Sun Li and her surprising personality

DƯƠNG HƯƠNG |

In contrast to her calm and elegant appearance, Ton Le's true personality is confirmed by many to be different.

In the impression of many viewers, Ton Le is a dignified, calm person, specializing in playing female leads with elegant and refined demeanor.

Ton Le's somewhat serious appearance also makes the audience think that in married life, Deng Chao is a person who often does "crazy" things, while Ton Le calmly solves everything.

But in fact, anyone who has ever interacted with Ton Le in real life says that when she started acting, she was even more "crazy" than her husband Deng Chao.

This was confirmed by director Dinh Hac, and Ton Le, after hearing it, could only smile.

According to director Dinh Hac, during the time of filming "Ngoc Quan Am", each of her crying scenes had to be prepared for 3-4 hours, and the entire film crew had to wait. Even a patient person like Dinh Hac once "gave up" before her obsession with her health and healthy lifestyle.

Sun Li is not the type of person who silently takes care of her health, but goes everywhere to "propagate" this lifestyle. Actors who have collaborated with her are all "shocked".

When filming "An Gia" in 2019, she took out a flour roll, La Tan thought she intended to roll the flour right at the studio. Unexpectedly, it was a massage tool, causing La Tan to freeze.

Dong Dai Vy once recounted that Ton Le's schedule is so disciplined that it is not like people in showbiz. She wakes up at more than 5 am, and goes to bed at more than 9 pm.

Many people think Ton Le is a type of "born to be an actress", the awards are hand-holding, her career and family are perfect. But for herself, acting is just a skill to earn a living.

After getting married and becoming famous, she gradually found her true self. Taking care of her health, practicing yoga, painting, calligraphy, publishing books and playing music - those are the things that truly shaped her.

From a young age, Ton Le was not someone who followed a predetermined path. She started learning to dance at the age of 5 and performed abroad with an art troupe at the age of 11.

At that time, she spent all her free time after school in the gym. Her academic results were average, and she failed the entrance exam to the dance academy twice after graduating from junior high school.

Her mother sent her to the art troupe of the Shanghai Army Corps, where she won third and second prizes for her diligence and talent.

After leaving the troupe, she was assigned to work as a restaurant waitress - a stable job that many people would accept. But Ton Le did not choose that path, she went to Singapore to participate in a talent contest, with a judge named Liu Dehua.

Thanks to her appearance, singing ability, dancing, speaking and acting are all good, she easily won the runner-up, even Andy Lau wanted to invite her to act in movies.

Normally, she could sign a contract and debut in Singapore, but Ton Le returned to Shanghai (China), signing with a newly established Hai Nhuan company.

The company let her meet screenwriter Hai Nham and director Dinh Hac, arranged to study acting, dialogue, physique, and even spent money for her to learn taekwondo and take the driving test. In the end, she was chosen to play the female lead An Tam in "Ngoc Quan Am", officially stepping into the field of acting.

The movie aired and caused an explosion, Ton Le, who was only 21 years old, won many awards. After that, she continuously acted in movies, worked non-stop, and gradually her health encountered problems: colds, fever, diarrhea, acne... affecting her work. From then on, she began to pay attention to taking care of herself.

According to records, since 2006, Ton Le has started learning about how to maintain her health. In 2016, she maintained vegetarianism on the 1st and 15th of the lunar month for 10 years.
