HONG KONG - Actor-singer Alex To now has the dubious honour of being the most under-dressed artist ever to perform at the Hong Kong Coliseum, reported Ming Pao Daily.

At his Saturday concert, To stripped to a sparkly pair of briefs while performing his 2004 classic, Take Off, and revealing a not-so-perfect yet washboard body any 52-year-old like himself could be proud of.

Take Off, a song about letting go and containing lyrics about stripping, came at the end of his gig marking his return to the arena after 21 years.

Watched in the audience by celebrities such as Tony Leung Ka Fai, Kenny Bee and Ekin Cheng, To was dressed in a suit when he started his striptease. Near the end, he had only a pair of boxer shorts on before he stripped to his undies.
