#SHOWBIZ: Fans worry as drained Jordan Chan outshone by youthful 65-year-old father-in-law

Hong Kong's singer-actor Jordan Chan, 59, and his wife Cherrie Ying, 43, are known for their significant age difference, often causing comparisons from fans. Recently, this comparison resurfaced when Cherrie's 65-year-old father, Jasper, shared photos of his 13-year-old grandson, Jordan's 13-year-old grandson, on Weibo. In a touching tribute, Jasper reflected on the passage of time, noting how ruthless time can be and how love can bring happiness.

However, social media users quickly shifted their attention from the emotional post to Jasper's youthful appearance, despite being six years older than Jordan. Many noted that Jasper looked remarkably fresh, sparking concern over Jordan's haggard state. This concern intensified after Cherrie posted a video of her husband backstage after a concert tour, where he appeared visibly frail, struggling to walk straight and requiring his wife's support.

Fans expressed worry as they pointed out how drained Jordan looked, with one commenter noting that he seemed around retirement age but was still working so hard. Jordan has previously stated that retirement is not an option for him, as he still needs to cover his sons' expensive education fees. The couple's six-year-old son, Hoho, attends a private international school in Hong Kong.
