Irene Wan "Almost Disfigured" When Hair Catches Fire During Photoshoot

Hong Kong actress Irene Wan recently suffered a scare when her hair caught fire during a photoshoot at a bar.

No, it’s not ‘cos she used too much hair spray.

Recounting the terrifying incident to Hong Kong media HK01, the 57-year-old said she was standing too close to a candle and when she leaned back, her hair caught fire.

Oblivious to the blaze, she continued posing.

Fortunately, her quick-thinking assistant rushed over to put out the flames and the actress unharmed.

“I was almost disfigured. I was so scared!" said Irene.

When asked about the condition of her hair following the incident, Irene said: “My hair might have thinned a bit. It needs some care to restore its beauty.”
