Lucy Liu’s family ‘embarrassed by her fame’
July 10th, 2009 - 4:47 pm ICT by ANILondon, July 10 (ANI): Actress Lucy Liu has revealed that her family struggles to adjust to the fact that she is a film star.
The 40-year-old achieved fame through her roles on US TV show ‘Ally McBeal’ and in films such as ‘Charlie’s Angels’ and ‘Kill Bill’.
However, she revealed that her older brother, sister and parents do not let anyone know that she is part of their immediate family.
“There’s always sacrifices. My family don’t generally say that they’re related to me - my sister doesn’t say she’s my sister - because they don’t want to be judged or lauded based on who I am,” the Daily Star quoted Liu as saying.
She added that her parents never wanted her to become an actress in the first place, but have come around to the idea.
“I think my parents are happy about my career now, but originally I was like, ‘Why don’t you support whatever I want to do? If I wanted to sell beef on the street why wouldn’t you want to support me?’ But it’s not about that. Parents never stop being parents, and yet you want them to be your friends at a certain age and that’s just not going to happen,” she added. (ANI)
