Actor Daniel Wu drew widespread attention on November 11 after posting a candid photo of himself and wife Lisa S on Instagram. The photo, taken during a recent magazine shoot, sparked both admiration and criticism from online viewers.
In the post, Daniel wrote, “I’m working with my wife for the first time in 23 years! Our first job was shooting the cover of a magazine in Hong Kong. At the time we had just started secretly dating (the paparazzi were relentless at the time so we kept our relationship private for over a year) and it just so happened the magazine paired her with me. Now we’re working together again officially! So fun!”
While many fans celebrated the couple’s strong bond, praising them for being both life partners and now professional collaborators, others zoomed in on Lisa S’s appearance, calling it “unkempt” and “masculine.” Comments ranged from teasing to harsh, with users writing, “She looks more manly than Daniel,” “He did her no favors with this photo,” and “I thought that was a male colleague, not his wife.”
The wave of comments even revived past remarks made by Daniel Wu in an old interview, where he stated, “In our 10-year marriage, there’s no sexual relationship,” attributing it to health reasons. He emphasized that their bond centers on “family growth and the joy of friendship.” Some netizens sarcastically quipped, “Now it all makes sense.”
Despite the stir, Daniel has not responded to the criticism, maintaining silence as the post continues to circulate.
Daniel Wu and Lisa S have been married for 13 years and reside in San Francisco, California. The couple is known for keeping their private life low-key. On social media, Daniel frequently refers to Lisa as his ideal companion and “the light of my life.” In recent years, he’s stepped back from showbiz to prioritize family life.
Born in California in 1974 to Chinese parents, Daniel was inspired by Jet Li’s Shaolin Temple at age 11 and began training in traditional martial arts. He moved to Hong Kong in 1997 to pursue acting, rising to fame with roles in City of Glass, One Nite in Mongkok, Love Undercover, Overheard, and more. He’s also starred in Hollywood blockbusters like Warcraft and Tomb Raider, and dabbled in modeling and hosting. Most recently, he partnered with an educational organization to teach English to Chinese learners.
His wife, Lisa S, is a model and the daughter of the chairman of Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. The couple welcomed their daughter in June 2013.
