The Cover That Started It All
When Daniel Wu flashed a “nude” look on a magazine cover, it wasn’t just for the eye‑catching snap— it became the spark that lit a 19‑year long romance. Even though the photoshoot was a bit of a trick with a g‑string subtly airbrushed out, the image was a game‑changer for the couple.
First Glance, Forever Bond
On December 12th, the 47‑year‑old actor shared the photo on Instagram, laughing, “I wasn’t actually nude, just a g‑string that’s been smoothed out. Not sure if that’s any better… but this cover was the first time my wife saw me.” He recalled the moment:
- ⁂ “She was coming off the Star Ferry in Hong Kong and stopped dead in her tracks.”
- ⁂ They finally met a year later, and now they’re together for nearly two decades with their darling daughter, Raven.
Daniel’s post turned a simple magazine cover into a postcard of how a single, unexpected sight can kick off an entire story.
Love, Laughter, & a Dash of Silly Hygiene
Last April, the actor dropped another quirky snippet about his marriage. He posted a photo of a hand sanitizer bottle with the tag “Maybe you touched your genitals.” In the caption, he teased:
- “Hand sanitizer has become a rare commodity these days. We found this on Amazon. It should work, right?”
- “Honestly, after almost ten years of marriage, I’d say my genitals are the cleanest part of my body, so why would I need to sanitise after touching them?”
When a comment asked for clarification, Daniel replied simply, “Lack of use.” He made it clear he was poking fun at the pandemic “coronavirus craziness” with a bit of humor.
Why This Matters
The couple’s tales show that in a world full of guidelines and filter bubbles, sometimes the most heartwarming stories come from the unexpected— a glossy cover, a harmless joke, or a quiet ferry stop. Each little moment built on the last, proving that even a photo can be the beginning of a lifetime.
