Actress Tran Hoang Anh Phuong - the beautiful youngest daughter of People's Artist Tran Nhuong, officially joined the beauty pageant at the online contest Miss Universe Vietnam - Miss Cosmo Vietnam 2025.

Not only holding the title of Miss TikTok 2022, Miss Lovely Face Miss Vietnam Global Tourism 2021, Anh Phuong is also the valedictorian of the Department of Stage Art Design, Hanoi University of Theatre and Cinema and was the runner-up of Born to be a Pair 2022. With a height of 1m68, a slim body and a delicate face, Anh Phuong participated in many web dramas, appearing in several MVs such as K-ICM's Drunk Painting. She took the stage name Jenna Anh Phuong, and released her own MV called "Ai tuong tu ve ai" in June 2021, a product she participated in composing and producing.

Not only that, few people know that she also has a great education with a good graduation certificate, top student in both entrance and exit, and won a scholarship for 4 consecutive years at the University of Theater and Cinema, majoring in Fine Arts Design.

With a talent for drawing since childhood, Jenna Anh Phuong dreamed of becoming a painter, but later she turned to acting. Sharing in an interview, she said: "Talent is just talent, but my passion is to pursue artistic activities in the direction of acting, singing,...".

From her dream of becoming a painter, the fact that her "daughter" switched to following in her footsteps in her career shocked People's Artist Tran Nhuong. Gradually, over time, Jenna Anh Phuong received support from her father and family as she constantly tried to prove herself.

In addition, the beauty also tried her hand at Miss Vietnam Global Tourism 2021 and became one of the hottest contestants of the contest. Although she did not win the highest position, she entered the Top 10 finalists, winning 4 consecutive awards including Top 4 Talented Beauty, Top 5 Sports Beauty and the title of Beauty with a Lovely Face, Most Favorite Beauty on Tik Tok. That is a worthy achievement for Jenna Anh Phuong's training and efforts throughout the "race".

At the program "5-star hotel", People's Artist Tran Nhuong's daughter gave her father and brother some emotional words. She said: "Many people say that I am relying on my father, thanks to him I am like this and that. I feel quite sad but also take that as motivation to try harder to improve myself, contribute and develop more. I want the audience to know the name Anh Phuong more, instead of calling me the daughter of People's Artist Tran Nhuong. But I am always proud to have a father who is a People's Artist. My father is wonderful and great in my heart".

In addition, she also feels very worried because she cannot be by her father's side when he is sick. "Currently, my father is alone in Hanoi. That is what makes me worry and think a lot. If my father gets sick or something happens, I will not be by his side to take care of him," the daughter of People's Artist Tran Nhuong shared.

In response to her confessions on the show, People's Artist Tran Nhuong also revealed that since childhood, Anh Phuong had suffered many disadvantages because her parents had broken up. People's Artist Tran Nhuong confided: "I have more affection for Anh Phuong, because her older siblings still have their parents to take care of them, but I don't have that. Anh Phuong was only 2 years old, and her mother and I broke up, so Anh Phuong did not have a complete family life. I thank the show for letting me see my daughter's feelings."

When asked about the convenience of being the daughter of People's Artist Tran Nhuong when entering the profession, Anh Phuong confided: "I don't find it easy at all. That is the most difficult thing that I want to remove because I am trying very hard, starting from the smallest things, not asking for help from my father, struggling to find solutions with friends who are in the same situation as me. As for the title, I feel tired and want to escape that shadow. At the same time, I know I have to try harder. Coming to Ho Chi Minh City to start the art quite late and having to deal with 2 years of the pandemic, I feel like I missed out on many things."

Speaking more about his father, Anh Phuong confided: "When I was young, my father was the head of the CAND art troupe, so I often went to watch uncles and aunts perform plays. I watched and learned how to act from there. After that, my father and Mr. Trong took me to perform in commercials or the show Meet at the Weekend... Many people around me also commented on me: "This little girl knows how to act!". But it was my father who wanted me to stop acting and focus on studying. I also listened to him."

Regarding the reason for moving to Nam Tien, the daughter of People's Artist Tran Nhuong shared: "During my high school years, my outstanding talent was drawing, so I took the exam to major in Fine Arts Design at the University of Theater and Cinema. But after 4 years of studying, I found that I could not sit still to draw, I wanted to be free to do what I liked. I used to work as a streamer for a while because I simply thought that this job would make me rich quickly because I received a lot of "donations". However, my house is in Hoan Kiem, and my company is in Ha Dong, every day I have to sit in front of the screen from morning to late at night.

I found it dangerous to drive home alone at 1am with my daughter. My parents didn’t like the job either, so I quit. After that, I planned to apply for a flight attendant job, but I couldn’t do it. After a while, I asked my parents to let me go to Ho Chi Minh City to live on my own. At first, my mother strongly objected because she was worried about her daughter, but my father agreed, even taking me to the South to see houses. But my father was a person who easily changed his mind; about a week later, he told me to move to Hanoi.

Anh Phuong's brother, director Binh Trong, shared: "I have my own film studio so I create conditions for my sister. I pay other actors 1 salary, but Anh Phuong will pay 2. But Anh Phuong wants to be independent, afraid that if he works with me, people will say he is dependent, so he absolutely does not do it." Regarding the sibling relationship, both director Binh Trong and Anh Phuong respect each other. Both only give advice or talk to each other when they need help.

Entering the journey to conquer the Miss Cosmo Vietnam crown, the actress shared her desire to inspire young people to be confident, love themselves and constantly improve themselves. "Despite my gentle appearance, I am a strong warrior. I believe that everyone can become the best version of themselves," Anh Phuong affirmed.

Coming to the Miss Universe Vietnam - Miss Cosmo Vietnam 2025 contest, where Anh Phuong not only shines with her beauty but also affirms her bravery, intelligence and kind heart. Anh Phuong shared: "I want to inspire all the young people out there - to become a girl who knows how to take care of herself both inside and out, has knowledge, compassion, gentleness with the world and herself, but also has the inner strength to overcome all storms."
