Hunky model ‘mistaken for man in 30s’ turns 60 years old

A hunky model who is constantly mistaken for a man in his 30s has turned 60 years old.

Chuando Tan began his career as a model in the 1980s before entering the world of music and performing pop ballads.

The age-defying star boasts over 2m followers on Instagram, where he shares photos of himself visiting restaurants, working out at the gym, and chilling on the beach.

Chuando said he works out three times a week, for one and a half hours each session.

He said he is frequently told that he looks half his age thanks to his thick hair, flawless skin and ripped body.

The former pop star turned 60 last Tuesday (3 Mar).

He shared images of him holding balloons while sitting on the bonnet of his Jeep Wrangler.

The evergreen model reflected: “Today, on my 60th birthday, I am reminded that time is the only real wealth.

“Each sunrise arrives as an inheritance, not a guarantee.

“I am grateful to stand on this Earth still.

“The wiser path now is simple: return daily to nature and sunlight, and align myself with what endures.”

Chuando, who comes from Singapore, added: “I wish for peace on Earth.”

In a previous interview, the influencer revealed the secrets to his youthful looks.

He told What’s The Jam: “Genes play a big part for sure, and apart from the usual advice to eat healthily and exercise regularly, I think the last factor is just as important.

“You are what you think, how you feel on the inside will eventually become you, literally.”

“As we grow older, it is important to introduce compound exercises into our exercise regimen so as not to lose too much muscle mass and testosterone.

“Both are responsible for anti-aging.”

Chuando also likes to stick to a diet of sliced fish and vegetables in a clear soup with white rice, steamed or grilled chicken with rice and vegetables, and sliced beef with noodles.

He said: “When I’m out with friends during the weekend, I go with the flow and eat whatever they fancy, or I fancy.

“I don’t feel under pressure to stick to the diet.”

However, people are still baffled when they learn how old he is.

Chuando, from Singapore, said: “If the situation allows, I will find ways not to reveal my age.

“It’s not that I’m ashamed of my age, but I just want to avoid all the explanations.

“However, in situations where I have no choice, such as checking into hotels or using my passport to get tax-free items, it becomes somewhat embarrassing.

“I always try to quickly change the subject or pretend I didn’t hear what they said.”
