Back in January, Chinese director-actress Jia Ling, 41, caught everyone by surprise when it was revealed that she lost 50kg in a year for her new film Yolo.
However, the star has not been seen in public since the announcement.
Well, seeing is believing, right?
With Yolo premiering last Friday, (Feb 9), Jia Ling made an appearance to promote her film, showing off her new trim physique in person for the first time.
Yolo tells the story of an unemployed woman who still lives with her parents until she meets a boxing coach who changes her life.
The director’s weight loss journey was also revealed as an Easter egg in the film. She was approximately 105kg when she started shooting the movie on Jan 4 last year.
It showed how on Nov 24 last year, she had already lost about 58kg. She then deliberately gained 20kg and then lost it again.
