HONG KONG, Nov 9 — Sammo Hung may have taken a step back from the big screen, but the Hong Kong action star is still active at work. 

In a Douyin video, the 74-year-old can be seen moving around in an electric wheelchair as he joined his eldest son Timmy Hung, for a livestream sales session in Guangzhou, China.

He also told viewers that “health and happiness are the most important things in life”.

After wrapping up the session, the veteran actor signed autographs for fans. Father and son then headed out for a meal of Chaoshan cuisine. 

Just last month, fans spotted Sammo while he was on holiday with his family in Hangzhou.

He appeared to be in good spirits in photos taken with fans.

Best known for his roles in Hong Kong action films, Sammo has built a career spanning more than six decades as an actor, director, martial artist, stuntman and action choreographer. 

He made his acting debut in 1961 when he was only 12 years old in Education of Love. In 1977, he directed his first film — action-comedy movie The Iron-Fisted Monk. 

However, decades of performing physically demanding stunts took a toll on his body, leaving him with numerous injuries over the course of his career.

In 2017, he underwent knee surgery and has since slowed down on his acting commitments. 

He has been spotted using an electric wheelchair on several occasions, including social media posts uploaded by Timmy. 

But despite his mobility issues, retirement does not appear to be on the cards for Sammo. 

In 2024, when he was asked why he was still working at his age, he quipped: “Perhaps I was an ox in my previous life. I feel most comfortable when I’m working.” — AsiaOne
