Gallen Lo, 59, Age-Shamed After CCTV Spring Festival Gala Appearance

Netizens said Gallen looked “haggard” and “old”, especially when they compared his current appearance to screenshots of him from 1999 TVB drama At The Threshold Of An Era.

What these netizens fail to realise is that the hit series was shot 23 years ago when Gallen was just 36.

Thankfully, there were those who defended Gallen against these trolls. One said, “You hate on celebs that go for procedures that make them look younger, and you also hate on the stars that don’t. There’s no winning for them, right?”

Hongkong netizens also had a bone to pick with Gallen whom they felt “betrayed Hongkong” because he sang Chinese anthem Wo De Zhong Guo Xin, which can be literally translated to 'My Chinese Heart', at the gala.

“Gallen Lo, Deric Wan and Kent Tong [both of whom performed the song with Gallen] are traitors and should never come back to Hongkong,” one irate netizen declared. “They’ve made their intentions clear.”
