Raymond Lam’s New Shocking Weight Loss
Raymond Lam (林峯) made an appearance at the IFPI Hong Kong Top Sales Music Awards with a significantly slimmed down physique. Dropping down to 140 pounds, Raymond’s face was noticeably haggard.
To prepare for his concert in Guangzhou at the end of September, Raymond has been under intense training and keeping a strict diet. Slimming down to a shocking 140-pounds, the 5-feet-11-inch star surprisingly said that he had dropped more weight–to 139 pounds–during his last tour in Hong Kong.
Raymond said, “I have a concert in Guangzhou on September 23. I have to take off my top during the concert so that’s why I have to lose some weight. However, this weight loss process has caused a lot of psychological stress because I really love eating. I hope that I’ll be able to eat normally after the 23rd.”
On whether or not his girlfriend, Karena Ng (吳千語), feels sad for him, Raymond added, “No – in fact, she wants me to keep it up because clothes look better on me when I’m thinner.”
Taking a small break in his music career after his concert in Guangzhou, Raymond will concentrate on filming two TV shows and a movie.
Thoughts On Karena Staying Over
Karena Ng has been sleeping over at Raymond’s house in order to spend more time together. Raymond said, “You can’t help it with the nature of our work; we’re just like any normal couple. Staying over is normal and our dating style is no different than anyone else’s. She is currently focused on her own work first. We haven’t put any thoughts into marriage yet.”

140 lbs for 5’11 is crazy!!!!!!!
@happybi 140lbs is no shocking. Chinese guys these days need to look prepubescent. But 5’11?? Oh come on!
@funnlim “….Chinese guys these days need to look prepubescent…”
Said who?
I know, most of them already act like they are, especially the middle aged ones. But to look like one? LOL!!
What’s up with Asian guys thinking skinny is the way to go? Why not try buff? They can eat more AND look good.
Annnnd – his GF is crazy. I think Raymond looked loads better when he had meat prior to his crazy diet.
@coralie yeah I dont think its responsible for her to be encouraging him to stay at that weight. I know someone like him sam height and weight but he has eating problems.
@megamiaow Agree, it is not responsible behaviour from Karena at all. You know, ever since Raymond started dating her, he is making a lot of questionable decisions. I also don’t see the need to take off clothes at a concert. You are there to sing, and throw in some dance moves, which naturally goes with the singing. Since when has a singing concert become a stripping show? Keep your top on Raymond, no one wants to see your skeletal frame.
@coralie Agreed. Why would you value your partner’s looks over their health?? Not to mention that he doesn’t look that good so skinny anyway…
I wonder why Raymond doesn’t weight train instead. Maybe being more muscular would be better than just straight up losing weight, especially for guys. Weight is not equivalent of health or attractiveness.
“No – in fact, she wants me to keep it up because clothes look better on me when I’m thinner.”
Her real meaning is ” Raymond BB, I HATE YOU!
@funnlim lol
As people grow older, if they try and become too thin it will just make them look old and and wrinkly. Raymond is at an uncling age so it’s not the best strategy right now. Not everyone can look like Pierre Ngo and Oscar Leung. Raymond should just let weight drop naturally since he is moving a lot while practicing for his concerts anyway.
When one looks at him now, two thoughts would come to mind: either 1) he is on drugs or 2) he is suffering from cancer.
Jesus the guy looks like he’s suffering from anorexia 🙁
Lol. I see something is hanging from the bottom of his jacket it looked funny. He doesn’t seems that tall I would say he’s around 5’9? I mean Leanne Li is 5’9 and she looks taller than that. Oh well.
look like he’s going for the lollipop look. in the ming pao pictures, his shirt looks like an open diaper shirt!
Too thin, looks sickly.
His face looks very very elongated.
I don’t believe he’s 5’11”. Must paid media to claim so. Height wise, he’s like US Tom Cruise who’s short but looks taller because the way the camera films.
Raymond, what happened? 🙁
Back when I was a fan of him many years ago as a teenager, I really loved his Drive of Life look. Healthier and much more handsome.
Over the years the poor guy looks overworked. He should let weight loss happen naturally not go into some extreme dieting plan when it was not needed. Definitely agree on building muscle instead. His response re: Karena is a total head scratcher.
wow he look old and haggard ! uncle lam lol
