Charmaine - Le Tu: Love enemies in the movie, good sisters in real life

Charmaine Charmaine and Le Tu are both the most popular actresses of TVB. The two actresses were once entangled in rumors of disliking each other, and were often put on the scale to compare, from looks to acting skills.

On screen, they are rivals, but in real life, they have always kept their pure and sincere friendship for the past 20 years, despite each other's different lives.

Have a similar family situation

Charmaine and Le Tu were both born into families that were the cradle of cinema. Le Tu's grandfather is Le Dan Vy - who is known as "the father of Hong Kong cinema"; Grandma is a movie star Lam So So. The life of the Le family experienced an event when her grandparents died one by one, the family's economy was in trouble, causing her father to take the children to live in a slum. Le Tu once recalled the past of poverty: his father had meningitis, had a hearing impairment, could not work, his mother was a truck driver, and the family's economic situation was precarious. The room is 20m2 wide, with rats running everywhere, no toilet... are images that haunt her until adulthood.

When she was a teenager, Le Tu dropped out of school and started taking acting classes. She became famous quickly, famous for a series of works of People in the Gypsy, The Story of Joy in the House 97...

In 2001, TVB produced Ỷ Thien Do Long Ky, intending to assign Le Tu to play Chu Chi Nhuoc and Charmaine to play Trieu Man. But Ngo Khai Hoa - who played Truong Vo Ky at that time - had the opposite suggestion. He thinks that Charmaine, who has just entered the profession, is still chubby and innocent, suitable for the shape of Chu Chi Nhuoc, while Le Tu's "pure and pure ice" look suits the role of Trieu Man. After that, both girls were successful with the role. Le Tu acted so well that the audience called her "the girl Trieu Man most like Trieu Man", when fully portraying the image of a girl who dares to love dare to hate in the work.
