According to Hong Kong media reports, Julian Cheung have gained so much weight in recent months that he had lost the lean figure he had during his latest drama Triumph in the Skies II.

The 42-year-old, who showed off a suave image as pilot "Captain Cool" in the drama, won the adoration of many fans, some of whom were amazed at how fit he looks even in his 40s.

However, during a family vacation to Singapore recently, the actor was spotted with a pot belly while having a swim with his son. The photographs showed a rounder looking Julian with obvious love handles – a stark difference to his image in Triumph in the Skies II. It is speculated that he has gained about 9kg of weight.

Julian's weight gain was said to be because of his wife, actress Anita Yuen, who is afraid that her husband would stray if he maintained his lean and mean body.

The older Anita, who lost her svelte figure after having a son, had set out to keep him well-fed after filming for his drama ended seven months ago. The actress also reportedly takes charge of finances in the household and has the final say on the female co-stars her hubby could collaborate with.

An insider source said, "If Julian had to do intimate scenes with flirty or well-endowed female artists in a drama, Anita will never agree to it."

On the other hand, Anita is said to feel more at ease if the female co-stars were people with relatively little scandals, like Myolie Wu and Fala Chen.
