Donnie Yen does bottle cap challenge blindfolded, everyone else tries & gets participation medal

Very sporting.

Hong Kong actor Donnie Yen shot to fame after playing the role of Ip Man, a wing chun master who was also Bruce Lee's teacher.

One kick wonder

The 55-year-old Yen, who possesses plenty of fighting chops, uploaded a video to Instagram on July 3, 2019 of him doing the bottle cap challenge.

The challenge consists of taking the cap off a plastic bottle with a single kick.

However, Yen took it two steps further:

  1. Instead of using a plastic bottle, he used a glass bottle
  2. He did the challenge blindfolded

Here's the video:

Chirrut feeling the force + Ip man’s steady aim + no plastic bottle = the universe strongest 😆 #bottlecapchallenge @sweetcil #donnieyen #甄子丹 #宇宙最強 #ipman #action #宇宙最強甄子丹 #chirrutimwe #starwars #rogueone #noplasticbottle #torontoraptors #nbachampions #raptors #bulletfilms #superbulletpictures @bulletfilmsofficial @superbulletpictures

The smirk on his face after taking off the blindfold says enough.

Yen's video has since been watched 2.2 million times and has half a million likes.

English actor Jason Statham, known for his action movies, also took a successful stab at the challenge (albeit without a blindfold):

Although the challenge wasn't started by them per se, hordes of people soon followed, including local actress/ comedian Irene Ang.

As it turns out, Ang has an extremely powerful finger.

On the other hand, local singer/ actor Benjamin Kheng is more about the journey than the destination:

But it seems like some challengers might just have surpassed Yen:

And finally, this guy who did it without even touching the bottle:

Great stuff.
