Dad Crush Monday: Blackie Chen

By Samantha Jong
April 3, 2017

Blackie Chen’s success story is rather unique — he started out as a professional basketball player star before entering show business.

Even though he currently spends more time on screen, Blackie has not forsaken the basketball industry and is currently the deputy leader of semi-professional Taiwanese basketball team, Fubon Braves, which Joseph Lin (brother of Brooklyn Nets’ Jeremy Lin), is on.

He continues to pursue his passion for the sport by taking time to get on to the court and he is determined to pass his enthusiasm for basketball to his twin boys Ryan and River. He once said in an interview that it was a must for his sons to love basketball. Better to start them young then!

這雙好穿到不行⋯⋯ #nikebasketball

And what goes hand in hand with basketball? Sneakers of course! Unsurprisingly, Blackie is a bona fide sneakerhead. His collection includes multiple basketball shoes, with different colour variations of the same shoe model.

It looks like his sons are already following in his footsteps when it comes to footwear.

突然發現兩雙都很經典! @fanfan ???????????????

One reason why we love Blackie, who is also known as Charles Chen and Chen Chien-Chou, is because he readily shares his life and photos on social media. Which other Asian star would post a bold photo like the one below?

誰也幫我做個手機殼送給 @fanfan 唄~~???

It’s also adorable that Christine has the same admiration for her husband’s impressive physique. Just look at the number of Blackie phone cases she acquired!

The pair dated for 10 years before they tied the knot in 2011. Blackie proposed to Christine while they were watching a Nets game.

Although he has many commitments on his plate, Blackie is a hands-on and involved Dad. When Christine was recovering from her c-section, he helped her pump breast milk.

謝謝媽媽和飛飛翔翔的手印卡片~~最棒的父親節禮物!??????

He dotes on his boys tremendously and is often spotted out and about with them.

This is probably one of our favourite photos of the twins — they’re dressed in identical jerseys with the number 93, which was Blackie’s jersey number when he was playing basketball in high school.

感謝NIKE特別幫飛飛翔翔也訂製了跟爸爸一樣的球衣~~~???????

We can’t wait to see what Blackie’s next steps will be and hopefully, they will involve his adorable sons!

驚!!!屁股有灼熱感~~~?????
