Hong Kong’s “Comedy King” Stephen Chow, also known as “Siu Lam,” celebrated his 62nd birthday on the 22nd. His “Star Girl” Lin Yun sent her blessings on Weibo. However, what’s different this year is that she shared 9 handsome photos of Siu Lam, expressing that “many people have overlooked his looks because of his humor” and encouraged everyone to appreciate it.
This year marks the 9th consecutive year that Lin Yun has sent birthday wishes to her mentor Stephen Chow. She posted 9 photos of the young Stephen Chow on Weibo, along with the caption: “I saw a quote the other day, saying that many people have overlooked Siu Lam’s looks because of his humor, and I thought it made sense. So, I’ve gathered these handsome photos from around the web for everyone to appreciate, hoping you all remember that Stephen Chow is a handsome guy.” The post received many blessings from netizens for Stephen Chow.
Lin Yun, now 28 years old, participated in a talent show at the age of 18 with a friend. While her friend didn’t succeed, she stood out among 120,000 people and became the leading lady in Stephen Chow’s film, “The Mermaid.” The film became the box office champion in China that year with 3.3 billion yuan in ticket sales, and Lin Yun became an artist under Stephen Chow’s company “Star Brilliance.”
Lin Yun, who rose to fame immediately after her debut, continued to receive offers for commercials and roles in various films. Not only did she star in films like “Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back” and “The Mermaid 2” as the “Star Girl,” but she also frequently appeared in variety shows and TV dramas in mainland China. Therefore, she considers Stephen Chow as her “mentor,” and every year on June 22nd, she never forgets to wish him a happy birthday on Weibo.
