This Chinese Star Says She’s Become “Too Fat To Be An Actress” From Staying Home And Cooking All The Time

If you’ve been mostly stuck at home as a precautionary measure against COVID-19 and have noticed a little weight gain as a result, you can rest assured that you are not the only one.

Because of the outbreak, many events have been postponed or cancelled, and big-budget productions were forced to halt filming as well. This has placed many artistes on a sudden indefinite hiatus, with a number of them staying indoors while keeping fans updated on their day-to-day lives via social media.

One of them is Chinese actress Viann Zhang (also known as Zhang Xinyu), who has been posting photos and recipes of her cooking on Weibo. But instead of healthy-looking soups or boring salads, the 32-year-old has been whipping up rather sinful-looking dishes like biang biang noodles, mashed potatoes, and kimchi stew.
