Shu Qi says beauty is not her weapon in showbiz

February 14th – Although she is one of the most beautiful Taiwanese actresses, Shu Qi recently said that she does not consider beauty to be a weapon in her profession.

The actress, who recently spoke with ELLE, said it's more important to be yourself than to adhere to beauty standards.

“There are many people in the world who are prettier than you, who know how to take care of themselves and are more disciplined than you. I can just go out and be myself. I don't mind other people's comments not really every time I make an appearance, how can I put it, they don’t exist in the world,” she said.

Shu Qi added that she cares more about what people think of her performance than her appearance.

However, at the same time, the actress admitted that she never lets herself gain more than 5 kg despite her love for food.

In the same interview, Shu spoke about his allergy problem and how it caused him skin problems and other symptoms, prompting him to cut back on his work in recent years.

“I can handle physical pain, but the swollen face and flare-ups caused by these allergies would affect my performance on camera, which is not in keeping with the role itself. It made me angry with myself,” she said.
