Recently, the website 163 published an article discussing the changing appearance of actress LÆ°u Diệc Phi at the age of 37. Despite this, she still maintains the title of “goddess” while selectively using images that have been heavily edited to deceive audiences.
According to 163, LÆ°u Diệc Phi is a symbol of beauty in the Chinese film industry. She became famous at the age of 16 and quickly associated herself with the title “goddess” after her role as the character VÆ°Æ¡ng Ngữ Yên in Thiên Long Bát Bá»™ (2003).
However, after 30 years, LÆ°u Diệc Phi’s appearance has undergone significant changes. The actress has been gaining weight, which she struggles to manage. Recently, blogger LÆ°u Äại Chuyển encountered LÆ°u Diệc Phi at the airport and remarked, “LÆ°u Diệc Phi has put on weight.”
This topic has attracted over 90 million interactions on social media platform Weibo. Among them, numerous users expressed concerns about LÆ°u Diệc Phi’s well-being, noting her lack of presence in films.
However, some individuals argue that LÆ°u Diệc Phi is still stunning. The actress has a complex relationship with maintaining her weight and often lacks confidence in her body image. She reportedly believes that embracing her natural self while avoiding surgery is essential. Yet, she frequently posts edited images that present her as slim and youthful, reminiscent of her appearance in her twenties, to maintain the “goddess” label.
Despite this, fans of LÆ°u Diệc Phi also criticize her for not adhering to the “slim-boned square shoulder” aesthetic, often posting images that showcase her more natural look.
In contrast, LÆ°u Diệc Phi seems to lead a life of freedom without needing to adhere to others’ opinions, focusing instead on self-love. However, her choice to edit her images to match current trends has led to controversy among millions of fans. Many believe that LÆ°u Diệc Phi’s aging process does not align with the standards of beauty set by others.
Time and time again, images of LÆ°u Diệc Phi with her current physique have drawn significant attention, as seen in films where her appearance was excessively modified, such as in Äi Äến NÆ¡i Có Gió, Câu Chuyện Hoa Hồng. Images showcasing her true beauty alongside issues like weight gain and broader hands and waist have circulated online, igniting debates. Audiences believe that maintaining her appearance at LÆ°u Diệc Phi’s age can be quite challenging and requires a keen sense of self-awareness and a strict diet regimen.
For actresses, experiencing moments of weight gain is usually a common occurrence, but the ongoing association of LÆ°u Diệc Phi with the “goddess” label as she approaches her forties has led to much discussion. Many netizens feel that LÆ°u Diệc Phi only needs to step away from Photoshop to be deemed “acceptable.” In reality, this is not the first instance where millions of viewers have questioned the discrepancy between her real beauty and the heavily edited images presented by the actress.
