63-year-old Hong Kong film emperor Francis Ng recently took a bus in Hong Kong and used a "senior card" to enjoy an HK$2 (about RM1) discount, but was suspected by the driver of being ineligible and was nearly kicked off the bus. He was asked on the spot to show his identification for verification. In the end, Francis Ng resolved the situation with his usual humor, and his ever-youthful looks also unexpectedly became the focus.
"After I tapped my card, the driver got upset and almost kicked me off the bus!" Francis Ng revealed that when he recently took the bus after a long time and used his Octopus card, the driver suspected he was "illegally using a senior card". The atmosphere became awkward at the scene. Helpless, he took out his ID to prove that he was indeed over 60 years old, and jokingly said: "It’s not intentional, I was born this way, please check my ID." He was then able to ride the bus smoothly.
After the incident came to light, netizens were curious and asked: "Why didn't anyone offer a seat?" Francis Ng wittily replied: "Haven’t I been insulted enough?" With this quip, he displayed his quick wit and self-deprecating charm. Fans found it hilarious, praising him as the "ever-youthful film emperor" and saying, "Still so handsome at 63—no wonder the driver didn’t believe it!" The comments section was lively, showing his continued popularity.
