Celebrity Sauce: Wrinkles are face of men's fashion

A top male trends magazine has picked 54-year-old actor Zhang Fengyi as its half-naked cover model for this month's issue, which begs the questions: Is old in? The elderly hip?

Zhang is photographed in front of a melting ice sculpture, to suggest the perils of global warming, and looks like an ancient god, aged and ripped, while ice frosts his head and coats his bare torso.

The actor who plays the roles of emperors and peasants in period dramas is fondly being called "Cover Uncle" by some readers of China's Esquire. But others are not buying into the idea that wrinkles are the face of the future.
