Recently, some netizens posted a photo of Wu Mengda and Zhong Nanshan in the same frame, and the two met by chance on the high-speed rail. Facing the camera, Wu Mengda and Zhong Nanshan smiled, and Wu Mengda also gave Zhong Nanshan a thumbs up to express his admiration.
Professor Zhong Nanshan in the photo is muscular, his shirt is about to burst, his arm lines are excellent, he looks powerful, and netizens have also praised Zhong Nanshan, saying that he is a role model for his own sports.
On the other hand, Wu Mengda, who is 17 years younger, is even more old in the same frame as Zhong Nanshan. Recently, Wu Mengda appeared to promote the endorsement brand. In the photo, Wu Mengda has thinning hair and thin cheeks. He is wearing a loose blazer, but he cannot cover his bulging belly.
Wu Mengda is like this because he has been sick for many years and his health is not as good as before. Wu Mengda was diagnosed with severe diabetes and suffered from heart disease due to exhaustion. As a result, Wu Mengda has rarely appeared on the big screen in recent years.
Wu Mengda is a famous comedian and a well-deserved comedy superstar in the eyes of several generations. His representative works include "Gambling Saint", "Shaolin Football" and "God of Cookery", and he has been nominated for the Academy Awards many times. But Wu Mengda’s acting career has not been smooth.
Wu Mengda entered the entertainment industry and became attached to "Happy Tonight". He often watched the show with his father and found it very interesting, so he secretly wrote down the registration method on TV. At the age of 20, Wu Mengda was admitted to TVB’s artist training class and became a classmate with Zhou Yun-fa. At that time, he was still a small fresh meat.
But Wu Mengda, who became famous prematurely, was lost in fame and fortune. He did not do his job properly all day long and was prone to gambling. He owed a huge amount of debt and was hidden by the company because of his poor conduct. In the midst of difficulties, he reflected on himself and devoted himself to studying acting. In 1985, he participated in "Senior Brother Xinja", which played on the same stage as Leung Chaowei, and returned to the public eye again.
At this time, he met the most important person in his life, Stephen Chow. In 1989, Wu Mengda and Chow Xingchi starred in "Gambling Saint", which won the nomination of Best Supporting Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards. Later, Wu Mengda and Chow Xingchi cooperated for more than a decade, and left many popular works.
Most of his roles are supporting roles, expressing great wisdom in life with the joys and sorrows of little people. His acting skills are skilled and touching people’s hearts, so he is also known as a golden supporting role.
However, as Wu Mengda gets older and his role narrows, Wu Mengda’s economic income is also getting less and less. With five children to support, he is under great pressure. He once revealed to the media that raising five children requires 900,000 every month.
When Wu Mengda was in financial distress, his old partner Zhou Xingchi offered a helping hand. In 2014, Zhou Xingchi wanted to invite Wu Mengda to star in the movie "Mermaid", but Wu Mengda refused when he was not in good health. According to media reports, Wu Mengda, who had a red light on, had already made a will. As soon as the news came out, the public expressed their disbelief and hoped that Uncle Da could be healthy.
Wu Mengda, who was willing to be a green leaf, became the king of comedy in the hearts of several generations. As he approached his seventies, his body gradually aged, and he might never see his new works on the screen again, but classics are always worth collecting, and after time of brewing, they will only last for a long time.
