Hong Kong actress Athena Chu is known for her beauty and age-defying looks. Dubbed an “eternal goddess” by fans, the 52-year-old has been said to look as fresh-faced as she did in the ’90s.
Until recently.
Earlier this week, Athena took to her Douyin to share a video of her posing on the roof top of what looks like an ancient Chinese building.
In the video, Athena, dressed in a figure-hugging beige cheongsam, was prancing and twirling as though she was filming a music video.
Fans left comments gushing about her beauty, but there were also netizens who zeroed in on her “weight gain” and “ageing” looks, saying she looks like a “rich tai tai” now.
There were even some who mistook Athena for another public figure, Pansy Ho.
Pansy, 61, is the eldest child of late casino king Stanley Ho and his second wife, Lucina Laam.
“Before I saw the name [of the person who posted the video], I thought it was Pansy Ho,” wrote one netizen, while another commented: “Athena looks like Pansy Ho now that she’s gained weight.”
A third said: “Women start to look alike when they age.”
