Timeline
Christy Chung (born 19 September 1970) is a Canadian actress and restaurateur.
She is best known for starring in films Mermaid Got Married, The Bodyguard from Beijing, Love on Delivery and Jan Dara.
Chung was born in Montreal, Quebec, to a Chinese-Vietnamese father and a native Vietnamese mother.
She grew up in Brossard, Quebec, a suburb of Montreal, with French and Vietnamese as mother-tongues.
She later learned English, Mandarin and Cantonese.
While studying for a career in the tourism industry at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM), she entered and won the Miss Chinese Montreal contest in 1992.
She then went to Hong Kong, in her first trip away from home, to participate in the Miss Chinese International Pageant 1993, in which she won despite not knowing a single Chinese word.
This opened doors for her to launch her acting career there, despite not speaking a word of Cantonese at the time, and despite her extremely limited acting experience (an uncredited ten-second non-speaking role as a gum-chewing prostitute in Denys Arcand's Love and Human Remains).
She had to choose between acting in Hong Kong and becoming the weather-forecast presenter at Société Radio-Canada, the French-language government television network in Canada.
A role in The Bride with White Hair 2 brought her instant recognition, and she became a well-known star in Chinese-language popular culture, acting in a large number of films including some films starring Stephen Chow, as well as The Bodyguard from Beijing starring Jet Li.
Giving birth to her daughter in 1998 temporarily had a negative effect on her career because of a stereotypical impression that a mother could not function as a sex symbol, but her career recovered in 2000.
More recently, she had roles in Samsara and Jackie Chan's movie The Medallion.
Chung married Glen Ross in 1998, and gave birth to their daughter Yasmine in Montreal in the middle of the 1998 Ice Storm.
Singapore FHM magazine voted her the "Sexiest Woman in Asia" in 2000.
She recently starred in Bruce Lee, My Brother playing the role of Bruce Lee's mother and Aarif Lee portrayed Lee.
She is a brand ambassador and spokeswoman to slimming service Marie France Bodyline, prominently appearing on billboards and print ads.
Despite her success, she remains mostly unknown in Quebec, where she was born and grew up, because she has done most of her film work in Cantonese.
She added Thai to her language repertoire when she starred in Nonzee Nimibutr's 2001 film Jan Dara.
Chung and Ross divorced in 2002, and Chung has sole custody of Yasmine.
In 2003, Chung married music producer Jon Yen.
They have two daughters, Jaden Chloe, born in August 2008, and Cayla Janie, born in February 2010.
Chung and Yen divorced in 2011.
In November 2016, Chung married Chinese actor Shawn Zhang Lunshuo, also known as Golden Zhang who is 12 years her junior.
Chung currently resides in Beijing.
She is currently a restaurant owner.
