Kelly Fu made the right choice with ugly girl role
4 May – Despite the poor reviews and low ratings of the recently concluded TVB series, "Swipe Tap Love" model-turned-actress Kelly Fu stated that she is still happy for her decision to play an ugly girl, Diana Jiao Fei in the series as it has helped her gain more attention from viewers.
As reported on On CC, the actress stated, "My modelling agency was at first reluctant to let me play this role. They think that the exaggerated make-up and old-fashioned style will damage my reputation as a model."
"But I was adamant to play the role and was finally able to convince the company to let me do it," she enthused.
She added that the public now are more aware of who she is, and even call her "Jiao Fei" when they see her.
However, Kelly admitted that she was nervous at first when turning into her character for the first time, that she didn't dare look at herself in the mirror.
"But it's fun!" she enthused, "I think I have a little potential for comedy, and I want to thank the producer for giving me this opportunity and also [co-star] Eddie Kwan for helping me a lot!"
