Mexican dancer and celebrity Lyn May has shocked fans with this saucy snap of her performing the splits at nearly 70 years of age.

May, who turned 69 in December, shared the photo on Instagram for her 300,000 followers with the message: “Always do what makes you happy without hurting anyone else.”

The image shows the Mexican vedette star, a popular sex symbol during the 70s and 80s, sitting on a chair while wearing a sparkly cowgirl hat and matching brassiere and performing the splits.

May, who was born in Acapulco and has Chinese ancestry, enjoyed a resurgence in popularity last year after appearing on the reality show ‘Quiero Cantar’ (‘I Want to Sing’).

Local media also reported that she was pregnant in August 2021 with her partner Marcos D1, 30. However, she said in October that she lost the baby during a flight to Mexicali during her tour.

After posting her splits snap, many online followers called her “ridiculous” and claimed she was too old to exhibit herself in such a way. However, other fans praised her apparently flexibility at 69 years of age.

According to the news site Publinews, May disfigured her face some years ago when an acquaintance suggested that she inject a certain oil in her skin to prevent wrinkles.

While many people have criticised the dancer for undergoing too many plastic surgeries on her face, she actually had the ops to correct much of the damage caused by the botched treatment.

At the time, she said in an interview: “At the moment, I just want to get revenge and take my life back. I have received a lot of psychological help and surgeons have been working for years to get my face back.”
