Hong Kong entertainer Chu Mimi has revealed that her recent weight loss from 130 to 110 pounds is due to daily household chores and avoiding dairy, not a strict diet. She discussed this during a radio interview on Metro Showbiz’s “Happy Party,” hosted by Nancy Sit and Fan Chun Fung. The occasion also promoted two charity concerts at the Queen Elizabeth Stadium in Wan Chai, with proceeds benefiting the Bo Ai Nursing Home, which has 1,400 beds and is the largest of its kind in Hong Kong. She lightheartedly mentioned considering a bed reservation there herself.
Guest Performers and Chemistry
The concerts will feature veteran singer Yip Chun Tong and actor Lai Yiu Cheung, whom Chu affectionately calls her “boyfriends.” She highlighted their strong on-stage synergy, which allows for spontaneous performances without rehearsal or scripts. Chu also uses Yip’s home studio for music recordings and reciprocates with his favorite shark fin.
Active Living Without Dieting
Chu attributes her weight reduction to an active lifestyle. She has never employed domestic help, handling all sweeping, mopping, cooking, and gardening herself. She also avoids dairy products like cream and cheese. From a peak of 130 pounds, she now maintains over 110 pounds without intentional dieting. She believes in contentment and staying busy.
Iconic Film Prop Lost
Chu reflected on her role in “Justice, My Foot!” as a wet nurse. The costume team crafted a comedic prosthetic bust using sponge from tatami mats and a large bra from a market. Preserved for years, the prop was lost during a recent move. Chu expressed both humor and regret, hoping to find it or recreate it for the concerts.
Simple Life in Singapore
Residing in a two-and-a-half-story house in Singapore, Chu continues her self-sufficient regime. She holds that living honestly and without regret is key to youthfulness and health.
Community Impact
The charity concerts underscore Chu’s dedication to elderly care and community service. Her health philosophy encourages sustainable habits and practical wellness.
