Gillian Chung on Choosing to Love Herself

Gillian Chung (鍾欣潼), 44, remains one of showbiz’s most talked-about beauties. Her weight has fluctuated over the years, but her flawless features have never failed her. Crowned a “ageless goddess from all angles,” Gillian was noted for her fluctuating weight. Netizens remarked that “She has been bigger; she’s been slimmer, but she’s never been ugly.”

Recently returning to Hong Kong for a fan meeting, Gillian stunned attendees with what many called her “peak condition” physique, radiating youthful vibes. Naturally, curiosity exploded on how she effectively slimmed down.

Dressed in a pink knit top and light blue jeans, looking visibly leaner with long black hair framing her sharp features, Gillian decided early last year to properly love herself. Over the year, she completed 105 wellness sessions and achieved nearly a 90 percent success rate in quitting alcohol. Gillian also revealed she experimented with several diet trends in 2025. “I tried the 16:8 fasting method for seven days, a sugar-free plan for three days, and an early-to-bed challenge for two days,” she shared. As for beauty maintenance, she confessed that in March last year she told herself in the mirror, “I need to diligently apply face masks. My skin condition now feels stable. It’s all thanks to taking good care of myself.”

Looking ahead, the actress reflected, “The 40-plus Gillian Chung is calm and unhurried. I’ll continue moving forward with passion.”
