Tran Ngoc Thu Trang - the actress who is currently considered 'Tran Thanh's rival' has an extremely powerful family background. Although she is now famous in the profession, Thu Trang was once teased because of her somewhat unattractive appearance.

Thu Trang (real name is Tran Ngoc Thu Trang, born September 23, 1984 in Ho Chi Minh City), she is a famous actress and comedian in the Vietnamese entertainment industry. Currently, she participates in many entertainment programs, movies, web dramas,.... Thu Trang is affectionately nicknamed 'Miss Vietnamese Comedy' by the audience.

Thu Trang graduated from the Ho Chi Minh City College of Theater and Cinema (now the Ho Chi Minh City University of Theater and Cinema) in 2002, and started acting as an assistant for her seniors. With a skinny, dark figure, Thu Trang said that she was once criticized by the audience for being "like a salted fish". Once, when she stepped onto the stage from backstage, she heard many people shouting: "This girl is so ugly, come on". "Many times, I felt so sorry for myself that I wanted to quit my job", the actress said. After not being successful in the film industry, Thu Trang switched to comedy and became viral with her eye-catching appearance and "strangely ugly" features.

The actress's unique appearance is her attraction in comedy skits. Thu Trang gradually became popular on stage, making her mark with a variety of roles, from a middle-aged woman who is single to a tycoon who loves young men. In 2005, Thu Trang's name was noticed when she participated in 'Gala Laughter' - a competition program between comedy groups from the North and the South. In the play Super Marketing, she played the role of a talkative advertising employee, causing laughter with her dialogue and wordplay with her senior, Tiet Cuong.

Thu Trang's name became more popular when she appeared in a series of theatrical projects. In 2015, she participated in a movie directed by Dustin Nguyen, playing with him a poor couple who worked as a scrap dealer. Although she only played a supporting role, Thu Trang's simple, down-to-earth acting won the audience's sympathy, especially in the scene where the two characters were affectionate on a tricycle. The movie was among the top box office hits of the year, winning the Golden Kite Award in the cinema category. Or in Em la ba noi cua anh (2015) - which set a record for Vietnamese film revenue, the actress left a strong impression through the role of Duyen - a girl who was too young and unattractive.

In recent years, Thu Trang has attracted attention as a producer. With 'Chi Muoi Ba: Ba Ngay Sinh Tu' - the theatrical film she invested in and starred in, Thu Trang and her crew continued to make a splash. Released in late 2020 - when audiences gradually regained their movie-watching habits after the social distancing period, the film surpassed the 100 billion VND mark. Super Easy Career - released in 2022 - also became the third highest-grossing Vietnamese film of the year, with over 68 billion VND.

Many of Thu Trang's productions have been met with controversy over quality. When Chi Muoi Ba part 2 was released, despite high revenue, the film received criticism for its thin script, mainly focusing on comedy, and lackluster action. With Nghiep Sieu De, in her role as producer, Thu Trang raised questions when she took the Korean script - Extreme Job to remake (remake) as a safe choice, lacking creativity.

Learning from her previous films, Thu Trang returns with Con Nhót nhớt chồng - a work set in a poor neighborhood in Saigon. The script was written by Thu Trang's team, revolving around Xin - a man who loves alcohol, living with his unmarried daughter. Continuing to act with Thai Hoa after Blood Moon Party, the actress convinced the audience thanks to her natural acting. Thu Trang's expression evokes sadness in the scene where Nhót realizes that she has a disease that makes it difficult to have children, she asks for help from an acquaintance. In addition to presenting the award to Thu Trang, the film received the Silver Kite Award, along with the title of Best Film Actor for Thai Hoa. "Looking back on the past 20 years, although it was difficult, I cherish those experiences, considering them as motivation to train myself to be who I am today," Thu Trang said.

Recently, when caught up in a controversy over 'competing' with Tran Thanh, actress Thu Trang said she was not afraid to have a movie released during Tet holiday with Tran Thanh's work, because she was confident in the different colors. Thu Trang once received a question about the Tet At Ty movie race at the premiere of Nu hon bac billion, on December 10 in Ho Chi Minh City. Under the pressure of competing with The Four Guardians - a film produced by Tran Thanh, she said she carefully studied the style and genre of each project.

According to her, although many producers chose the same release time, each film has its own unique features. The trailer for The Four Guardians leans toward comedy, while her film is purely romantic and emotional. "I think the film market is vast, the more dishes there are, the easier it is for audiences to choose. Tran Thanh is a skilled filmmaker, I also learned a lot from him," she said.

In addition to her somewhat difficult career, Thu Trang is also known to come from a wealthy family in Saigon. Her father owns a brass trading company and the house always has two or three maids. While her peers ride bicycles to school, Thu Trang's parents have spoiled her with a scooter. Therefore, her ideal man must be a prince charming, a handsome guy like a Korean man, romantic, polite, and rich.

She married comedian Tien Luat. Thu Trang once revealed that Tien Luat had absolutely nothing to do with the man of her dreams. He came from a poor working-class family, looked skinny, dressed sloppily like a street person, had no money, no career, and worked as a logistics assistant in the troupe every day, secretly admiring the charming young actress who acted gracefully. Their love story went through 2 stormy years before they got married. Up to now, both are happy and support each other in their careers, and have a well-behaved son together.
