Lin Meijiao's dotter Chantelle ish pretty leh...
Chantalle Ng, Shalynn Tsai and Joanna Theng are no strangers to showbiz. Their names may not ring a bell, but their famous parents’ would - that’s Lin Meijiao’s daughter (Chantalle), Chen Xiuhuan’s daughter (Shalynn) and doctor Julian Theng’s daughter (Joanna) we’re talking about.
This bunch of kids (and some more) are often seen hanging out together backstage at large-scale events such as the Star Awards or year-end countdown shows while their ‘rents are hard at work, and now it’s their turn to take a shot at this “fame” thing.
In a couple of months’ time, Chantalle, 21, Shalynn, 17, and Joanna, 19, will be unveiled as the new faces of Sunsilk and their faces will be plastered all over the island, from print ads and TVCs (television commercials) to billboards at bus stops and MRT stations.
The man who made all these possible is celebrity hairstylist-turned-talent manager, Addy Lee, and the girls are currently managed by his artiste management agency, Starlist.
Addy clearly has a knack for mining new talent and grooming second-gen celebrity kids (remember how he raised Quan Yi Fong’s daughter, Eleanor Lee’s star profile with a hair ad?) It helps that he has a way with their parents, too, like how he successfully convinced Xiuhuan to allow her second daughter, Shalynn, to take on this five-figure endorsement gig, as well as participate in other upcoming projects which, we’re told, will be revealed in time to come.
In their interviews with Toggle, the girls tell us that “uncle Addy” means serious business – he places a lot of emphasis on their schoolwork and if their grades start to slip, they’ll be put in “cold storage” for three months.
“Uncle Addy prioritises our studies so I can only schedule [jobs] during my holidays,” shared Chantalle, a Year 2 student studying information systems at SMU (Singapore Management University). “This shoot actually takes place during my recess week so it doesn’t clash with my school work,” she quipped.
Things are slightly trickier for Shalynn. The Raffles Institution student had to convince her parents – especially her mum, who is adamant about her daughters not following in her acting career path – about her interest in performing before they finally gave her the green light.
It all “started because of music,” said Shalynn, who took the plunge because she wanted to explore different platforms and avenues to play more violin. “I also made it clear that I won’t give up on my studies,” which includes getting a degree, the budding musician added. “So on that end, she (her mother) was reassured.”
