Although Thuy Dung has settled in the US with her family, she still travels back and forth to Vietnam. The last time we met, she told me: actually, I like living in Vietnam better!

In America, Thuy Dung's family owns a nail salon, and she is also familiar with business (when living in Vietnam, Thuy Dung opened a nail salon).fashionin Da Nang and then real estate business) so helping the family "was not a problem".

Ask her, rarely receiveshowCan you take care of yourself like that? Dung smiled and said: "More than enough, just can't take care of others yet."

Born in 1990, the youngest child in the family, Thuy Dung said that she enjoyed all the advantages of being the youngest child, living in a house "like the center of the universe", being able to do as she pleased, without pressure, nor being urged to get married.

The beauty of beauty queens in everyday life.

She also happily boasted that she is a rare beauty queen in showbiz who does not have and does not need a stylist. “My fashion sense fluctuates a lot. Luckily, I have a good body shape, so I can wear anything, without needing expensive, branded clothes.”

Another rarity of Thuy Dung is that since her coronation until now, she has affirmed that she has never had cosmetic surgery, only had braces to have a brighter smile. "It's not that I'm prejudiced or hate cosmetic surgery, but when I really feel the need to do it, I will do it without delay. I still practice yoga and gym, still eat healthy and live healthy, I don't abstain from anything, but the secret to maintaining beauty is having a healthy life from mind to body."

Thuy Dung was crowned Miss Vietnam when she was 18 years old.

Explaining the reason for her slimmer face after being crowned, Thuy Dung said: "During the time of wearing braces, because she couldn't eat much, her body became thinner, her jawbone also became smaller, so her face looked slimmer."

One aspect of life in America that Thuy Dung enjoys is that no one knows who she is when she goes out. She doesn’t have to put on makeup or get ready every time she goes out. There aren’t too many acquaintances to greet. “Even though not many people in Vietnam know me, I’m not very active, but having said that, when I go out I still have to be neat and tidy, not too sloppy.”

Thuy Dung's way of speaking after more than 10 years of being crowned is still innocent and genuine. She is very far from things like pretentiousness, pretentiousness, cleverness... A person who knows her well in showbiz said that this could also be the reason why Thuy Dung possesses a desirable beauty but she cannot stand out in the entertainment industry. When I mentioned this evidence, the beauty queen laughed and said: I don't want to stand out at all. Live as you can, that's it, striving too much is tiring, and you age quickly!

She dreams of having a villain role in cinema.

Thuy Dung also seemed to be affected by the “not tactful” comment, because she later explained further: “To me, tactful means not sincere. Sincerity is not tactful. It’s hard to balance. There will always be people who hate you, as long as your husband loves you, that’s enough.”

I asked Dung if she was shocked when she first came to America, she said no because her family had settled there before. In America, Thuy Dung also had a very close girlfriend: "When I knew you would come, I was very happy"!

After a long enough time to look back, I asked Dung, right after being crowned (in 2008) and involved in a scandal, was there a time when Dung regretted participating in the Miss Vietnam contest. She immediately answered: “Not at all. Now, recalling the scandal feels strange, at that time I was a child, didn’t know what was going on, didn’t think about anything. I was crowned when I was only 18 years old, which for people in the Central region, is equivalent to 15 years old. Before that, I hadn’t been out in the world, I had no experience at all. No one in the family talked about it with me. My parents were very worried, we were from the countryside, while I was still carefree, like even if the sky fell, it wouldn’t matter.”

Thuy Dung is a beauty queen who lives a rather private life and rarely participates in showbiz.

Due to the pandemic, all of Thuy Dung's artistic and business activities have been put on hold, however, she said she still loves being an actress and making movies. The beauty queen's dream is to take on a villain role to surprise everyone.

Regarding love, Thuy Dung's ideal man is someone "educated, well-behaved, rich or poor is not important, but must be a decent person. Has self-respect. Even if rich, he will never say he is a tycoon".
