Not from a acting training school, Cu Thi Tra admits that she came to acting because of passion. However, in the early stages of her career, she felt so much pressure that she burst into tears.
In the past, when I first started making films at VFC, my acting ability only stopped at the instinct level, and my skills were a complete zero. Moreover, I met seniors whose films I had watched from elementary school and middle school, I was under terrible pressure. Once, I was also scolded by the director for not being able to do it, which took a lot of the crew's time.
At that time, on set, I didn't cry and still tried my best," the actress recalled.
The beauty of "That Summer" also revealed that because of too much pressure, she once thought she was not destined to pursue the profession. However, with the encouragement of her family and colleagues, she continued to pursue her passion.

Cu Thi Tra also said that in recent years, she has always tried to transform into many types of roles. There are roles that she feels she does well, and there are roles that have not met expectations, but each character brings experiences on her career journey.
What I want most is for the audience to remember me, remember a Cu Thi Tra who is striving, trying and always reinventing herself in the eyes of the audience. Just the fact that my name is remembered by the audience is also a precious recognition," she shared.
