hot grannies

It seems like Linda Chung and Bernice Liu are having more and more things in common every day. Let's name everything that they share in common...

Both are from Canada and attended the same university (UBC)

Both hold Miss Vancouver and Miss Chinese International titles

Both had weak Cantonese at the start of their career, but worked hard to improve

Both bravely went to Hong Kong to pursue their dreams

Both are Virtues of Harmony beauties, gracing the screen & winning audience's hearts

Both have paired with Frankie Lam & Steven Ma (in Virtues & off)

Both have seldom been paired with younger actors (aka their ages)

Both are advertisement and function queens, catching the eyes of many sponsors

Both are beautiful & talented

Now, if those points weren't enough, they now share another thing. Bernice and Linda are both transforming into old ladies for their upcoming series. Yup, they're bidding farewell to their youth and beauty for the sake of successfully acting out their challenging new roles.

Transforming into a "hot granny"

Legend of the Demigods is a mythical series about gods and demons. Naturally, there will be magic, spells, and things of that nature. Linda's character turns into a 70-year-old woman because of an evil spell. It takes at least two hours to complete Linda's "hot granny" look with a whole bunch of glue and make-up added to her face. Even her palms were done to complete the look!

Bernice's new series The Slicing of the Demon is a costume drama that has a lot of fantasy in it. The series deals with curses, spells, murders, and executioners. Everyone in the series has a "unique" look, so leading lady Bernice cannot escape the fate either. For an unknown reason, Bernice's character has a "hot granny" look that also takes quite a long time to complete!

More information about Linda's role

In Legend of the Demigods, Linda's role is very difficult. She has to act out many different ages (20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, and 70's!) in addition to multiple personalities as well. In her "hot granny" episodes, Linda will turn from a young and bright girl into a frail and weak old lady. Aside from having the "look" set, Linda has to hunch her back when she walks and stands as well as transform her voice to make the performance more realistic!

Presenting the "hot grannies"

The future look for a princess & an office lady in their elder years?

Bernice joked that her "hot granny" look helps her to flirt because before, the male actors would ignore her in the make-up room. However, after she became a "hot granny," people such as Ron Ng and Sammul Chan stare at her and compliment her looks! Thus, Bernice calls her "hot granny" look her "flirting look."

Linda was astonished by how convincing her "hot granny" look was. However, she thinks that she looks quite scary and that her skin tone is too gray. She hopes that she won't really look like this when she does age in the future. Nevertheless, she doesn't mind sacrificing her beauty for the role. For the sake of acting, she will do all that she can to give a convincing performance.

How accurate are the "hot granny" looks that TVB has created for Bernice and Linda? Will these beauties truly age the way TVB's make-up artists have transformed them? Hopefully not because their "hot granny" looks are not so hot (and frankly, a bit scary)! Still, it's quite interesting and amusing to see these "hot grannies." However, who can believe that fate will have these beauties age the way TVB has designed?
