According to Taiwanese media, Takeshi has had some work done on his eyelids,
According to the media he's also been secretly married a couple of times, gay, and now trying for a baby.
I've seen comments about the surgery thing, but there are early pictures and even parts of certain movies where the epicanthic fold looks evident, then later the lids look "double" (The Odd One Dies for instance). I think it had to do with tiredness, etc. Now, I think it's due to age. He just seems way too low maintenance to go forward with that kind of surgery, no? He doesn't play up his image or looks at all (the media does that). If he's not promoting a movie/working he's nowhere to be seen (unfortunately).

Thanks for the pics!! I saw Red Cliff yesterday (it´s in the cinemas now in Spain) and I liked it a lot. He was gorgeous as usual (even with that little mustache) and his acting was great. I really enjoyed it.
Yes, it was quite an epic! John Woo is a master at organization if nothing else

. I saw the chopped down version of it at the Chicago Film Festival. It was very obvious that a lot had been taken out, mainly the character development, but you could still see what the relationships were like. Luckily the full length directors version came out here on DVD. He and Tony Leung have were so good, I liked Zhao Wei, too. Everyone in the theater really dug Takeshi though, he got the most reaction out of them.
