Grandfather of actress and model, wins Gold at World Masters Games 2025

Proving that age is just a number, Laurence Quinlivan, 90, grandfather of actress and model Hannah Quinlivan, stole the spotlight at Taiwan’s World Masters Games, not only for his athletic performance – winning one gold and two silver medals – but also for his charming sense of humor.

On the opening day of the competition, May 18, Quinlivan won gold in javelin and silver in the 100m sprint in the 90+ age group.

Meanwhile, Jay Chou, 46, took to Instagram Stories on May 18 to congratulate his grandfather in law, posting a photo of Quinlivan being interviewed by the media with the proud caption:

“@hannah_quinlivan’s grandpa is awesome.”

Hannah Quinlivan, also known as Hannah Chou, is originally from Kaohsiung, where her father once ran a tutoring center.

Quinlivan is the grandfather of Chou’s wife, Hannah Quinlivan, a 31-year-old Taiwanese-Australian model and actress. Her father is Australian, while her mother is of Chinese and Korean descent.

Hannah also shared a heartwarming video of her grandfather sprinting down the track, captioned:

“Thank you for cheering for grandpa.”

Quinlivan’s inspiring participation not only highlights the spirit of lifelong athleticism but also shines a spotlight on how sport continues to unite and uplift—across generations.
