“最帅大爷”再上T台!88岁的他,一生堪称传奇……
近日,“最帅大爷”王德顺现身上海时装周走秀的视频火遍全网。
他标志性的白色长发、白色长髯以及健硕的身姿,搭配上一身亮眼的红色东北大花袄,以极具反差的冲击力燃爆全场。
A video of Wang Deshun, an 88-year-old model and actor, strutting the catwalk at Shanghai Fashion Week has swept the internet. His distinctive white beard and robust physique, complemented by a vibrant red suit, captivated the audience with a striking contrast.
很多人因为王德顺在T台上的“霸气”走秀而留有印象,但很多人不知道的是,他还是《少年张三丰》里的老庄主、《闯关东》里的独臂老人、《剑雨》里的神捕。
他说:“该炫自己的时候,千万别对自己手软!”
Born in 1936, this 88-year-old grandpa's spirit is as strong as ever. "I still have dreams and pursuits. I can do now what I could not do in the past, and that is what rebirth should be about."
王德顺年轻时是沈阳一家话剧团的话剧演员,20余年的表演生涯,他自觉遇到了瓶颈,于是49岁的他冒出了“辞职去北京”的念头。
活人和雕塑一起表演,对于50多岁的他,身体外形条件就是一个巨大的挑战。
Due to the physical requirements of pantomime, Wang, at 50 years old, decided to hit the gym. Training for two hours was followed by two hours of swimming every single day for 30 years, which helped him shape a healthy and strongly-built body.
而这,还仅仅只是他“人生巅峰”中的其中一个。
1987年,王德顺曾接受北京时装俱乐部的聘请,为中国服装博览会培训时装模特。多年后,他的学生把他带上了T台。
"Thirty years ago, I used to train models how to walk with the help of my wife. One day (in 2015), one of our students asked about my body's condition, and I said it's fine. So I was invited to make an appearance in the show," Wang said, recalling the events that led to overnight fame.
不过,王德顺的传奇人生,还在不断书写。从40岁到80岁,在很多人看来是“后半生”的年龄段,王德顺一直在尝试新的事物,一直在挑战和超越自己。学英语、骑马,甚至学年轻人“打碟”。
直到85岁时,王德顺打算挑战他的人生新目标:学会开飞机。
民航局收到王德顺的申请时一度感到非常棘手,但经过两轮严苛的体检,王德顺的身体报告显示“未见异常”,负责人才批准了他的申请。
他每天花至少8小时上理论课,恶补空气动力学、气象学、飞行原理等高难度学科,回宿舍还要看书消化。
After making waves in the fashion industry as a male model in his late 70s, the then 85-year-old Wang was once again defying stereotypes concerning the elderly by taking on a new challenge: getting a pilot's license.
他以85岁的高龄坐上飞机进行实飞训练,在风云变幻的空中进行仪表操作、飞行控制,期间每一秒都需要他保持高度集中、快速反应。
The white-bearded Wang completed the flight in Beijing's Miyun district in an SW100 light aircraft and set a record by becoming the oldest person to undertake flight training in China. During the course of the flight, he completed turns and climbs on his own.
曾有无数次,别人问他:“为什么?”他的回答是:“不是所有事情都有为什么,这只是我的天性。”他一直在用与很多人不同的方式,重新定义自己的人生。
“相信我,人的潜能是能够挖掘的。当你说太晚了的时候,你一定要谨慎,它可能是你退却的借口。没有谁能够阻止你成功,除了你自己。”王德顺说。
