Chinese star 'laughs and cries' when mistaken for Pham Bang Bang

The British Daily Mail once reported on Pham Bang Bang and the blockbuster "Legend of Wu Meiniang" but the illustrative photo was of Truong Hinh Du.

The beauty surnamed Truong did not take the matter seriously. She once said: "It was just a photo posted by mistake that made people laugh. But I'm still happy, Ms. Bang Bang is so beautiful." The British press said that both of them have straight noses and small, pretty mouths, so it's easy to mistake them. Photo: Pham Bang Bang (left), Truong Hinh Du (right).

At the opening ceremony of the 66th Cannes International Film Festival, Zhang Yuqi was the first Chinese star to appear on the red carpet. She confidently posed, smiled brightly and blew kisses to foreign media. However, the beauty was a bit embarrassed when reporters called her “Bingbing”.

At the red carpet of the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, Fan Bingbing and Li Bingbing both attracted the attention of the Western media. From their faces, hairstyles to their outfits, the two beauties have similar features, to the point that the foreign press mistook Li Bingbing for Fan Bingbing and vice versa.

Another funny situation was when famous American director Brett Ratner (director of the movie “Rush Hour” starring Jackie Chan) met and took a photo with Li Bingbing at the event. He posted the photo on his personal page and “confessed” to Fan Bingbing. He wrote: “I hope Fan Bingbing can act in one of my movies or even marry me.”

After fans complained, director Ratner realized he was wrong. He quickly “fixed the situation”: “Please forgive my mistake. This is the one and only Li Bingbing, the ideal wife of my heart. I apologize to all her fans.” Li Bingbing refused to respond to this.

Many people think that Ly Tieu Lo's face has a straight nose and eyebrows similar to Pham Bang Bang's, so foreigners have difficulty distinguishing.

The eyes and nose are quite similar, causing Duong Mich and Pham Bang Bang to be confused by foreign media. American fashion magazine Vogue once published a photo of Duong Mich and captioned it with the name "Pham Bang Bang". Duong Mich once responded to this at a press conference: "Pham Bang Bang is an actress I especially like, we are both Virgos, we both like to pursue beauty. If someone mistakes me for 'Fan Gia', that is also a very happy thing."

The new star of Chinese entertainment - actress Tran Dinh Gia - was present at the Cannes Film Festival. While posing on the red carpet, a loud voice suddenly called out "Ms. Pham" from behind her, making Dinh Gia embarrassed and other members of her film crew unhappy. However, the beauty still turned back, smiled and let reporters take pictures.

When reporting that Pham Bang Bang was on the list of 10 highest-earning female stars voted by Forbes magazine, a foreign newspaper used a photo of actress Tran Thuat (left) as an illustration.
