Hanoi [Vietnam], February 25: Tuyen Map recently shared about the changes she's undergone after losing over 20 kg, and also revealed her partner's reaction when she decided to improve her appearance.
On the morning of February 24th, actress Tuyen Map appeared at an opening event, making an impression with her stylish outfit inspired by the traditional Vietnamese "ba ba" dress. She had the opportunity to reunite with close colleagues such as People's Artist Hong Van, People's Artist Trinh Kim Chi , artist Hoang Map, artist Binh Tinh, singer Pha Le, and others.
The transformation of Tuyen Map
According to Tuyen Map, at her peak, her weight reached nearly 130 kg. After a while, the actress lost weight to 103 kg. However, to ensure suitability for a character in a film project, she gained weight again to 108 kg. Currently, Tuyen Map's weight is 104 kg. "When you reach 40 years old, losing weight becomes even more difficult," the star of the film " Southern Forest Land " expressed.
Sharing about her journey of changing her appearance, Tuyen Map said that after losing about 12 kg, she was worried about the impact on her skin. The artist believes: "My goal when losing weight wasn't to look beautiful, because people were already used to my curvier appearance. But later, because my health wasn't stable, and I wanted to live longer with my child and be healthier, I decided to embark on a weight loss journey. At one point, my body mass index was too high, which could lead to complications. My BMI at that time was also above the normal range."
Tuyen Map further recounted that three years ago, she joined the IDECAF theater group . At that time, the actress weighed 130 kg, making all movements on stage difficult. "On stage, I have to do many things, from dancing and acting to singing. That weight significantly affected my artistic activities. For example, after performing a dance routine, I could only stand there catching my breath, and sometimes I couldn't even deliver my lines," the 8X actress shared.
However, after losing weight, Tuyen Map felt a positive change in both her daily life and work. She said: "I feel lighter, so I'm more agile when dancing on stage. Through two seasons of the 'Once Upon a Time' program , I've noticed a significant change. I'm confident wearing high heels now, whereas before I didn't dare."
