Shu Qi denies retiring from showbiz

10 Dec – Shu Qi has recently clarified her previous social media post which was falsely interpreted as a retirement announcement.

As reported on People News, earlier this week Shu shared a photo of her cat on Weibo and wrote, "I am taking a break from acting. Thank you for all your love and support, see you soon."

The post sparked speculation of many, with some netizens believing that the actress is retiring from her acting job to become a director, while others thinking that she is pregnant with her first baby.

However, Shu recently denied it, saying she just wants to rest and recuperate, so that she could improve her skin problem.

"The doctors advised me to take a good rest. I have been having this skin allergy for a while now, and it hasn't been better. I need to heal before I can face the camera again," she said.

The actress stated that she was surprised at how her simple announcement turned into a big issue.

Her last project prior to her announcement was the movie, "Shanghai Fortress", to be released in 2019.
