Adam Cheng (鄭少秋) has largely stepped away from the spotlight in recent years, leading a low-key life. The Hong Kong star rarely makes public appearances these days, with many netizens wondering if his decision was because of his daughter’s passing in 2023.
Amid growing concern over his lack of updates, the actor recently made a rare public comment on social media. On 24th March 2026 (Tuesday), Adam’s Lunar birthday, a Weibo account under the username “Adam Cheng Art Museum Live Network (秋官艺术馆鲜动网络)” shared a post. Writing the post is “Brother Cheng”, believed to be the actor.
The post writes, “I have received everyone’s blessings and concern. During this retirement period, I have slowed down my pace of life, but I still exercise and do the things I enjoy. I have never liked social engagements, so you haven’t seen me much, so don’t worry!” Many fans believe Adam made the statement to reassure the public following some recent rumours.
Earlier this year, news outlets reported that a few fans spotted Adam in public. However, they noted that he looked particularly skinny, sparking rumours of failing health. Thankfully, it seems the 79-year-old is doing well. The actor then wished the public happiness and good health, while referring to some recent public events.
Despite the short comment, many fans were relieved to hear that Adam is healthy and safe during his retirement. There were allegations that the actor was uncontactable, even by friends, but there was no clear explanation why. Some speculated that his daughter Angelina’s death had an impact on him, forcing him to step away from the entertainment industry.
While it was a simple post, we’re sure it was more than enough to reassure fans that Adam is doing well. Let’s hope to see and hear from the actor in the future.
