Recently, many behind-the-scenes photos of actress Tong To Nhi during the filming of the new movie "Tu Cung Len" in Hengdian (China) have spread on social networks, making her excessively thin body a widespread topic of discussion.
Chinese media described that Tong To Nhi has a height of 1m65 but has an extremely slender figure, thin limbs like sticks, knee and ribs clearly visible. When walking, she is even a bit faltering.
The actress's current weight is estimated to be less than 40kg, her BMI is only about 14.7 - much lower than her normal healthy level from 18.5 to 23.9.
Immediately, the keyword "Tong To Nhi is skinny to the point of skin and bones" dominated the top trending topic on Weibo on May 26.
In fact, controversy about Tong To Nhi's figure did not appear for the first time. In 2025, to film the historical drama "Khom lung", she lost 10kg in just 3 months.
In January this year, when attending the red carpet event, she continued to be commented on as "thin to the point of facial deformity", and at that time there were many concerns about her health.
At that time, in front of the camera, Tong To Nhi once said that she always lost weight and said: "Losing weight is my lifelong career", but did not disclose her specific weight.
In March, there was news that Tong To Nhi fainted twice due to hypoglycemia on the set of "Tư cung lệnh" due to excessive dieting.
Staff at the scene revealed that she was once completely pale, causing the film crew to temporarily stop filming, and the director also had to urgently cut production progress.
Nutrition experts point out that long-term carbohydrate reduction and irregular eating can lead to endocrine disorders, thyroid abnormalities, amenorrhea, and even cardiovascular effects.
Women with too low weight will lose bone density three times faster than normal people, and in the long term, it is very easy to cause osteoporosis and irreversible injuries.
Tong To Nhi's office has not yet publicly responded to the controversy about excessive weight loss this time.
What is even more worrying is that weight loss has caused the beauty born in 1998's complexion to decline significantly. Netizens noticed that Tong To Nhi's expressions are often quite tired, her eyes are lifeless, and she is commented on as "no longer having light in her eyes".
This situation creates a large contrast with her previous clever image when playing Na Tra in "Bao Lien Dang Tien Truyen", or the role of Kieu Tu My in "Kieu Family Children".
A viewer commented frankly: "Being so thin is really no longer beautiful, health is a hundred times more important than being on screen".
According to QQ, Tong To Nhi's excessive weight loss also raises concerns that this distorted aesthetic standard is spreading from the entertainment industry to everyday life.
On social networks, trends such as "A4 waist", "comic legs", "BM style" (super slim body) are rampant, many girls pursue weight levels that BMI itself has been unhealthy. A type of aesthetics that considers being thin as the only standard is binding more and more people.
