Vietnamese beauty queens act in movies: Little praise, much controversy

Recently, many famous beauty queens of Vietnamese showbiz have changed direction by entering the film industry, but not everyone has been successful.

Appearance and popularity are advantages that make many beauties catch the eye of directors and film producers. This helps the beauty queens receive opportunities to appear on screen.

In the past few years, many beauty queens have participated in film projects, but not everyone has made a mark when trying their hand at the 7th art.

Miss Thuy Tien received positive feedback

Before the coronation Miss Grand International 2021 , Thuy Tien used to study acting and cherished her passion for cinema. The beauty born in 1998 used to take acting classes from People's Artist Le Khanh.

After a period of honing her acting skills, the beauty queen had her first role in the movie Linh Mieu: Quy nhap trang , co-starring with artists Hong Dao, Thien An, Samuel An... In the movie, the beauty born in 1998 plays the role of a resigned servant but is the key character that creates the tragedy of the movie.

Thuy Tien received positive feedback in her first film.

Although this is her first time in the film industry, Thuy Tien received many positive responses about her acting.

Besides some criticisms about the stiff dialogue, the beauty is considered to have made a breakthrough in expressing emotions in the climax scenes of the film. The beauty queen is also not afraid of wearing ugly makeup to act in the horror scenes in the film. Artist Hong Dao commented that Thuy Tien plays the role well and has a lot of potential for cinema.

Talking about her first role, Thuy Tien was humble and did not dare to expect the audience to praise her acting, just being evaluated seriously for her acting career was enough to make her happy.

In the coming time, Thuy Tien will spend time practicing and learning the necessary skills for movies. She is not in a hurry to accept movies, afraid that the audience will get bored and overwhelmed because she appears too much.

Miss Tieu Vy is expected after the first failure

Started working in cinema in 2022 with his first role in a movie Jackpot Island: Mother and Child, Miss Tieu Vy has received mixed opinions about her acting ability. The beauty born in 2000 has a sharp face that attracts viewers, but her acting skills are still immature and she has not been able to portray the depth of her character.

In early 2024, the beauty from Quang Nam participated in the film project Tomorrow by Tran Thanh. Although she only played a small scene at the end of the film, Tieu Vy still impressed with her natural and approachable acting.

Miss Doan Thien An's passionate scene was cut

Doan Thien An entered the film industry through the movie Prince of Bac Lieu with the role of Bay Loan - a famous cai luong artist of the six provinces of the South. For her first time acting in a film, Thien An received many mixed opinions. Some viewers thought that her role was quite bland, lacking climax, so it did not leave an impression in the film.

However, the reason why Thien An's role is less attractive is because many of her scenes were cut. According to the director's explanation, because he wanted to prioritize the main storyline of Cong Tu Bac Lieu, which is the journey to find recognition of his position with his family, the emotional scenes were cut.

Thien An had many emotional scenes cut from her first film.

As for Miss Thien An, she felt somewhat sad and disappointed because this was one of the most passionate scenes of the character Bay Loan. However, Thien An also understood director Ly Minh Thang because the quality of the film brought to the audience was still the most important thing.

After an unimpressive first project, Miss Thien An continued to take on the female lead role of Billionaire Kiss - Tet movie project 2025.

The beauty queen admitted that she felt a lot of pressure when becoming the female lead of the Tet film project. Miss Grand Vietnam 2022 has spent time researching and honing her acting skills over the past time.

However, as soon as the trailer was released, the beauty queen still received a lot of skepticism from the audience. Besides expectations, some comments said that Thien An was not suitable for the role and her expressions were unnatural.

Miss Luong Thuy Linh's acting is bland.

In 2023, she expanded her career to the film industry with her first role in the movie Possession.

In the film, the beauty queen almost "sheds" her gentle, elegant image to transform into a girl with a confident and powerful appearance.

Luong Thuy Linh's movie was criticized as bland.

According to Luong Thuy Linh, this character has a personality that is completely opposite to her simple and approachable personality in real life. In her first time acting in a movie, the talented beauty queen did not hesitate to try her hand at difficult roles that require acting skills.

However, despite her efforts, Luong Thuy Linh's role was still considered unnatural. The scenes with the beauty queen were considered quite redundant in the overall film.

Despite having a strong cast (Miu Le, Phuong Anh Dao...), this film had to quickly leave theaters after a few weeks of release. The film also caused controversy because of its absurd script and many errors.

Miss H'Hen Nie's acting is stiff, her dialogue is like reading.

As one of the most beloved beauty queens, H'Hen Nie also tried her hand at acting. The film that the beauty debuted in was called 578: Madman's Bullet in 2022.

In the film, H'Hen Nie plays Bao Vy - who always silently stands by the male lead. She has a strong personality, is good at martial arts, and knows how to drive containers and large-displacement motorbikes. The beauty queen has extremely eye-catching fighting scenes. To transform into the character, she participated in a training course for several months with a Korean martial arts expert, causing her body to suffer many injuries.

Despite trying very hard, H'Hen Nie's acting was still criticized.

However, Miss H'Hen Nie's role was only praised for the fighting scenes. As for her acting, she was criticized for her "stiff" acting, her dialogue was like reading, and her lack of emotion. It can be said that H'Hen Nie's role as Bao Vy was quite bland. The beauty queen's film was suddenly withdrawn from all domestic theaters after 2 weeks of release due to lack of audience.

After the first failure with movies, even though 2 years have passed, there is still no sign of H'Hen Nie trying her hand at acting.
