She'll STRIP for the right SCRIPT
Fann Wong says she is ready to go to bare-all extremes, especially if noted Taiwanese director Lee Ang wants it
By Wendy Teo, 11 September 2007
LOCAL actress Fann Wong said she has no problems taking her clothes off in front of camera.
The 36-year-old told Shin Min Daily News in an interview on Saturday: 'What's the big deal about being naked? The human body was nude to begin with.'
She had been chatting about acclaimed Taiwanese director Lee Ang's movie Lust, Caution, which won Best Picture at last week's Venice Film festival.
The movie has been making headlines even before its release, for its steamy love scenes with full nudity by stars Tony Leung, 45, and Tang Wei, 28.
When asked if she was willing to do something similar, Fann said: 'Reveal all? If it's Lee Ang, and the script is challenging, I would consider.'
She won't be the first S'porean actress to reveal all for the camera.
In 2001, former Miss Singapore Paulyn Sun bared all for the film Ichi the Killer.
But Fann has received script offers which require nudity.
Her manager told The New Paper yesterday that the offers were both 'local and international', even though they are 'quite rare'.
She added that both MediaCorp and Fann came quite close to accepting such a role in an international film, but had to reject it due to a conflict in schedules.
So, will Fann ask boyfriend Christopher Lee for his permission before going nude?
'No need to ask him,' said Fann with a laugh.
She added that she's more worried about her management's reaction.
She said: 'The first person to ask would be my manager. Because if I did something like that, my manager would be the first person to jump.'
But Fann's manager told The New Paper that it 'really depends on the movie, the script, and the level of comfort for the artiste'.
She added that if Fann is willing, then 'we will talk and discuss further', adding that it won't be a one-sided decision.
Referring to Jack Neo's movie Just Follow Law - in which Fann got rave reviews for her portrayal of an uptight yuppie who switched bodies with an uncouth blue-collar worker - the manager said that they had allowed the bathroom scene where Fann's co-star Gurmit Singh is seen helping her to shower, because they 'had trust in the director'.
The manager said: 'There must be understanding of what the director is going to do, and how he is going to do it.
'With Jack, he was very understanding, and worked within what was comfortable with us.'
And that is probably why Jack received the go-ahead too, for casting Fann as a tattooed gangster in his yet-to-be-released movie tentatively titled Long De Chuan Ren (loosely translated as Heir To Loanshark).
Fann will reportedly show off her bare back in it. But going nude is, of course, taking things to a totally different level.
Fann admitted that she will also be worried about how local viewers would react if she does decide to take it all off.
After all, it is only this year that Fann began to shed her clean-scrubbed virginal image she developed in her 13-year acting career.
In a previous interview, she insisted to The New Paper that she does have a daring side to her.
She said then: 'I may look dainty on the outside, but actually on the inside, I have strange blood coursing through my veins.
'I can go to extremes when it comes to acting and I want to see myself go to that kind of extremes.'
Fann was not available for further comment as she was busy filming Dance Of The Dragon. In this movie, which co-stars Korean actor Jang Hyuk and Jason Scott Lee, she plays a former ballroom dancing champion who gets caught between the two leading men. -
