Stopped acting to take care of family and children

- The audience was surprised to know that you are participating in the TV series "Sunflower Against the Sun". It has been a long time since "Song of the Sun", it has been 5-6 years since you acted in a TV series. Is there any specific reason for such a long hiatus?

It's true that it's been a long time since I've been back to acting in a TV series. As I've told you many times, it's because of family matters, my children are still young... During this time, if conditions allow and there's a good role, I'll participate.

- Last year when you received the title of People's Artist, you shared that you were looking forward to an impressive role to return to television, so surely the new role in "Sunflower Against the Sun" must meet that criteria? What is it about this character that made you agree to return to the screen?

At this age, it's not easy to get a good role, and if it coincides with the time conditions, it's even harder for me. The role of Bach Cuc in"Sunflower against the sun"This is the first role I have played that is different from the characters I have played before, and it is also a new challenge for me. But with the talent of director Vu Truong Khoa, I feel very confident in taking on this role.

What's interesting about acting again with two popular faces, Hong Diem and Quynh Kool?

"Sunflower against the sun"not onlyHaveHong Diem, Quynh Kool but also a strong young cast such as: Hong Dang, Dinh Tu, Luong Thu Trang, Doan Quoc Dam... You are all talents recognized by the audience. Especially my two daughters in the film are Hong Diem and Quynh Cool. You are all beautiful and talented actors, have been trained through many films so you have a lot of experience. What is more interesting is that in addition to talent and fame, you are easy to approach, easy to cooperate with and feel relieved every time you watch you.

Young people today have very good conditions to make films, have access to modern equipment and new ways of making films. Society has developed, and the way audiences judge is also more rigorous. You have to work very hard at your job, build your image... to be recognized by the audience, that is also a talent.

-TV serieshhas changed a lot, especially in the past 5 years, which is also the time you were absent from the screen. Returning to film this time, do you notice anything different?

It’s not just by participating in the film that you can see the change, just put yourself in the audience’s shoes and you can see the terrible change. As someone in the profession, I see a whole effort to change from filmmakers in terms of thinking, modern equipment, and investment in the artist’s image.

- Do you have any hopes or expectations for this role marking your return to the screen?

My role is not the main role so it is not easy to mark. But at least for me and my audience, Bach Cuc is a completely new role compared to Thu Ha's personality. So I hope I will complete it and be accepted by everyone.

Sometimes I feel pressured because of my image when I was young.

- Known to many audiencesThu HaMany years ago, I was still very impressed with your beauty and acting in classic films such as "La ngoc canh vang" and "Dem hoi Long Tri". Until now, many people still refer to you with the phrase "Thu Ha La ngoc canh vang". Do you think that you have "dead roles" and it is difficult to overcome the shadow of the films that made your name in the past?

ActuallyJade leaves and golden branchesjust a name in a very successful film by director Vu Chau. I don't think I died in that role. Because if so, I wouldn't have been able to have the following roles and career achievements.

- Looking at your image, even though you are 50 years old, you are still beautiful and youthful. Is there any secret to staying young and beautiful for a long time that People's Artist Thu Ha has applied to become an "ageless beauty?"?

Sometimes I feel pressured by my image when I was young. I live carefree but every time a wrinkle appears, my close friends wonder, let alone the audience who love me see me change. However, many people say I look younger than my age. I have no secret other than living carefree.

Life will inevitably have difficulties, we must calmly accept and overcome them, overcome the troubles that affect health and beauty. As women, of course everyone must care about beauty care.

What I care about most is my style. Every day is like a role. I dress differently. But I tend to dress more youthfully, so people see that.

- For many years, you have been working almost exclusively at the Hanoi Drama Theater and rarely participated in other activities, and rarely acted in films to spend time taking care of your family. Many audiences regret that someone as beautiful and talented as you has been "so quiet"!

During the many years I stopped acting, my friends and relatives felt sorry because each year chased away spring, especially at the most beautiful times of age. But for me, it was not because I had strived hard and achieved what I wanted in my career. That was also the time when I wanted to rest and spend more time on my life.

The female artist sums up her current life in two words "peaceful".

-Although she is famous, she is always an unknown, not even posting her real name on her personal page and keeping her private life completely private. What makes her live the life of a famous artist but still keep almost all personal and family information private, even before the current era of social media explosion?

I know that the press and audience always love me. But really, I only want to appear when there are professional events. My personal page is also for me to meet and interact with friends and relatives, mainly through messages. It is also not a place for me to express too many private emotions.

- How can People's Artist Thu Ha's current life be summed up?

My current life can be said to be "peaceful". Thank you for your support. It is also the motivation for me to continue to complete my role to debut in the near future.
