Chinese actor Huang Xiaoming has publicly denied rumors that he underwent cosmetic procedures after being directly questioned about his youthful appearance on a television variety show. The topic emerged during the premiere of the new season of the popular reality program Chinese Restaurant: Southeast Asia Flavors, which featured model and actress Qu Ying as a special guest.
During a conversation with fellow cast members, including Karry Wang, Jiang Yan, and Kun Ling, the discussion turned to age.
Huang Xiaoming revealed that he is now 49 years old. Noticing his youthful appearance, Qu Ying unexpectedly asked him: “How many cosmetic procedures have you had done?” The direct question immediately drew attention from both the cast and viewers.
Caught off guard, Huang Xiaoming repeatedly waved his hands and denied the allegation. “No, that’s really not the case,” he responded. However, Qu Ying remained unconvinced and jokingly replied: “That can’t be true.” The exchange briefly created an awkward atmosphere on set.
Actress Jiang Yan quickly stepped in with a joke to ease the tension. “Does Botox count?” Her comment prompted laughter from those present and helped steer the conversation in a lighter direction.
Following the episode’s broadcast, clips of the conversation spread rapidly across Chinese social media platforms. While some viewers were amused by the candid interaction, others criticized Qu Ying for raising what they considered a sensitive topic on national television.
Many netizens argued that directly questioning a colleague about cosmetic surgery in a public setting was inappropriate, regardless of whether the question was intended humorously.
