Hong Kong audiences were surprised and delighted recently when mainland Chinese drama Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils aired on TVB, starring Hong Kong actress Janice Man.

Man has also garnered a lot of attention across the border for starring in new cinematic release Lost in the Stars. Since its release on June 22, box office ticket sales have exceeded US$320 million, per Variety – making it the highest grossing domestic crime film of all time in China.

Man started out as a model at the age of 14 before her first foray into the film world. She delivered some of her most memorable performances in films such as Helios, Cold War 2 and The Midnight After, earning two Hong Kong Film Award nominations. In recent years, she’s been making a name for herself in mainland China with TV dramas including Tribes and Empires: Storm of Prophecy and The Legend of Zu.

Jet set living

An avid globetrotter, Man travels extensively not only for work and fashion weeks but also to explore new cultures and destinations. From a sun-soaked villa in Vietnam to the snow-capped mountains of Cappadocia and the ancient ruins of Pompeii, she clearly indulges her wanderlust with off-the-beaten-path experiences and a sophisticated sense of style.
