Still a goddess? Retired Taiwanese actress Joey Wong removes mask to pray, goes viral
Asia One ^ | AUGUST 18, 2022 | KWOK KAR PENG

The gorgeous Joey Wong has left such an impact on Asian viewers that nearly two decades after her showbiz retirement, people are still delighted to see her.

The 55-year-old former actress, best known for her ethereal performance in the 1987 movie A Chinese Ghost Story, recently went viral when photos of her praying at LingYen Mountain Temple Canada were uploaded to the internet.

In the Aug 13 event, Joey was draped in black and brown robes and did not appear to be wearing make-up. Some photos showed her with a face mask and one showed her without.

Despite being away from the limelight for so long, she couldn't avoid the predicament of people scrutinising her looks.

While some Weibo users showed their admiration, some thought she had gone under the knife.

"Our goddess has aged and her looks aren't like before but her charisma is still strong!" one user said.

Another wondered: "Did she have plastic surgery? Her facial muscles look weird."

Others simply wished her well: "I hope she finds her inner peace and happiness."

Asian women do keep their youthful look years after other ethnicities. However, when old age does set in it is almost overnight when the wrinkles, double-chin and jowls suddenly appear.

Ugly when young (as most are) = ugly when old.

At some point they will discover hormone treatment — and the Koreans will probably perfect it — to remedy that menopause cliff.

Young pups think she had work done but those of us who are pushing seventy know she is only a beautiful 55 years old.   Good Grief.

Looks like a lady aging gracefully to me. They should check out the women in Hollywood who have ruined their looks by repeatedly going under the knife.
