Meet Chuando Tan, the Singaporean photographer who will make you wonder what you’re doing wrong. Believe it or not, Tan is 59 years old. Yes. That’s right. Five seven. And he seems to be getting younger every day.
His friends call him CD, and this Asian model has been catching eyes worldwide since appearing in an article for a Chinese news website. The half-centenarian, who has over 1.4 M followers on Instagram, co-owns photography firm ChuanDo & Frey, but it may come as no surprise to learn that he was one of Singapore’s most popular male models back in the late 80s and early 90s. He even had a short career as a Mandarin pop singer before discovering his passion for photography.
So what’s his secret on how to look younger? Well, apart from superior genetics, he also works out a lot (obviously), and he’s previously commented on how he avoids baths late at night and early in the morning and how he regularly eats Hainan chicken. But something tells us that we would hit the gym eight days a week and eat chicken every day for a lifetime and still not look as incredible as this guy. But that’s OK. Because we’re not jealous. At all.

Luck plays little for the youngest-looking old man. But can you really call him old? In the interview with The Straits Times, then-51-year-old Chuando Tan opened up about his daily routine.

He also works out
A lot
You can already tell, by photos alone, that he works out more than your average Joe. Chuando Tan’s age doesn’t stop him from hitting the weights section. However, many old people who look young often share a lifestyle similar to Tan’s.
He likes to eat lean meat like Hainan chicken
Mingling with celebrities also helps to keep him young. Probably
It’s no surprise that CD has over 1.4M followers on Instagram
Today, Chuando Tan continues to live the same lifestyle he did ten years ago: working out and looking as healthy as ever. He did expand his social presence outside of social media, too. Moreover, he founded a modeling management agency, AVN Management, and even wrote a book.
