First sighting of Fan Bingbing in 135 days
The Chinese actress was seen and photographed on the streets of Beijing on Monday
held under house arrest by Chinese authorities who were investigating her tax evasion case. Her last public activity was when she visited a Children’s hospital in July.
The 37-year-old was fined RMB 884 million (approximately S$177 million) for evading taxes on October 3. The hefty fine barely left a dent in her finances, according to Chinese media, as she owns several properties and had reportedly sold off 41 properties to pay the fine.
Her showbiz future remains uncertain as brands discontinued their relationship with her after she went missing and was investigated for tax evasion. Bingbing’s name was also stripped off Unbreakable Spirit, a Chinese action flick co-starring American actor Bruce Willis and Korean actor Song Seung-heon.
