One of the people who influenced artist Ngoc Lan's career was her mother. Although her parents are no longer around, she still tries to preserve a scarf that is a souvenir, which has been around for 45 years.
"That was the towel my mother bought to wear to cut and then wear. People say I look a lot like my mother. My mother passed away when I was 17 years old. Because my mother passed away suddenly, there are many regrets, the female artist shared.
Ngoc Lan said she lost her father when she was young, and her mother was by her side, encouraging her on her journey to adulthood. Therefore, when she passed away, the actors of the movie "Flip Side 7" could not help but feel disappointed and regretful. "My mother's scarf is also her outfit for performing when I played the role of a old lady. In my time, many families did not let their children pursue art. My mother did not ban me, even said that if I tried to finish grade 12, she would let me go to the II Stage Arts School. For me to pursue my current job, the biggest motivation is my mother, the 7X actress confided.
Currently, Ngoc Lan's joy is being by her side and accompanying her daughter. She revealed that the child gave her an expensive lipstick gift on her birthday 5 years ago. Referring to her children, the 55-year-old female artist shared: "I just have a baby girl. I am always there to encourage, share, and even be a support. Many times I feel so sad that I choose to go home and tell my child, cry in front of him and be comforted and shared by him. I am lucky to have such a child.
To have that bond, Ngoc Lan said she has been friends with her child since he was little. However, the female artist is only from the perspective of encouragement and giving opinions, not forcing her child to act according to her wishes. "My child is now 19 years old, starting to have his own world, rarely sharing important things with his mother. If I can't bear to worry about something that is so frustrating that I can't bear it, I'll tell him, but he's also the one who solves it," she shared.
In the profession, Ngoc Lan finds herself a demanding person, ready to scold her juniors. However, she affirmed that it came from her desire to see younger actors mature in their art. The star of the movie mua sus ngan, confided: "I screamed to you in the past, you hated me at that time. But they respect me very much when they meet me again. For example, if 10 friends leave, now 8 friends love me, and the other 2 friends can probably quit their jobs. That's fine, as long as you understand it."
Ngoc Lan said that since pursuing the profession until now, she has not been jealous or jealous of anyone. Because the female artist believes that each actress has her own advantage. "Like now, I go out on the street, even though I wear a mask, when I speak, people immediately recognize Ngoc Lan. I told young people that each of them has their own way of acting, that is the way to make a film, a play. If everyone wants to play the main role now, then who will play the supporting role in that play", Ngoc Lan stated her opinion.
