Christopher Lee Bares His Butt In New Taiwanese Drama

It was Christopher Lee's birthday yesterday (Jul 23) so we guess it was apt that he appears in his birthday suit in his new drama? 

In new Taiwanese series Islanders, the 53-year-old plays charming and philandering entrepreneur Li Xianhong torn between his wife, longtime mistress and a much younger girlfriend. 

He is also deeply adored by his subordinate, played by Taiwanese actor Wu Kang Ren, who harbours a long-time crush on him.

One scene in the risqué drama sees Kang Ren's character pleasuring himself while looking at a pic of Chris. 

Chris, a four-time Golden Bell Best Actor winner, also had to make certain sacrifices for the show. 

In a new promo video for the Catchplay series, Chris was seen getting out of a swimming pool — butt naked.

He walks towards Kang Ren, who was certainly getting an eyeful, giving viewers a full view of his backside.  

The scene then cuts to Kang Ren wrapping a towel around Chris' waist, and another close up of Chris' tush. 

Netizens have praised the actor for making such a "sacrifice" for the small screen, with some also complimenting Chris on how well-maintained his booty looks. He is 53, after all. 

It leads one to wonder if it was all him or if he had a butt double for that scene. If not, did the make-up artiste work some magic to make his buns look better?

8days.sg reached out to Chris for answers but the actor is busy filming in Taiwan now and was not able to reply.

Sigh... what a bum-mer.
