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.
5. There’s always an opportunity for a selfie
Every moment is a selfie moment, at least according to Chow. When co-actor Kwok explained that he’s usually busy practising his dances alone in front of the mirror, Chow offered a comical suggestion: “Take selfies while you’re dancing. Use Facebook ‘live’!”
Right as the media session ended, Chow – unwilling to say goodbye – insisted on taking a selfie with everybody in the room. As it turned out, one of Hong Kong’s biggest stars is a big softie at heart too.
