47-year-old Chinese actor Li Chen previously had a high-profile romance with Fan Bingbing. The two went public with their relationship in 2015, often publicly displaying affection, and got engaged in 2017, being hailed as a golden couple in the entertainment industry. However, their sudden breakup in 2019 shocked everyone. Now, six years later, not only has Li Chen had new rumored relationships from time to time, but he himself has changed a lot. Recently, a photo of his visibly swollen face, sporting an ‘auntie vibe’ and aged appearance, has been circulating online, leading fans to exclaim, “Is Li Chen okay?”
Li Chen was recently spotted at the Changbai Mountain ski resort. There was a big crowd at the scene, as well as photographic equipment and various gear, suggesting some filming was taking place. Of note, on closer inspection, Li Chen looked very different. He was dressed in a pink ski suit, his facial expression stiff, and his chubby cheeks impossible to hide, making him appear much older than his actual age of 47, which generated a lot of discussion online.
Many netizens focused their attention on Li Chen’s appearance, expressing their shock at the photo, saying: “He looks aged,” “Looks awkward,” “Has auntie vibes,” and “Totally giving off ‘madam’ energy.” They felt Li Chen’s former sunshine image was gone, and his heartthrob persona shattered. However, some fans came to his defense, saying that skiing is usually done without makeup, and with the harsh environment and ski goggles, it’s hard to look as handsome as usual.
