Hong Kong action legend Sammo Hung joins son for livestream sales despite mobility issues (VIDEO)

In a recent livestream sales session held in Guangzhou, China, veteran Hong Kong action star Sammo Hung, 74, demonstrated his continued activity despite facing mobility challenges. Accompanied by his eldest son, Timmy Hung, Sammo could be seen navigating an electric wheelchair during the event. He emphasized the importance of "health and happiness" in life to the viewers.

Following the session, Sammo proceeded to sign autographs for fans, showcasing his connection with the audience. Just a month prior, fans had spotted him on a holiday in Hangzhou, where he appeared in good spirits and interacted with fans.

Sammo Hung is renowned for his roles in Hong Kong action films, having pursued a career that spans over six decades. His journey began at the young age of 12 when he made his acting debut in the 1961 film Education of Love. In 1977, he directed his first movie, the action-comedy Iron-Fisted Monk. However, years of physically demanding stunts had taken a toll on his body, leading to numerous injuries throughout his career.

In 2017, Sammo underwent knee surgery, and since then, he has worked at a slower pace. Despite his mobility issues, he has been seen using an electric wheelchair on multiple occasions, as evidenced by social media posts shared by his son. When asked about his continued work in 2024, Sammo humorously replied, "Perhaps I was an ox in my previous life. I feel most comfortable when I'm working."
