i ever bought his cd or casstte ? 

okay singer for look only.

 

 

[wantonmee]

Not sure who he is, but he looks amazing for a 50 yo dude.

But he's got good genes to begin with, and he's obviously worked out hard throughout.... and perhaps can afford to have some additional aesthetics done. Good for him.

Hard act for the rest of us to follow though.

i must admit his DNA is good for a start....our encounter were at TPY when he use to stay there.

 

He got a angmo lover who become biz partner.

He did things to his face.

 

Nonetheless kudos to his effort fir up keeping his bod.

[vincent_ng]

In my opinion, his bod much more developed than 郑各平 and 翁清海.

 

I also hv his CD. His singing reminds me of 费翔. Haha.

I have never heard of him until a few days ago.  He looks amazing. I can imagine how much effort he has put to fight against time,  despite blessed with good genes. When I saw his pic,  I thought he might be gay because it's really difficult to believe a straight guy could look like that. Some of the poses are very much like a high school girl would do. Sorry to sound harsh.

Gimmick. I got email from another clinic. Once there, they will tell u that u r not suitable for the treatment or before u do this treatment, u need to do another treatment. Once it is done, then u can do the treatment. Is very tiring to front them.

The cosmetic industry is always on the outlook for suckers.  And gimmick is their motto operandi.  "Hydrafacial" sounds so sophisticated...

 

Behind this fancy name there are principles that can be effective: hydration of the skin and some exfoliation.   And some claims that are dubious:  "improves elasticity and firmness".  It turns out that there are simpler and more economical ways to treat our skin at home.

To pay $300 for a 'hydrafacial' treatment buys some effectiveness and a lot of fantasy.

Are you in "Dr Liew's team" or are you just a Member who received an email?

 

Don't confuse dermatologist with esthetician.  A dermatologist is a MD who specializes in the skin.  An esthetician makes money offering cosmetic products and treatments.

Riding into 60: Celebrity photographer Chuando Tan on his viral vitality and staying young

Fashion photographer Chuando Tan's youthful looks are the result of decades of discipline.

Published Feb 11, 2026, 12:29 PM

Updated Feb 11, 2026, 03:13 PM

 

Born: March 3, 1966

For most people, turning 60 is a quiet milestone.

 

Chuando Tan would like it that way, too, but the Singaporean celebrity fashion photographer says his friends and social media fan base prefer the opposite.

 

He has over 1.7 million Instagram followers and 69,000 followers on Chinese social media app Xiaohongshu.

 

“People make a big deal about turning 60. To me, it’s just another birthday,” the 59-year-old former model says.

 

He may be built like a stallion and famed for his Adonis-like physique and age-defying good looks. But, physically, Tan admits feeling his age.

 

“You start to feel your body is losing energy and steam. You have to push yourself; your body can just let go without you even trying,” he says.

 

“To me, maintaining vitality is really important for healthy ageing.”

 

Makan, movement and mindset

Despite his modest protestations, Tan’s youthful appearance is no accident. It is the result of decades of disciplined habits, starting in his early 20s, when he began modelling and working out seriously after national service.

 

Contrary to popular belief, he is not a non-stop gym machine. “People think I’m always exercising, but that’s not true. I’m a human being. I get lazy too,” he says with a laugh.

(Instagram post)

 

There are stretches – three to six months at a time – when he skips the gym and sticks only to light cardio and basic movements.

 

But one non-negotiable is his diet. “I watch what I consume and put into my body, which I think is really important,” he says. “That contributes to how well you age and your vitality.”

 

He avoids processed foods, preferring ingredients in their simplest, least altered forms – like beef steak or chicken breast instead of patties, and whole vegetables instead of heavily seasoned dishes.

 

At home, his cooking is deliberately no-frills: everything into a rice cooker, minimal oil and mostly organic extra virgin olive oil. He uses the olive oil so regularly that he can even take it as a shot, though he usually pairs it with boiled eggs.

 

His daily staples read like a nutritionist’s checklist: honey, blueberries, garlic, onions – all chosen for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. His indulgence is durians, though he is conscious of not overeating them.

 

“All these dietary habits have helped me become what I am today,” he says.

 

On exercise, his philosophy is simple and pragmatic. He aims for five gym compound workouts a week – comprising dumbbell squats, deadlifts, bench presses, pull-ups and overhead presses, and cardio walking on the treadmill. But, realistically, he manages three, capped at about 90 minutes each.

 

At this age, he warns against “ego lifting”, overloading joints and chasing heavy numbers.

 

Instead, he stresses the importance of strengthening the lower body. “When you cannot walk, everything will just go downhill,” he says.

(Instagram post)

 

Chilling in the new year

When asked about his plans for 2026, Tan, who is single, half-jokes that he is already retiring.

 

“I just want to sit down, take a step back and enjoy a healthy life, and do what I like,” he says.

 

Photography, once his core profession, is now something he takes on selectively. If a good project comes along, he will consider it, but he no longer chases every opportunity.

 

Tan – who released his Chinese-language self-help photo book In Life, You Don’t Have To Win Every Time in 2023 – hints at a new creative work which he hopes to launch soon.

 

He is also intrigued by Hyrox, the global functional fitness race popular with younger crowds.

 

Though shy about joining a community where he does not know anyone, he would love to train for it. “It will be to challenge myself,” he says. “I see it as a personal test of stamina and endurance rather than a competition.”

 

A forecast for the Year of the Fire Horse is that the world will face harsh conditions and natural disasters. However, people born in 1966 will have a fantastic year, he declares.

 

“That’s what I was told. We will have to see about that,” he adds.

 Singaporean model Chuando Tan celebrates 60th birthday, goes viral again

Singaporean model and artistic director Chuando Tan has gone viral globally numerous times for his youthful looks.

Once again, Singaporean model and artistic director Chuando Tan has gone viral globally for his youthful looks – this time, fittingly, on his birthday.

 

On Tuesday (Mar 3), Tan celebrated his 60th birthday and uploaded several pictures on his Instagram page, showing him in a semi-unbuttoned shirt with a Jeep, holding balloons that show his age.

 

He wrote: "Today, on my 60th birthday, I am reminded that time is the only real wealth. Each sunrise arrives as an inheritance, not a guarantee. I am grateful to stand on this Earth still. The wiser path now is simple: Return daily to nature and sunlight and align myself with what endures. I wish for peace on earth."

(Instagram post)

 

In less than 24 hours, the post received over 257,000 likes, with comments mainly split between those wishing Tan a happy birthday and those who can't believe his age.

 

One netizen asked in Spanish, “Is it true that he’s 60?”, while another quipped, “Is the 60 in the room with us?”

 

(Screengrab: CNA)

 

In a 2023 interview with CNA, Chuando Tan spoke about his viral fame and shared that the secret to looking young was all about “what you do, what you eat, and what you think”.

 

“The activities that you do during the day should be equal to the calories that you burn during that day – as simple as that. And the amount of food that you consume during the day is equal to the calories that you put in your body," said Tan.

 

"You know, every time we hear people say that you look very good today, you’ll look happy. Isn't it good if we can psyche ourselves to have that mindset, to have a positive, healthy, young thinking? I think through a period of time, that feeling will eventually become you."

If you already look fab in your 20s 30s, it's probably easier to maintain through 50s and 60s.

That's why a lot of celebrities and athletes seem to defy time
