New Drama Goes Head-to-Head with Ex-Wife; Chen Xiao Shocks with Gaunt Appearance

Chinese actor Chen Xiao and Michelle Chen announced the end of their 8-year marriage in February, which came as a shock to the public. His new drama, "Big Businessman," premiered on the 25th, clashing with his ex-wife Michelle Chen's "Sniping Butterflies," which will premiere on December 4. Chen Xiao made an appearance at the new drama's event ahead of time, but his condition unexpectedly sparked heated discussion; he appeared extremely thin, with sallow, sunken features, and looked very haggard. This led netizens to speculate whether it was the impact of the divorce, exclaiming: "How did he get so skinny? He's skin and bones now."

After the divorce, Chen Xiao kept a low profile, only making a public appearance recently for "Big Businessman". Unexpectedly, he appeared noticeably thinner. Sporting long hair and dressed all in black, though he wore a smile and seemed energetic, up-close shots showed fans that Chen Xiao looked tired and haggard, his complexion somewhat sallow. Even his movements were described as cautious. Some people also pointed out that Chen Xiao's jacket seemed ill-fitting, giving the impression of a deliberately constructed shoulder line, which made his upper body proportions look a bit off.

It is reported that some netizens had noticed last year that Chen Xiao’s eyes lacked sparkle after getting married, and he "lost the light in his eyes." With this appearance at the event, many couldn't help but comment: "He lost so much weight. Even though it's been a while since the divorce from Michelle Chen, the light still hasn't returned to his eyes." Many were surprised by his current condition: "Wow, it's almost hard to recognize him; he's lost so much weight—his cheeks are sunken in." and "It's a bit heartbreaking to see Chen Xiao so gaunt. What's going on?" But some still praised him, saying he still looks handsome slim, and now resembles Nicholas Tse a bit. #
