Taiwanese actress Michelle Chen, who gave birth to her first child, a boy nicknamed “Xiao Xing Xing” in December last year, has regained her pre-pregnancy figure.
The 33-year-old, who was once nicknamed “soup dumpling,” and dubbed “the ugliest Xiao Long Nu” for her round face and stout figure whilst filming the period drama The Romance of the Condor Heroes, stunned netizens when pictures of her latest pictorial was posted online.
The pictorial, which was themed “home-chic” saw Michelle garbed in a simple pair of white shorts and a tank top, lounging about in various places. One of the pictures that gained the most attention from netizens was the one where Michelle showed off her slender legs, with netizens expressing their envy at her slim figure and long legs.
Previously, Michelle herself had posted on her Facebook account that she had covered up her flaws with her clothes, and that the photographer had shot some pictures from a lower angle to give viewers the illusion that she had longer legs.
“[I] should give the photographer an extra chicken drumstick [for his photography skills],” she joked.
Michelle tied the knot with Chinese actor Chen Xiao, after dating for seven months, in July last year, on the actor’s birthday and announced that she was three months pregnant. The pair first met while filming Chinese drama The Romance of the Condor Heroes in 2014.
