On June 10th, Chinese actor Yang Zi (real name Yang Jianmin) shared a group photo on Weibo with Huang Xiaoming. In the caption, he wrote, “Today Brother Ming came for a visit, he has become fascinated with collecting art pieces, starting to wear all kinds of exquisite accessories!” In the photo, the two of them are posing together, but Yang Zi seems to have excessively used beauty filters and editing tools, sparking discussions and jokes among netizens.
From the shared photo, it appears that Yang Zi has altered his appearance with excessive beautifying effects to a point where he is hardly recognizable. Despite wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, his round belly is visibly protruding, suggesting a lack of body management, as he, at the age of 50, has entered middle-age weight gain.
After Yang Zi posted the photo with Huang Xiaoming, it stirred up discussions and teasing from netizens, advising him to tone down the exaggerated beauty effects and not to distort his own appearance.
On the other hand, Huang Xiaoming appeared in casual attire that day, wearing a denim jacket with long pants, presenting a simple and relaxed style. His physique looked sturdy and well-proportioned, with no sign of previous middle-aged weight gain. However, as mentioned by Yang Zi, Huang Xiaoming did appear to have added some decorative accessories, giving off a slightly flashy vibe.
In fact, in early April, Huang Xiaoming had shared before-and-after photos on Weibo showing a dramatic difference in weight gain and loss, shocking many netizens with an estimated difference of around 110 pounds. Netizens expressed that Huang Xiaoming is now back in his best form, with a slightly fuller face that adds more charm and sophistication, making him look handsome in the group photo with Yang Zi.
