A veteran movie star in Hong Kong has stunned fans after he signed over his entire portfolio of properties to a girlfriend half his age.

Actor Lee Lung Kei, 72, told Chinese media that he has given 36-year-old Chris Wong control of the seven properties to secure her future.

The two have been dating for four years, despite their age difference.

Chinese media report that Lee has also revealed the possibility of a wedding this year.

Pink-haired Lee is a huge celebrity across China and starred in the hit TV history drama ‘Journey to the West’, a new version of the 1970s ‘Monkey’ series.

His bride-to-be Chis is an aircraft engineer who holds an Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) from Beihang University.

Local media report that she has a thriving art career.

Chris is a keen amateur pilot while Lee likes to fly radio-controlled model aircraft.

The pair are finalising wedding plans for a small and intimate ceremony, Lee told local media.

Prior to his relationship with Chris, Lee had previously married in the 1970s and had three children with his then-wife.

However, they reportedly ended the marriage due to his busy career.

Although retired now, Lee still has a huge number of loyal fans who are hoping to see him finally tie the knot.

Many have expressed support for his new relationship, despite numerous others referring to it as a “grandfather and granddaughter relationship”.
