Xie Shaoguang making TV return after 20 years, not anxious about 'appearance, age, or health'

Are you looking forward to catching Xie Shaoguang on your TV screen again?

Well, the 63-year-old actor cautioned that some viewers might be surprised by his older appearance.

Speaking to Shin Min Daily News, Xie acknowledged that in some viewers' memories, he is still in his prime.

After all, the actor left Mediacorp in 2005 at the age of 43.

Growing older is a natural process, one that Xie hopes viewers understand.

"I don't have any anxiety about my appearance, age, or health. We must admit that our body functions will age over time."

His tip for maintaining a healthy body?

"Eat a balanced diet, meditate and exercise more, while keeping a happy mood and a relaxed spirit," he said.

Outside of acting, Xie told the Chinese media that he tends to be an easygoing person who doesn't shy away from interactions.

Xie says he has never met someone whom he couldn't get along with or communicate with.

Here he is looking spiffy in formal wear:

In his new drama, Xie plays Lin Huoyan, a man who has a tense relationship with his daughter (played by Chantelle Ng).

Ng told Shin Min that Xie is very "straightforward, friendly and smart".
