“Baat Leung Gam” Spotted Praying at Erawan Shrine in Bangkok, Son’s Latest Look Compared to Jacky Heung

(Bangkok, 21st) 72-year-old Hong Kong actor Bobby Yip, famous for his signature “mushroom haircut” and distinctive appearance, rose to fame in the 1990s after being discovered by Stephen Chow. He appeared in classics such as Lawyer Lawyer, The Lucky Guy, King of Comedy, and The God of Cookery. Recently, netizens spotted him in Bangkok with his son Yip Siu-ting, sparking online discussions about their unique styles.

In recent years, Yip has shifted his career focus to mainland China, producing web films and participating in livestream sales, gaining considerable traction. The recent sighting took place near Bangkok’s famous Erawan Shrine.

Photos show that Yip has remained loyal to his iconic look—his classic mushroom haircut, a fitted white shirt layered with a black vest, and his trademark flared pants. Meanwhile, his son was seen wearing a cap and a red long-sleeve jacket despite the hot weather, filming the surroundings.

Netizens reacted humorously, noting how Yip has maintained the same fashion style for decades. Many joked that his flared pants now align perfectly with the Y2K trend, saying “he’s been ahead of fashion all along” and even quipping that “Pharrell might take inspiration from him.” Others praised him as a devoted father.

Some also pointed out that his son resembles Jacky Heung, jokingly calling the encounter “a wild sighting of Bobby Yip and Jacky Heung.”
