Myolie Wu's Sacrifices for Acting

​

To become an outstanding actress is difficult, and Myolie Wu (胡杏兒) made a large sacrifice to reach where she stands today. Many people’s first impression of Myolie came from her drama, To Grow With Love <肥田囍事>. As a Miss Hong Kong second runner-up, she was willing to gain 50 pounds and assume an unflattering body image. It took courage to look ugly in front of the camera, especially at a time when Myolie still lacked popularity.

The audience sees the fame public figures have, but the sweat and tears that lie behind the screen are never as prominent. No one could guarantee which drama would serve as a popularity boost for an actress. No one knows how many dramas it would take before an actress becomes popular.

Nonetheless, Myolie was willing to take a risk. It was easy for everyone to remember her from her overweight image in To Grow With Love, but her hard work eventually paid off. She is now one of the top four fadans at TVB, and has secured her spot as Best Actress. At this point, not many would continue to associate Myolie with her character back in 2006. Even if people still do, it just shows that Myolie had placed her best efforts in her career. Today, it is hard to say which is her best-known role, since many are classics.

Myolie has already reached the top, but she continues to strive forward and never gave up filming. With a packed schedule almost every day, she barely has time to rest. She is popular, but she does not seem like a big celebrity to the audience. Instead, Myolie gives off a vibe of familiarity and a sense of closeness. She is the kind of person who always appears cheerful with a big smile to greet the public.

Love for Cats

When she returns home after a tiring day of filming, Myolie finds joy in her cats. Proud owner of nine cats, Myolie is definitely a cat lover. The majority of her pets are stray cats that she adopted off the streets. Myolie constantly shares pictures of them on her Weibo blog.

Women resemble cats in the way that they need someone to care for them, but would always preserve their individuality. No matter how hard life turns out to be, they would always proudly hold up their chest. Loving cats so dearly, perhaps Myolie believes that cats have the best posture.

As long as there are stray cats loitering when the cast is filming, Myolie is sure to rush over and provide them with food and water. When shooting a magazine cover with a cat, Myolie suggested taking breaks, afraid that the cat would be tired. She clearly cares a lot about the furry animals.
