Gillian Chung Reveals That Her Weight Gain Is For A New Role
The star, who was recently fat-shamed, said she suffered from stomach cramps and vomiting when preparing for her new movie that’s reportedly similar to Korean romcom 200 Pounds Beauty.
Hongkong singer-actress Gillian Chung recently became the unfortunate target of some very cruel fat-shaming comments after the trailer for variety show Twinkle Love, where she appears as a guest, was released last month. The Chinese media even (unnecessarily) guesstimated that she had put on “at least 18kg”.
As it turns out, the 40-year-old deliberately gained weight for a new role — think Renée Zellweger for Bridget Jones’s Diary or, in a local context, Rui En for 2016’s If Only I Could.
