Remember the days when movie stars looked the same in photos as they did in person?
This week old images of screen idols Joey Wong Cho-yee and Chow Yun-fat from the 1980s surfaced (and went viral) on Chinese social media that show how great the actors looked in their youth without heavy airbrushing or Photoshop.
Here are five other silver (and small) screen stars from the same era who won the hearts of many in Hong Kong and the region with their natural good looks, beauty and talent.
