Will 'Hanoi baby' Lan Huong 'have her face redone'?

People's Artist Lan Huong confirmed that she did not have plastic surgery but is not "photogenic" so people often comment that she is very different in real life than on screen.

Although officially retired from the Tuoi Tre Theater, the life of People's Artist Lan Huong "Little Hanoi" these days is still not leisurely. Her schedule is always busy with family work, teaching at school, painting, reading stage scripts... In addition, she also spends a lot of time on her spiritual life.

After a long absence from the small screen, in 2017, People's Artist Lan Huong made an impression when she appeared as a kind mother in the movie Living with Mother-in-law. In the movie Against the Tears, "Hanoi Baby" played the role of Mrs. Lam - a modern mother-in-law who always discriminates between her older daughter-in-law and her younger daughter-in-law. Already harboring a grudge, she was always harsh and harsh towards Mai (played by Phuong Oanh). Mrs. Lam even always stood up to defend her son's mistakes and showed annoyance when her husband advised her to be less harsh towards her daughter-in-law.

People's Artist Lan Huong shared that after retiring, she wanted to spend more time to show gratitude to the television audience, so she was willing to accept invitations to act in films. For her, becoming the first actress to win the TV audience's choice award in the past was a big milestone in her career.

With this comeback, in addition to compliments for her acting, People's Artist Lan Huong also received many mixed opinions about her appearance on screen. Some people said that her face had changed too much compared to before, and that People's Artist Lan Huong was unrecognizable when she played the role of Minh Van's (played by Bao Thanh) biological mother in Living with Mother-in-law.

Explaining this, "Hanoi Baby" said that because she plays the role of a teacher in the midland and mountainous region, she was asked to wear makeup to make her skin darker. In addition, losing weight also helps her face look much smaller than a few years ago. The actress admits that she is not "photogenic", so during her 45 years of pursuing acting, she has become too familiar with comments that Lan Huong on film is not as pretty as in real life. Many viewers recognized her and asked directly, "Why did I see you so ugly last night but see you so pretty today?" or "Did you just have cosmetic surgery?"

"Some people say that Lan Huong is different now, which is true because I used to weigh up to 60kg, so my face was as big as a plate. However, I feel very sad when someone tells me to go and do it again, to make my face plumper. Actually, I don't want to go back to the time when I weighed 60kg with a face like a tray, so I'm trying to massage and exercise so that my face can return to how it was 10 years ago," People's Artist Lan Huong shared. The actress said that she focuses on taking care of her beauty because she believes that "everyone wants to maintain their image because it's not only for those around them but also for themselves."

People's Artist Lan Huong "competed" with her daughter-in-law Thu Quynh when attending an event. In the movie "Against the flow of tears", Thu Quynh plays the role of the eldest daughter-in-law of Mrs. Lam, played by People's Artist Lan Huong.

However, People's Artist Lan Huong affirmed that she has never had plastic surgery or abused beauty procedures as many people speculate. She said: "Lan Huong did not have her face redone, never had her chin shaved, never had a nose job or eyelid surgery. I have never had my lips cut or lip implants. The nose is still Lan Huong's nose, the eyes and mouth are also Lan Huong's. I only had porcelain teeth because someone gave them to me and had Hifu (face lift) done several times to prevent my face from sagging." The actress believes that beauty is a growing trend in the world, so she supports cosmetic surgery. People's Artist Lan Huong added: "I don't have money like the rich girls, but if I did, I would still like to do it."

People's Artist Lan Huong was once mistaken for a girl by the audience when they met her in real life.

"Hanoi Baby" felt interested in all the comments about the difference between her beauty on film and in real life. Talking about an unforgettable memory, the actress said that once while walking on the street, she was asked by an audience "Are you Lan Huong?". When she answered "yes", the audience was very surprised and said: "You are so young and beautiful in real life. I just watched your interview on TV yesterday. I didn't believe what people said, but now that I've met you, I believe that you look much younger in real life than in the film and look like you're 35".

Once, when receiving a similar question, People's Artist Lan Huong pretended to answer "no" and they slapped their thighs and said: "I won! The others said you were Lan Huong, but I thought how could that be because yesterday I just watched a movie where Lan Huong looked very old. I also know that Lan Huong has been acting for nearly 50 years, so now she must be almost 70 years old. Time is really harsh". That audience member also believed that he was meeting People's Artist Lan Huong's daughter and commented "You look a lot like your mother when she was young!". In response to those interesting reactions from the audience, the actress shared that she could only "smile with her porcelain teeth".
