For Some Reason He Won't Do The Nutcracker...

A retired male factory worker has taken up an unexpected new role in China - as a self taught ballerina.

Tu Fei, 62, says he loves playing the swan in Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake - and will perform it until the day he dies. He started teaching himself ballet 12 years ago from books and television shows, reports Chutian Metropolis News.

Tu, who previously worked in a heavy machinery factory in Wuhan, Hubei province, now dances at private functions, such as weddings and business events. "When performing, if I wear a mask, the audience would think I am a professional female dancer, although my shape is a bit chubby," he said.

"Dancing is my life now. I'll dance Swan Lake until my dying day."

I wonder what his mates from the factory think?

Is it me or does that look like Jackie Chan?
