It disappointed some of his fans who were not used to seeing texture and other blemishes on the popular actor’s face. One commented, “This is what Jerry Yan, who is pushing 50, really looks like…”
They were doubly disappointed comparing this photo with the ones Jerry Yan posted on his Weibo account. They were noticeably different, with his complexion lighter and his skin flawless.
Of course, this was all thanks to good lighting, angles, and editing. Many fans also came to his defense, pointing out that he “already looks better than 99% of people his age” and that he “looks at least 10 years younger than his actual age.”
