Actress Liu Xuehua has dominated the entertainment industry for decades, with her exquisite “one-second tear” acting deeply impressing audiences. Recently, for her role in the new film Wandering Life, it was rumored that she showed immense dedication by ‘removing all her teeth’, shocking many when the news broke out. In response, the now 65-year-old personally clarified the rumors at a recent event, and smilingly recounted the amusing story of how she landed the part, demonstrating the professionalism and wisdom of a veteran actress.
During a promotional event for the movie Wandering Life, Liu Xuehua addressed the online rumors. She clarified that her teeth were not extracted specifically for the film—“I didn’t pull my teeth just for this movie, otherwise people would think I…” She explained that her teeth were already false teeth and not real ones.
Liu Xuehua revealed that when she first met the director, he casually remarked that she was “a bit too young” and didn’t quite match the image of the elderly lady in the script. Unexpectedly, quick-witted as she is, she promptly took out her false teeth on the spot and purposely made her mouth look more sunken, catching the director completely off guard. He paused for a moment, then laughed and approved her appearance, and she successfully landed the role as a result.
