Leehom Wang’s “Saliva Hair Gel” Disgusted Fans
The image of Leehom Wang (王力宏) was dashed when ardent fans turned up for his concert at Foshan, Guangdong and witnessed the distasteful act of Leehom using his saliva as hair gel.
After singing his last song, Leehom laid down on the floor, which was nothing unusual as he often did that in his concerts. What happened next was not part of his usual routine though. He licked his fingers to style his coiffure. Leehom’s actions were caught on camera by his fans.
When the photographs went online, fans were shocked. Some fans were disgusted that the clean boy image Leehom portrayed was just a facade. Leehom’s boyish good looks and musical talents earned him droves of fans and nods from critics. Advertisers love his clean-boy image and he is seen often on television and billboards around Asia. However, the perfect image they have of their idol was dashed in an instant by his unhygienic “saliva hair gel” act.
Deliberate Act
All is not in vain for Leehom though. There are hardcore fans who stand by him. Some believed that it was a deliberate act by Leehom to shock his fans. With so many fans around, and he being the spotlight of the night, he must know that all eyes were on him. As such, he knew he would be photographed and it was his intention to shock his fans with his gesture.
In fact, it melds well with Leehom’s straightforward character. He has always been known to be a person of little pretense. More often than not, he was photographed in tattered clothing as well as unkempt hair. On countless occasions, he posted unshaven photographs of himself on Weibo.
While Leehom should be applauded for his talents and not his image, there are others who may see his “saliva hair gel” act as a matter of distasteful hygiene.

he looks so skinny it makes his nose look big
No big deal……all brokebacks use saliva whenever lubricants are needed……it just happens to be his hair…….haha…
And you would know because..,,,?
am i the only one who doesnt think its a big deal?? man…why do people always blow small things out of portion
Nah….nbd.
What i find worst was seeing asian mothers using their salivas to clean their babies faces… now that’s ewww.
This is so funny, I think only mere mortals can only be “allowed” to be seen picking their nostrils, scratching their butts, even smelling their armpits… Poor Guy
I was so shocked at seeing his picture above. He looks so different. But then he aged.
It’s just saliva.
I can think of worse substances to put in your hair.
dd,
Are you thinking “There’s Something About Mary”?
Haha! I love “There’s Something About Mary”? What a funny movie. Just recalling that scene made me laugh.
O yeah that movie s hilarious.
Lol when I first read that, I thought gross, then saw the video, he barely touched his fingertip to his tongue.
Am I the only one who got this moment as a JOKE from the very start?? Come on! Leehom is not the first guy to do that “coolness joke” with the salvia in his hair! I guess Chinese people don’t understand this kind of humour?? I’m very irritated! LOL
Chinese people takes a dump on the side streets and plenty of filthy public lavatories … yet they are grossed out with some dude touching his hair with saliva?
Lol
this “handsome-prince” is always adorable and humble and living a simple and moderate lifestyle (as jerry yan)..he has help in charitable deeds alot.. he is multi-talented.. hope his relations with li-yundi can be even deeper and rocks us!!
Im not sure if you guys noticed, it’s the latest trend among gay men to keep goatee, moustache or scruffy look.
That explains the unshaven look
yes.. thats what generally they been “type-cast” as gays if having goatee, moustache and unshaven look…some think its hot. Do the ladies agree?
Another stupid comment! They all gotta change their looks around.
Are you suggesting Brad Pitt with his Chanel ad is now a homo?
I can’t believe the amount of narrow minded ignorance of people around.
And I don’t mean western celebrities. I’m only talking about Chinese gay men in general who are opting for this kinda look lately. And it doesn’t mean all men.
Btw it’s not even an opinion but it’s based on the fact among my gay friends.
hcfoo: spot on! it’s THE accessory
Nonsense!
I have gay friends who have had this look as long as long as i can remember. And straight friends doing it now.
Jeez… you must live in a very shallow and small pond. Open your eyes!
ps These friends of mine are mainly in the design and creative world.
I just find that act funny. It’s deliberate and meant as a joke.
i tot this is just part of the show.. no big deals.. hmm.. nothing wrong..he still look good.. hahaha..
yea..still not big fuss…still look handsome.. its not like he is “picking nose” or “scratching” which maybe is worse
Yikes. That’s disgusting for his clean & gentleman image :p
John Travota did it in Grease…
another slow news day huh? the only thing “disgusting” or “distasteful” about this is that YOU thinking that this is news-worthy. come on!
What a big deal ?? Ppl just like to made big story out of it. dont think it’s an issue at all.
Don’t see what the big deal is. I doubt fans are actually disgusted by this. Those people probably aren’t even fans to begin with.
Never realised how big and wide his nose is…
Anyway, never really noticed him.
no big deal. hot imo.
Get a grip. It’s the fans who build up expectations of their idols as being perfect. I’m sure Leehom farts like everybody else.
YOU HAVE COMMON SENSE
It is his saliva, it is his hair. what is the blasted big deal. It is not like he styled the hair of a fan or his crew with his saliva. That is what I meant when I say these worshipping fans need to wake up. The worship these celebrities, and when the celebs do something they think is human and not angelic, they want to throw them in hell’s fire. Stupid fans need a wake up call. These men and women are human with their demons and bad habits and dirty secrets in their lives.
Erhhh. the correct tittle should be Leehom Wang’s “Saliva Hair Gel” Disgusted Netizens …or whatever . I don’t know who would feel so but his real fans know him well enough to not be supprised at all LOLs We love this Leehom :))
PS. If a real Leehom’s fans saying they are shock, disgust or whatever about him the media should never take it serious unless they have no sense of humors. He has been given many stupid nickname by his fans, they scold him everytime about everything , not a big deal at all 😀
Yah, it is really distasteful and dirty to see a respected icon doing this act in a ahow. He is actually insinuating that he is gay, using saliva during sex for lubrication. This is really uncalled for and he should have thought about ahead before doing it as repertoire… He is shameful for this act. Fans should castigate him and discipline him.
This is my own opinion only. No Malice.
