'I take it as a compliment'
Her 32E/F bustline is always under scrutiny, but Tien Hsin says...
TAIWANESE compere-actress Tien Hsin is an undisputed sex icon in her country.
Her eye-popping 32F bust size alone makes most men drool in delirium, and women gasp in envy.
Her drama co-star Alex To, for one, joked that he'd love to see her naked.
Strip she did, but only in two pictorial books that have sold over 220,000 copies combined in Taiwan.
Given her reputation, you expect her to be yet another bombshell diva. But Tien Hsin, 29, turned out to be more sassy than sexy, more candid than coquettish.
In town last week to plug her talk show, The Magic Tarot, she laughed easily and spoke animatedly about everything under the sun.
'People have told me that I have charisma. Ha ha, I have them fooled!' she joked, squinting her eyes for effect.
But she did admit that her breasts are her biggest assets.
'There are so many celebrities out there, so it's good for people to remember Tien Hsin as the one with the good figure. I take it as a compliment.'
SCRUTINY
Blessed with an ample bosom since young, she said they are not a burden to her 1.66m-tall, 50kg frame.
'Anyway, they have followed me for almost 30 years now!' she added with a laugh.
But doesn't she feel the heat from the constant scrutiny?
'Initially I did, and I'd wonder, 'Why is it always like that?',' she confided.
'But I'm a positive person, so I won't let that affect me.'
What about the recent talk that her boobs have shrunk due to weight loss?
Tien Hsin shrugged and confirmed that her cup size is now one notch down at 32E, but added that she is still loves to eat.
'I'm the sort who cannot diet because I'm very bad-tempered without food.'
She has a jam-packed work schedule and the lack of rest helped her shed the kilos - 5kg to be exact.
Tien Hsin hosts three TV programmes, including The Magic Tarot, an online gaming show and a J-pop boy band news programme.
She has just completed filming the sequel to the hit drama serial, The Pawnshop No 8, in which she plays an immortal. She is also slated to fly to China to start work on a new serial.
NERVOUS COMPERE
When asked to compare acting and hosting, she said: 'I'm still nervous when it comes to hosting because you need to be spontaneous and react on the spot.
'But for acting, you can always prepare in advance.'
Tien Hsin, who debuted as a singer 11 years ago, gets movie offers from Hong Kong too, but says she is wary of dubious productions.
'I have done comedy (My Loving Trouble 7 opposite Shu Qi) and I like to do comedies, but sometimes you don't know what the script is like,' she explained.
'I spoke to Kelly Lin once and asked her what's her next movie role, she actually said, 'I'll play a woman'.
'I'd worry if I don't know the details, so I'd rather just stick with TV.'
She is keen to do a follow-up to her previous two pictorial books, but insisted that she will not 'lou san dian' (full frontal nudity).
As for Alex's comment that he wants to see her naked, Tien Hsin laughed and retorted: 'I'd like to see him strip off his mask for once!
'He's such a goofball in reality, but on stage, he insists on being a Prince Charming who croons Loving You Forever.'
# The Magic Tarot is shown over Asia Plus Ch 49 at 9pm on Sundays.
MET BOYFRIEND AT CASTLE
THEIR love story is the stuff fairy tales are made of. Tien Hsin first met her boyfriend, an Englishman known only as Patrick, in a castle in France six years ago.
She was there to shoot her first pictorial book and he was the local coordinator for the project. Sparks flew and romance blossomed, despite language differences.
Patrick has since moved to Taipei to be near her.
'I threatened that I'd break up with him if he didn't move over!' joked Tien Hsin.
The couple have been trailed by the paparazzi before, but have not made any scandalous headlines.
