and relaxed acting style allows the audience to seamlessly connect with the character, showcasing his impressive acting skills and unique on-screen charisma.
Graduating from the TVB Artist Training Academy in 1980, Miu, alongside Andy Lau, Tony Leung, Ray Lui, and Kent Tong, was part of the “Five Tigers” group. His portrayal of Yang Kang in the 1983 series “The Legend of the Condor Heroes” remains one of his most iconic roles from his early career.
