Former Hong Kong actress Grace Chan on why raising a family and her Christian faith mean more than a career in television
- After becoming Miss Hong Kong in 2013, Grace Chan starred in several TVB series before marrying actor Kevin Cheng and having two sons, Rafael and Yannick
- The launch of her own beauty product brand, Snow Queen, means she can work from home and spend more time with her sons, but she still misses acting
Having stepped back from show business when she became the mother of two boys, former Miss Hong Kong and TVB actress Grace Chan Hoi-lam misses acting and being on the set of a production.
“I miss being in a team environment where everyone works together to make an amazing product for the audience to view,” Chan tells the Post.
“It was so much fun being able to play someone else, to be transported into a different world and era of time. That’s what I genuinely miss.”
Her last acting work was in 2018 in the TVB drama Justice Bao: The First Year. Chan says motherhood has changed her priorities in life.
“I have to prioritise my children and family over work,” she says. Chan recently launched her own beauty product brand, Snow Queen, and it gives her time to be with her sons. “I want to spend more time with them. That’s also why I started Snow Queen last year so I can work from home. Seeing my boys grow up and being with them every step of the way makes everything incredibly worthwhile.”
