The beauty of this renowned heartthrob is no longer what it used to be, causing sorrow among fans.
On the recent August 8th, the film The Gatekeeper held its inaugural ceremony, grabbing significant attention as it marked the collaboration of two illustrious actors. Their appearance at the event, especially Co Thien Lac's unrecognizably different beauty, sparked heated debate.
HK01 reported on the film The Gatekeeper, drawing considerable interest from viewers. However, the discussion quickly turned to Co Thien Lac's appearance. Caught on camera, his face no longer retains its former naturalness, appearing stiff and artificial.



Particularly when standing next to the hot and alluring co-star Banh Vu Yen, Co Thien Lac further emphasizes the difference in both appearance and demeanor. Over time, Chinese media has frequently shared backstage scenes of Banh Vu Yen in The Gatekeeper, showcasing the grace of 'Hoang Phi Hong' despite entering her forties.

This isn't the first time in recent history that Co Thien Lac has sparked controversy over his appearance. Earlier, during press conferences and promotional events for the film White Storm 3, Co Thien Lac also caused a stir in the media due to his distorted facial features, described as 'rather menacing.' He was subject to numerous rumors of cosmetic surgery, yet some argue it's simply the natural process of aging, and he's no longer the youthful hero from The Return of the Condor Heroes.




The Gatekeeper explores the theme of crime prevention, narrating the stories of agents who relentlessly pursue justice and fearlessly engage in battles of good versus evil. Alongside Co Thien Lac and Banh Vu Yen, the film also features the participation of many renowned stars such as Lam Bao Di, Khuong Hao Van, and La Hao Minh. Initially rumored to include Truong Hoc Hieu, the name of the 'Heavenly King' ultimately did not appear in the official cast list.
