In a heartfelt moment that many fathers can relate to, renowned Hong Kong action star Donnie Yen, aged 61, proudly celebrated his son James, showcasing his impressive looks and burgeoning talents. Donnie, who shares two children with wife and former model Cissy Wang, 43—21-year-old Jasmine and 17-year-old James—has been open about his family life, frequently sharing their accomplishments on social media.

While Jasmine is making waves as an emerging singer, James has captured attention with his extraordinary talent as a piano prodigy, further thrilling their parents. The family recently attended a luxurious boutique opening, where they casually discussed their fashion choices.

Donnie amusingly noted that he often curates James’s clothing because the teen tends to dress rather casually for his age. Standing tall at 1.83 meters (approximately 6 feet), with a slim build and striking good looks attributed to his mother’s genes, James has been likened to a handsome Korean star. Donnie even revealed that the young heartthrob is extremely popular among girls, with many even vying for his attention!

In a proud display of paternal affection, Donnie couldn’t help but extol his son's musical skills. "Whenever he watches a musical, he rushes home to play the songs flawlessly on the piano while Jasmine harmonizes,” commented Donnie, chuckling at their musical chemistry. Despite being an accomplished classical pianist himself, Donnie joked that James has him beat: “I can actually sing reasonably well, but they are too talented!”

When asked whether he would consider collaborating musically with James in the future, Donnie emphasized that the well-being of his children is his top priority. “Right now, we want James focused on his studies. My wife emphasizes their education above all else,” he said, adding that James might even explore composing music for films down the line.

As both parents continue to support their children's education and passions, the spotlight may soon shine brighter on their talented son, who is already capturing hearts and displaying immense promise. Keep an eye on this rising star—something tells us he’s just getting started!
