Donnie Yen shows off kung fu moves at 55 years old in training video ahead of Ip Man 4 release
- The ‘Ip Man 4’ star proves age is just a number as he displays impressive martial arts abilities in social media post
- Hong Kong martial arts hero also stuns fans by singing and playing an Elton John song on piano
Hong Kong martial arts superstar Donnie Yen Tze-dan may have already hit the big time with his Ip Man franchise but he’s not about to rest on his laurels ahead of the release of the latest instalment in the series.
Yen, 56 next month, proved age is just a number as he posted a social media video of himself in training to show that he’s still fit as a fiddle.
“I am always looking to create new and inspiring action throughout my career in all my films,” Yen said in his Facebook post over the weekend. “Never give up”.
It’s unclear why he said “never give up” but it could have something to do with the series of injuries Yen has suffered during his 35 years in the film industry.
Or it could be he was discreetly trying to promote his upcoming blockbuster, Ip Man 4, the latest film of the martial arts franchise that thrust him into the spotlight as a serious player on the kung fu scene. Ip Man 4, which also stars English martial arts star Scott Adkins and is directed by Wilson Yip, will be released on July 25.
