Fann Wong Career

Early days: television career
Born in Singapore to Hakka tailor parents, Fann shared her childhood with three siblings—an older sister, as well as a younger brother and sister. She was educated at Temasek Secondary School, where she took her GCE ‘O’ Level examinations in 1987.

Wong was a child actor while in primary school and featured in several SBC children’s programmes. At the age of 16, she won a beauty contest organised by Her World, a Singapore fashion magazine. She started a successful modelling career in Singapore, and spent the next two years modelling part-time while taking her GCE ‘A’ Level examinations at a private school. She afterward earned a diploma in fashion merchandising from LIFS.

Fann moved to Taiwan in 1993. One of her earliest successes was in an Oil of Ulan (now Oil of Olay) commercial aired in Taiwan and Singapore. The following year, a Singaporean television producer discovered her and cast her in Dreams Come True, a Singapore drama series. Fann soon starred in two more Singapore television series, The Challenger and Chronicle of Life.

After a year in the Singapore television industry, her role in Chronicle of Life won her Best Actress and Best Newcomer awards at Singapore’s 1995 Star Awards. In 1996, her role in The Unbroken Cycle won her first regional nomination at the Asian Television Awards. She continued to star in a large array of drama serials, including A Romance in Shanghai (produced in Shanghai), Wild Orchids (filmed in Sydney) and Brave New World (filmed in Amsterdam and Belgium).

In late 1996, Fann released in Singapore her first Mandarin pop album Fanntasy, which contained a duet (theme song of her TV drama ‘Brave New World’) with Taiwanese singer Jeff Chang. The album was retitled I Live Alone and repackaged with two additional songs for the Taiwanese market and won 4 IFPI platinum sales awards in Taiwan, marking the start of Fann’s regional success.

Late 1990s: rise of regional popularity
In 1996, Fann starred in the 40-episode blockbuster drama, Brave New World, alongside her now-husband, Christopher Lee and Hong Kong actor Alex Man. This was the first time ever that Fann would act together with Christopher Lee. Fann also performed the theme song, “Don’t let love become hard for us”, as a duet with Taiwanese singer Jeff Chang.

In 1998, Fann was named the female lead, Xiaolongnü, in TCS remake of the hit wuxia drama The Return of the Condor Heroes where she once again starred alongside Christopher Lee. The release of this drama, along with her second album, Shopping, further increased her exposure in Taiwan and China. When Hong Kong director Derek Yee saw Fann’s “Shopping” music video on Hong Kong’s Channel V, he flew to Singapore to cast her as the lead actress in the Hong Kong art film The Truth About Jane and Sam.

The movie topped the Singapore box office for three weeks and her role as a gritty wild-child won her a Best New Performer nomination at the 19th Hong Kong Film Awards in 2000. In addition, her role as a self-centred stockbroker in Out to Win attracted a million viewers in Singapore during its finale. It was during this period when Fann acquired many of her die-hard fans, led by the Fann-atic Fan Club (FFC).

In 1999, Fann released her third album Missing You, recorded “Private Number” with British boyband 911, and performed Moments of Magic, Singapore’s official millennium song. These musical successes resulted in her being the first Singapore artiste to stage a solo paying concert (“My Story”—Fann Wong in Concert) at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in 2000. That same year, she released her fourth Mandarin album, No Problem.

During the next few years, Fann focused on her acting career. She played a two-timing television reporter in the omnibus Hong Kong film When I Fall in Love… With Both, acted as a lovelorn insurance agent in the Singaporean romantic drama Looking For Stars, as well as played the title character in the Taiwanese period drama Madam White Snake. She also began hosting travelogue shows, including Travel Hunt: Japan and Fann Adventure, which was filmed in South Africa and Malaysia.

2003: Hollywood
In 2002, Fann became the first Singaporean actress to play a major role in a Hollywood production as Chon Lin in Shanghai Knights. When the film was released in early 2003, Stephen Hunter of The Washington Post stated: Fann is an enchanting new film presence. Clearly modelled after Zhang Ziyi of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, she combines a dancer’s grace with a fighter’s speed, and looks great standing still or whirling.

The Hollywood Reporter’s David Hunter noted that Fann was “more than equal to playing the strong woman fighter who’s also pretty darn cute”, while John Keenan of the Omaha World-Herald stated that “Fann’s stunt work is actually more memorable than Jackie Chan’s here”. In Hong Kong, the South China Morning Post stated that she “seems set to displace Lucy Liu as Hollywood’s Asian babe du jour”. She was subsequently nominated under the Best Fight category in MTV Movie Awards 2003, and in 2004, won the Singapore Street Festival’s Best International Artiste Award.

2004–2007
In 2004, Fann continued acting in China period dramas such as Moon Fairy and My Fair Lady. She also starred in a Singapore serial on the SARS epidemic titled Always on My Mind, which won her a Best Actress nomination at the 2004 Star Awards. In mid-2004, Fann was cast in the lead role in the German-Singapore telemovie, House of Harmony. In late 2004, Fann released her first publication, a semi-autobiographical comic book Girl Illustrated. After a musical hiatus of five years, she released her first compilation, In Love With You.

In April 2005, Fann was invited to the Cannes MIPTV Media Market where she promoted House of Harmony and discussed possible collaborations with European industry professionals. She obtained the All-Time Favourite Artiste for obtaining the Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes . House of Harmony has since been telecast in Germany, Austria, France and Belgium to a combined prime-time viewership of over 80 million. That same year, Fann took on a lead role in a Taiwanese art-house romance film, Dragon Eye Congee, which was nominated for five categories at the inaugural Asian Festival of First Films.

In August 2005, she made her voice-over debut in Singapore’s first 3 D animation film, Zodiac, The Race Begins, which was released in early 2006. Furthermore, she also contributed her songs for the soundtracks of the movie. In November 2006, Fann made her first promotional visit to Phnom Penh, Cambodia. She performed at the Tonle Sap Water Festival Mega Concert and visited the Krousar Thmey blind school, where she donated cassette recorders and biscuits.

2007–2012: Focus on China market (under Huayi Brothers)
In early 2007, Fann signed a management contract with China’s Huayi Brothers. Fann also became the first Singaporean artist to release a self-illustrated 3D animation titled Fanntasy World. The release of her Singapore film Just Follow Law, in which she had to play an uncouth and scruffy man in a woman’s body, was a major attraction at the Chinese New Year box office and won her critical acclaim in the Singapore and Malaysian media.

In 2008, she was invited to be a judge at the sixth “spirit of fire” international film festival which was held in Russia. Ah Long Pte Ltd reached No. 1 in both Singapore’s and Malaysia’s box office during the Chinese new year. Later, the film Dance of Dragon that she paired with Korean hunk Jang Hyuk led her to win her first International Best Actress at West Hollywood International Film Festival.

In 2009, Fann starred with then-boyfriend Christopher Lee in The Wedding Game. The movie won the best feature film at the first international comedy film festival held in Thailand. In June, she finished her new Chinese movie In a tangle . In September, she filmed the romantic movie Cornflower Blue, starring with Alex Fong and Chang Chen in Hainan. Both of them were on the screen in late 2010. She filmed another comedy film Happy Go Lucky, which was shown during the Chinese New Year.

In 2010, she slowed down her step and only two dramas were filmed. But she gained her critic praises from many Chinese media for her character “Ren DaiDai” in the drama Jin DaBan De Zuihou Yiye starring with Chinese actress Fan Bingbing. Two more Singaporean dramas followed in 2011.

But 2012 seemed to be a busy year for Fann. At the begin of the year, she played a syren in the series The Legend of Master Ji 3, then she was invited to be a judge for TBS’s fashion competition show Asian Ace. Later she flew to ShanDong and played a spicy wife in the movie Ai Shui Shui together with Jaycee Chan,and also a telemovie Han di hu lue zhu gui based on novel Water Margin. Another movie Runaway Woman was filmed in Xinjiang in May.

She was awarded the “2012 Huading Most Popular Asian Actress Award” in Beijing Olympic Sports Centre on 4 July. Though she didn’t release new album for years, she was still invited to perform at 9th Asia Song Festival which was held in Yeosul, Korea, on 4 August. In October, she flew to Xinjiang again to film the period drama Tun Shu Xi Jiang about revolution occurring in Xinjiang. She worked with Hong Kong actor Bowie Lam (her husband in the drama) and Chinese director Zhang Jizhong.

2013–present: New Beginning (under Catwalk)
2013 became a new beginning for Fann. She has set up her own studio at the end of 2012, and ended her contract with Huayi Brothers, signed a new contract with Taiwan management agency Catwalk. She will focus on drama & movie filming in 2013 and even release a new album almost 13 years since her latest original album “no problem” out in 2000.

In 2014, illustrator Patrick Yee was so inspired after working with Fann on a children’s charity in Thailand that he designed and illustrated a nearly wordless picturebook, published by Epigram Books, about the adventures of a girl with the same name.

Fann Wong Skincare

When she was in her 20s and 30s, local actress Fann Wong used to be more vain. But today, the 46-year-old is no longer worried, as she has realised that beauty encompasses myriad aspects. Fann, who graced the official opening of new beauty gym Bella Marie France last Wednesday as its celebrity ambassador, told The New Paper: “As I grew older, I started to feel that beauty is what you exude from within.

“Outer beauty is still important because of the first impression you give others. But as I matured and got to know myself better, my self-confidence and self-assurance slowly increased as well.” Fann said her definition of beauty has changed, especially after becoming a mum to her son Zed, who is nearly three.

She said: “When you look and feel so sloppy and sweaty after a long day, but your son still looks at you like you are the most beautiful woman on earth, that was when I realised that it was all in the eye of the beholder.” Fann also said her skincare routine underwent a drastic change due to motherhood.

From a 10-step routine, it has been reduced to the basics.

“I used to make do-it-yourself facials and scrubs and put on body slimming cream. But now, I don’t even apply toner,” she said.

“My morning and evening rituals are quite similar. I just cleanse my face, and put on moisturiser and eye cream.” She said she places an emphasis on eye cream because the eyes are the windows to the soul.

“Everyone will look into your eyes when they look at you, and it is even more so for us artists. Whenever we are filming, we express a lot through our eyes. Furthermore, (the area around them) has very thin skin, so we have to take care of it carefully,” she said.

At Bella Marie France – a one-stop unification of expertise from Bella Skin Care and Marie France Bodyline – which Fann frequents “often” for “me time”, her favourite treatments are the 360 Turnaround for a major boost of skin hydration and targeted fat reduction, and the i-Laser Sculpt fat burning treatment for the body.Fann’s husband, local actor Christopher Lee, does not compliment her as much as before,but “he will always complain how come I get to eat so much but yet continue to stay so slim”.

She said with a laugh that he has been saying that every day since she had Zed. Her must-have beauty product is lip gloss, and she makes sure she has a tube in her bag, her car and Lee’s car at all times. Fann will be starring in two projects with Lee – it has been eight years since their last collaboration. The first is Yi Nian, which was shot in Beijing and is scheduled to open at the end of the year, and the second is Channel 8 drama Doppelganger slated for release next year.

Fann Wong Latest News

You won’t believe what Fann Wong’s 3 year old son did to his face!

Updated on; April 25, 2018

Life with a three year old is unpredictable, even if you’re a celebrity mum like Fann Wong. On April 23, she posted a hilarious video on Instagram of her son, Zed, who had coloured his face with markers and was prancing around happily.

In the video, Fann is heard asking Zed: “Are you a commando?” To which he replies: “I’m a bear!”

She asks: “Are you ready for NS?” and he says: “I’m a rabbit!”

Daddy Christopher Lee is heard in the background saying: “Very good, I like it. Papa like it. Continue.”

Fann’s caption for the post read: I’m only away for 10 min…….. @aiainbaby ?洗不掉啦” (Chinese for cannot be washed away).

Helpful fans chimed in with suggestions on how to remove the markers.

She later posted another photo of Zed with this caption in Chinese: “Thanks for everyone’s concern! I no longer look like the Incredible Hulk today. Mummy used toothpaste on me — Nuk child’s toothpaste (This is not an advertisement. I’m just thinking that mummies will want to know the specific brand). Now I’m all cleaned up and can go to school.”

What a cutie Zed is! And we think he may just have inherited his mummy’s artistic talent, too.
