On 28/8, the actor posted a video of his workout on social media, stating his commitment to exercise and training to maintain muscle, endurance, and agility.
The phrase "Donnie Yen is over 60 and still so muscular" became a trending topic on Weibo. Fans commented, "Amazing muscles, I admire his discipline", "I've watched the video 10 times, he looks full of energy", and "His moves are impressive".
According to On, Yen maintains his weight at around 65 kg, carefully controlling his food and drink intake, as well as the calories in each meal. He eats smaller meals throughout the day rather than large ones at once, focusing on physical fitness, muscle building, and skincare. Yen often uses revitalizing face masks to slow down the aging process.
When asked about the most consistent thing he's done for over 40 years, Yen replied: leg presses, stretching, and martial arts practice.
This year, Yen is working on films including Raging Fire 2, Misjudgement, and Ip Man 5. In his 40-year film career, the actor has achieved success with movies like Hero, Sha Po Lang, Ip Man, 14 Blades, and xXx: Return of Xander Cage. On HK01, Yen said he has never worried about age, being typecast, or physical limitations. He believes he has a spirit of exploration and embraces challenges.
According to Ifeng, Yen's notable achievement is incorporating diverse martial arts disciplines into cinema, thanks to his knowledge accumulated through formal training. His introduction to martial arts came from his mother, Bow-sim Mark, a Tai Chi master. From a young age, Yen was trained by his mother in traditional Chinese martial arts. At the age of 11, he moved to the US with his family and formally studied Judo, Boxing, and MMA.
