HK Actor Benny Chan Criticised For Visiting Temple Covered In Designer Brands, Including $2.2K Louis Vuitton Shirt

Former TVB actor Benny Chan, who has been out of action after suffering a foot fracture in March, appears to be making good recovery.

The 54-year-old recently shared a video of himself visiting Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou on Douyin.

Though he had a crutch with him, Benny had little problem making his way up a flight of stairs to the temple.

When he reached the temple, he bowed three times outside the main hall before turning to pose for the camera.

Despite wearing a face mask and sunglasses, Benny, who was dressed head to toe in luxury brands, stood out amongst worshippers.

His dressing became a topic of discussion, from his S$2,190 Louis Vuitton baseball shirt to him wearing a cap to the temple.

While some netizens praised his hypebeast style, others found it too flashy for a place of worship and criticised him for “not being solemn”.

“Shouldn’t one remove their gold and silver [jewellery] when worshipping Buddha?” asked one netizen.

In response, Benny replied, “Sincerity is what matters.”
