Siu-Ho has since moved back to Hongkong for about half a year now, and has no plans to work in China in the near future.
He worries about having to go through another lockdown, which would result in him not being able to return to Hongkong. Also, his parents are now in their 80s, and he can't bear to be apart from them for too long.
“The weather has been very hot recently and [I’m] worried that I will get a heart attack when filming outdoor scenes. I have high blood pressure, so I need to cut down on sweet, salty, and fried food. I've been eating clean and drinking soup, so my skin has also gotten better,” said Siu-Ho, who also joked that he's more handsome now.
His popularity peaked in the '80s and early '90s thanks to his roles in numerous vampire movies, which were all the rage back then.
A few of his classic films include Mr Vampire (1985), New Mr. Vampire (1987), Vampire vs Vampire (1989) and The Ultimate Vampire (1991).
He is also known for starring in martial arts films such as Tai Chi Master (1993) and Fist of Legend (1994), alongside Jet Li. Of late, he has kept up with his target market, starring in 2017 horror comedy film Vampire Cleanup Department.
Earlier this week, the veteran star appeared at a press event in Hongkong for his upcoming film, Chan Wu Zhong Guo Meng, looking very different.
So different that many of his fans almost could not recognise him. And it's because of his drastic weight-loss.
Siu-Ho revealed that two years ago, after moving to Shanghai, he had to balance irregular work and rest hours.
On top of that, he did not have access to healthy meals, and as such, would only have one meal a day. At one point, he said he weighed 65kg, though he has gained 5kg since then.
When asked by the media if he was worried that eating so little would result in him not having the energy to shoot action sequences, he said: “Nowadays, when filming action movies, there are a lot less stunts to do as compared to the past. [I] just have to perform a few actions and strike a few poses.”
