Michelle Chen unperturbed by "Condor Heroes" controversy

3 Aug – Taiwanese actress Michelle Chan is unfazed over recent controversy surrounding her casting as the beloved Little Dragon Girl in the 2014 drama, "The Romance of the Condor Heroes", according to Epoch Times.

The issue sparked last week, when controversial producer Yu Zheng revealed on social media that Michelle was not his first choice to play the role made famous by actresses like Carman Lee and Idy Chan.

In response to a netizen, Yu said that the only reason he cast Michelle in the drama was because his lead actor Chen Xiao wanted to do the drama with her - a decision that angered fans' of the franchise while eventually led to Michelle and Chen tying the knot and having a baby together in real life.

When asked about it recently, Michelle, who appeared at a charity event in Taipei, laughed and responded, "Why are we still talking about this? We're already married!"

Michelle said that she never asked her husband why she was chosen to play Little Dragon Girl, but is thankful to him for the opportunity.
