Yang Yang, the handsome mainland Chinese actor, has made a comeback after two years of silence, thanks to his starring role in “Immortality” gaining popularity once again. Recently, during the “Golden Week” holiday, he went abroad for vacation and shared many makeup-free vacation photos on Weibo, which unexpectedly sparked discussions among fans about his cracked phone case.
On October 9th, Yang Yang posted on Weibo, “long time no SEA,” along with multiple relaxed vacation photos by the seaside. With his bedhead hairstyle and makeup-free face, many fans praised him as a “real handsome guy unafraid of bare face.”
As Yang Yang often takes selfies with his phone, netizens noticed that his phone case was getting more cracked each day. Some even pointed out a “timeline of breakage,” noting that it cracked halfway a few days ago and completely shattered by the time he posted the bedhead makeup-free photos. Fans’ attention shifted from his bare face to the cracked phone case, with the hashtag “Yang Yang’s phone case cracking more each day” trending.
Some fans dug up previous photos and found that Yang Yang seems attached to this “battle-damaged version” phone case. From the airport to TV show appearances, his phone case of the same model with growing cracks was repeatedly spotted, showing a trend of “gradually deepening” cracks.
Netizens jokingly commented, “Did this case accompany you through all your journey?” “The cracks are more numerous than my final thesis.” Some older fans curiously asked, “What happened to this boy? He finally takes a break, and his phone case cracks, and he bruises his knee.”
Having debuted in the TV drama “Dream of the Red Chamber,” Yang Yang rose to fame with the leading role in the idol drama “Love O2O.” However, after starring in “My Firework Life” in 2023, he went “missing” for two years, and his popularity plummeted.
For his role as “Han Li” in “Immortality,” Yang Yang lost 20 kilograms and personally performed most of the action scenes, incorporating his dance background seamlessly into moves like Luo Yan Step and sword-flying, making his performance fluid and natural without any slow-motion effects. The drama received overwhelming praise after airing, with keywords like “entertaining,” “film quality,” becoming common praises. Yang Yang’s acting, action scenes, and lines have been well-received by the audience.
Behind his impressive achievements, Yang Yang silently endures the pain of recurring old injuries. In the past few years while filming, he faced multiple accidents, being accidentally hit by a heavy cable on the foot and scratched by an axe on his face, leaving a scar to this day.
In August, Yang Yang revealed in an interview that one morning, he woke up feeling strange in his left foot and was diagnosed with “impact complex of the hip joint.” After surgery and the implantation of three absorbable bone screws, the postoperative situation was not optimistic. His left leg was almost immobile, causing muscle atrophy. He wryly mentioned that his left leg became noticeably thinner than his right leg, and the road to recovery seems to be a lifelong journey.
