One of the participants of China Fashion Week shocked all the spectators with his appearance. And he proved that old age does not necessarily mean weakness, despondency and illness.
80-year-old Wang Deshun is challenging the stereotype that as you age, you need to give up the most interesting things in life. Participation in this fashion show made him an Internet sensation and a role model.
The actor, who amazed everyone with his excellent physical shape, began improving his body quite late: at the age of 50.
Today, he works out three hours a day and also constantly tries new things to keep his mind sharp.
“Believe me, everyone can reach their potential. As soon as thoughts come to you that it’s too late to do something, drive them away, don’t let them become your excuse for giving up on life. No one can block your path to success except yourself,” says Wang Deshun.
After participating in the fashion show, Wang Deshun became a new national attraction and was nicknamed "China's hottest grandfather."
“It’s not a matter of age,” says the 80-year-old actor and model. “Nature determines your age, but you determine your state of mind.”
In the movie The Forbidden Kingdom, Wang Deshun played the Jade Emperor.
