Why you can trust SCMP

After the publicity generated by her stage performance in Glengarry Glen Ross, her car crash and Ecstasy arrest, actress Anya Wu is at it again. Now she plans to publish a raunchy photobook.

'It's going to shock some people,' Wu (right) told SAR from Taiwan yesterday. 'But I hope to win over more fans than I lose.'

Not so long ago, stripping for the camera was a fast route to obscurity, but the success of the likes of Christy Chung Lai-tai and Shu Qi has convinced Wu that it's a risk worth taking.

'I am ready to take my clothes off,' said the New York-raised actress. 'But it has to be right. I am not interested in doing something crude. I want to capture my ideas about sexuality; a mix of the raw Taiwanese style and more sophisticated Western style.'

Shooting will start soon and take her to Shanghai, Hong Kong and Taiwan. The book - as yet untitled - is expected to appear in the summer.
