Actor Jerry Koo was once a familiar face in the Hong Kong's film industry, having acted in over 30 dramas since making his debut in the 1994 series, Master Of Martial Arts.

In 2012, Koo received recognition for his performance in the comedy series Divas In Distress which earned him the Best Supporting Actor honours at the TVB Anniversary Awards.

The 58-year-old left the Hong Kong broadcaster in 2020 after 26 years and moved to China to seek better opportunities.

Recently, a netizen bumped into the actor at a restaurant in Jiangmen – a city in Guangdong Province, China – and shared some photos with him on her social media account.

In her post, the netizen mentioned that Koo was very friendly and willing to oblige to her photo requests.

According to Ming Pao, the eatery was opened by the actor last year and specialises in Hong Kong-style cuisines. The prices are said to be affordable, ranging between 10 to 20 yuan (RM6 to RM12).

Koo not only actively promotes his restaurant on social media, but he also helps out by waiting tables and making milk tea. Occasionally, he will entertain patrons by singing a few songs.

Although the actor is currently based in China, he still accepts acting offers for Hong Kong shows time to time.

In recent years, he has taken on supporting roles in dramas like Sinister Beings and Modern Dynasty. He is set to star in the upcoming TVB series The King Of Kings.
