He's undoubtedly a big brother in the Chinese (and Hollywood) film industry, but veteran actor Chow Yun Fat is equally experienced with stylish tech trends too.
Earlier this week, he took a room of media and his colleagues - actors Aaron Kwok and Eddie Peng - by surprise when he rattled off top tips for taking the perfect selfie, including making use of moving gifs and editing apps.
Here are five selfie hacks we took away from the session, Chow Yun Fat-certified.
3. Stand in the middle of the shot
While gazing into his camera phone, Chow animatedly said, “If you get too close to the camera, wow. Look, my face looks puffed up.”
Instead, move to the middle of the frame, and your face won’t get blown out of proportion, he advised. The middle person gets the slimmest face. If you can’t be in the middle of your group, position the camera in the middle so that faces at the side of the frame won’t get enlarged.
“Girls must always be in the middle!” Chow proclaimed, in a mock-fatherly manner.
