Actress Phanh Lee speaks out about rumors of same-sex love with MC Thu Hoai

Phanh Lee and Thu Hoai took a couple photo to 'flirt' on Facebook.

-You and Hoai always attract attention with couple photos with the same background or concept. There are rumors that "these two girls are gay", how do you react?

We are close friends so of course we often go out and travel together. Not only do we have the same hobby which is art, we are also passionate about photography. So every time we go out together we like to find new and beautiful angles, so pictures with similar backgrounds are created. In real life, we stick together but it seems like we have never heard of "these two girls are gay". But if there are rumors, it's okay because we are quite used to those rumors.

- As best friends, both beautiful and famous but single, it seems like being single is "contagious"?

Up to this point, we have known each other and been close for 4 years. It is not a very long time but it has somewhat influenced each other's personalities. In a positive way, we accept each other's opinions to change our bad personalities, gradually perfecting ourselves. In a negative way, we may have caught each other's single disease, and this disease is what Phanh caught from Hoai.

Although they were rivals on screen, the two girls are very close in real life.

- Hoai recently answered VietNamNet that she has been single for several Valentine's seasons, but what about Phanh? Actually, it seems wrong for a beautiful and famous actress to not be in love with anyone.

Phanh never said she was always single. It's just that unfortunately she was single most of the time when she gave interviews.

We are bored of taking couple photos together and want to add some new male faces to it. But fate is predestined, no one wants to be single forever.

-Being best friends in real life but playing rivals in movies, remembering the scenes where you glared at each other in 'Love then hate' must be funny. Is it really difficult to act out the roles of hating each other?

It was difficult at first. Every time there were tense scenes where we had to look at each other and yell at each other, we burst out laughing and got scolded by the director several times. But no matter how much he scolded us, we had to let the laughter subside before we could continue acting. After that, the work went smoothly, because it was our job, so we were very professional, only getting nervous in 1 or 2 scenes at the beginning.

- Playing the role of Kim, with a personality and somewhat masculine, is the role somewhat similar to Phanh's personality in real life?

Phanh will be strong like Kim until she finds a man who wants to love and protect her. Phanh thinks that no woman wants to be strong forever. Everyone wants to find a strong shoulder to lean on and so does Phanh.

Living with mother is like a princess, why rush to get married?

Nearly 30 years old but Phanh Lee is not in a hurry to get married.

-Nearly turning 30, Phanh's parents were worried and urged their daughter to get married?

Phanh feels very lucky because she has never heard a word of urging her to get married from her parents. On the contrary, Phanh once said to her mother: Mom, aren't you impatient? What if I'm still single? Phanh's mother comforted her: How can my daughter be single? Don't be in a hurry when you haven't found the right and worthy person.

I understand that what my mother needs is her child’s true happiness, not because people say that when you reach the age of marriage, you have to get married. So I am very leisurely. Living with my mother, I am like a princess, why rush to get married.

-Being so beautiful and famous, does Phanh have the "privilege" to choose the perfect man, for example, someone who is handsome, successful, and rich?

Everyone has the right to want the best for themselves. Phanh is no exception. Phanh tries hard to work, improve herself and Phanh thinks she also deserves to meet people who deserve her.

9X actress declares not to love anyone in showbiz.

- Phanh once declared that she would never love an artist, why is that?

Maybe it's fate that I've never dated an artist. But I myself want to love someone who is not in the same profession because I simply find different things more attractive and interesting.

-So if a rich man appeared and promised to fully support her life, buy her a big house, a luxury car, and pamper her to the fullest, what would Phanh do?

If that person is someone I love, then that's great. But if it's someone I don't have feelings for, no matter how much you want to give me, I will never accept it. I have enough ability to support myself. If I accept spending someone's money, it's because I love him. Because not everyone has the opportunity to spend money on me. Maybe I'm a girl who is a bit too romantic in her thinking. Many people say I'm foolish because I deserve such things, but I don't care. I know best what I need and want.
