NBA player, Jeremy Lin’s (林書豪) basketball heroics were widely admired by Asians across the world. Jeremy was extremely popular in Taiwan, where his parents were born. Taiwanese actress, Annie Liu (劉心悠), also declared her love for the 23-year-old basketball sensation. Annie preferred athletic men and claimed that Jeremy Lin represented her ideal type of boyfriend! Annie Liu’s popularity increased in Hong Kong recently, after being rumored with Bu Bu Jing Xin <步步惊心> costar, Kevin Cheng (鄭嘉穎). Annie also appeared in Aaron Kwok’s (郭富城) new movie Floating City <浮城大亨>. She will next be seen in Director Patrick Kong’s (葉念琛) new romantic comedy, Natural Born Lovers <天生愛情狂> opposite Chilam Cheung (張智霖). The recent slew of high-profile projects has put Annie Liu under the limelight. Appearing as a guest at a charity basketball game yesterday, Annie urged young people to perform more volunteer work to benefit society. She hoped that she would serve as a good role model by immersing into charity work. At the basketball game, Annie also declared her admiration for NBA player, Jeremy Lin. After discovering that he was also of Taiwanese origin, Annie was extremely excited. She imagined that it may be possible to even be on the same airplane flight as Jeremy en route to Taiwan! Annie said excitedly, “Jeremy Lin is great! He gets every shot into the basket! He is like Superman!” Becoming a Jeremy Lin fan recently, Annie also indicated that she preferred to date athletic men as well. Known to have participated in several marathons, Annie often spent her spare time in active pursuits. Since her palms were too small, she noted that it was difficult for her to maintain control over a basketball. However, similar to rumored love interest, Kevin Cheng, it turned out that Annie’s best sport was tennis! She was once a school captain of the tennis club! Creds: Oriental Daily
