From dating mishaps to living with small breasts, YouTube sensation Linda Dong's hilarious take on her life as a Vietnamese Canadian
The aspiring actress decided to make her own opportunities while in-betweeen auditions and now has more than 650,000 followers
In her YouTube videos, Linda Dong doesn't mind you laughing at her. With more than 650,000 subscribers and 86 million hits on her channel since 2011, the 22-year-old from Vancouver has ambitions of going places as an internet celebrity.
The short skits on the LeendaDProductions channel talk about life as a young Asian woman - from parodying the different kinds of men she has dated, what it's like to be flat chested, making fun of Korean soap operas, and hiding a boyfriend from strict parents while dating in high school.
The Vietnamese Canadian not only writes and directs the videos, but edits them too, uploading a new video each week. Credits roll at the end complete with outtakes that are just as funny. "YouTube is such a blessing. It's a platform that's so easy for any creative to express him or herself. It's pretty awesome," she says during an interview on Skype, as she sits in a Vancouver coffee shop.
"Usually what happens is that I'll be talking with my friends and something funny comes out of the conversation. When I voice the concept out, a whole script comes to my mind. I write the title of it on my phone and then when I go home I write the script on my computer," Dong explains.
