5201314 6,470 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 http://www.asiaone.com/entertainment/movie-star-chow-yun-fat-plans-give-entire-fortune-charity Actor Chow Yun-fat has decided that his entire net worth will go to charity, he told Hong Kong movie site Jayne Stars. The Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon star said, “The hardest thing in life is not about how much money you earn, but how to keep a peaceful mindset and live the rest of your life in a simple and carefree manner.†It was reported by The New Straits Times that Chow’s net worth is valued at HK$5.6 billion (S$983 million). According to the article, Chow takes public transportation as often as possible and spends most of his time and money on charity work instead of on himself. “I don’t wear clothes for other people. As long as I think it’s comfortable, then it’s good enough for me.†IndieWire wrote that Chow said he spends a frugal amount of US$102 (S$140) per month. Despite his wealth and his status as an Asian movie icon that is familiar to even American audiences for his role in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, as well as John Woo's A Better Tomorrow and The Killer, he thinks of himself as a normal person. His wife, Jasmine Tan, was quoted in a report to have said that Chow was still using his 17-year-old Nokia phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zenist 490 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 What i respect of Chow Yun Fat is that he isn't afraid to take on "ugly characters" and completely uglifies himself to immerse in the role. Nowadays, you only see "idols"/"fresh meats" taking on very, very safe roles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KorAm 21 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 My mom and dad watched his stuff. I was a kid when Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon hit the US. He was like an instant role model for a lot of Asian-American boys like me. (Jet Li too when “Hero†hit the box office a few years later.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakura Sunshine 1,472 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I became a fan of Chow Yun Fat after A Better Tomorrow These veteran HK actors are legends and it's sad they're all starting to retire. They started out very poor and worked their way up through sheer hardship. The younger generation of the entertainment industry in Asia these days have no idea how lucky they have it.

ButterflyLovers 912 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 This man stays devoted to his wife after she misscarried their only pregnancy, and she was told she'd never be pregnant anymore(sometimes misscarriage or violent birthing can do that to women). At that time he was a star on his peak, a lesser man would divorce her and take another woman as wife to get kids. He did no such thing, instead choosing to stay with her out of love until now. This guy is one of few stars I truly respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
