KUALA LUMPUR (Politics Now!) - His Majesty Tuanku Sultan Johor received an extraordinary visitor today (6th Dec) in the person of Fan Bingbing – China’s mega movie star.
The celebrity who has a huge global following made the courtesy call as part of her engagements at the 34th Singapore International Film Festival.
The visit was facilitated by her Johor-born international manager, Ms Jersey Chong, who wanted to introduce Bingbing to the future Yang DiPertuan Agong.
“As Anak Johor, I am so proud that my Sultan will be the next King of Malaysia. We wrote officially to the Johor Istana to enquire if Bingbing could call on His Majesty. We were thrilled when the reply came that Tuanku Sultan has graciously agreed to meet Bingbing,” said Jersey Chong to the “Royal Press Office”.
Bingbing, who has 63 million followers on Weibo (China’s version of X, previously known as Twitter) and 4.1 million Instagram followers, is often touted as the face of global Chinese culture.
One of the world’s highest paid actresses, she runs her own artists’ management agency, a production company and Fan Beauty - a cosmetics and skincare brand that has achieved great success in China. Additionally, she has been the face of Adidas, Louis Vuitton and Moet, selling everything from lipstick to diamonds.
