Hong Kong actor, 73, feels pressure dating 36-year-old girlfriend

"I would be lying if I say I’m never worried," he told Ming Pao Weekly. "I think she is many men’s ideal type."

Graduating with a degree in aircraft structural engineering, Wong, 36, is also artistically gifted, and has received many compliments from Lee’s friends for her portrait paintings.

In order to be a better match with his girlfriend, Lee has adapted many aspects in his life since they started dating. He has changed his view on many things and his style of speaking, started using supplements to improve his health, and has been avoiding drinking and smoking. He says he has been living like a younger man.

Lee says the big age gap has never been a challenge for him and his girlfriend, as they truly love each other. He has legally registered Wong as the owner of his properties.

The couple are currently planning for their wedding, which is to be held later this year.

Lee is a renowned actor. Works throughout his prolific career include "The Condor Heroes," "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer," "Journey to the West," and "Forensic Heroes."

He got married to his first wife in the 1970s and had three children with her, all of whom are older than Wong.
