It's true: we're beautiful!
|
"CROUCHING Tiger, Hidden Dragon" stars Chow Yun Fat and Zhang Ziyi were named two of the 50 most beautiful people in the world last Wednesday.
The two join the ranks of Julia Roberts, George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez in a list dominated by Hollywood movie stars and pop singers.
Zhang Ziyi, the daughter of a Beijing economist and his kindergarten-teacher wife, is hailed to be Asia's most beguiling new movie presence, after she co-operated with famous directors as Zhang Yimou, Ang Lee, and Jacky Chen.
Across two thirds of the globe, Chow Yun Fat is literally a man who needs no introduction. Since he was 19 years old, he has graced the film and television screens of Asia in a dizzying array of serials and films; after his collaboration with John Woo in the classic action film "A Better Tomorrow", Chow's portrayals of 'killer with a conscience' characters made him the icon of a genre and inspired a new wave of action filmmaking. After that, he came to Hollywood and found his own position there.
British actress Catherine Zeta-Jones graces the cover of the People special issue and although it is her third appearance on the list she still recalls a time when she was the ugly duckling.
Oscar winner Julia Roberts makes her sixth appearance, a record she shares with Michelle Pfeiffer and Tom Cruise. Oscar winner Benicio del Toro smolders alongside Johnny Depp and Britain's Colin Firth.
Basketball player Kobe Bryant, baseball player Alex Rodriguez, American football coach Jon Gruden, TV executive Carole Black and US Representative Harold Ford Jr are among the noncelebrity beauties on the list of 50.(SD-Agencies)
