The recent episode of TVB variety show TVB 55th Anniversary Footprint (新光汇聚成翡翠) detailed 56-year-old Aaron Kwok's meteoric rise to Heavenly King.
While it's common knowledge that Aaron started out as a backup dancer with TVB, few people are aware of his career before that.
A younger, equally fine-looking Aaron
Aaron was just 18 when he applied to become a TVB dancer in 1984. According to his application form, he was working as an aircon technician and was earning HK$1700 (S$310) a month.
It was also stated that the person who recommended Aaron to apply for the gig was a TVB “canteen boy”.
Attached to his application form was a passport-sized photo of a young Aaron, who already looked every bit a star.
After the episode aired, many viewers went online to gush about Aaron's good looks, with some pledging their loyalty towards their idol, and others calling him their “forever prince charming”.

Former SGAG writer Siraj and his wife Nasyirah started a burger joint inspired by her father’s tandoori chicken. The couple recently moved their eatery, taking over a whole 3-storey space in front of Sultan Mosque, as Siraj says: “We’re Muslims. It’s Arab Street, and we didn’t want people drinking alcohol in front of the mosque.” #8dayseatrestaurant #8dayseat #muslimowned #burger #tandoori #halalfood #tiktoksg #fyp #singapore
