A netizen posted about their unexpected encounter with the 56-year-old actor while in a cafe at Repulse Bay in Hong Kong.

While some said he still exudes star quality even in casual clothing, others argue that the star blended in with the regular folks because of his comfortable appearance.It does seem that Ekin is comfortable with his appearance - and it’s good that his fans are also okay with him ageing.
