Hong Kong comedian Sandra Oh has a 16-year-old daughter Jillian with her long-term partner, 59-year-old Hong Kong director Peter Chan.
The 56-year-old actress recently reposted a photo of herself with Jillian - who rarely appears on Sandra's social media - and netizens simply can't understand how the latter looks now How mature.
Yes, that's Sandra and Jillian
In the photo, the mother and daughter are hugging each other. Sandra is wearing a white top with several huge pearls hanging around her neck.
Although we can barely see Jillian's face, the teen is wearing a figure-hugging gown (remember when she was 14 and the Hong Kong media dubbed her a "leggy beauty"?).
Looks great, Jillian
She probably has her mom to thank for these assets.
According to Hong Kong media reports, Sandra, who gave birth to Gillian at the age of 41, has extremely strict requirements on her daughter. According to reports, her daughter is not allowed to eat snacks or drink carbonated drinks.
However, despite her reputation as a "tiger mom," the actress once revealed in an interview that she and Jillian are actually more like "friends."
"[You] can't go head-to-head [with her]," said the actress, who acknowledged that her daughter is old enough to have a mind of her own. ( Well, still no snacks and sweet drinks? )
Jillian and her family Sandra and Peter
But did you know that Sandra and Peter didn't originally plan on having children?
The couple, who have been together since 1998, once made a pact not to get married or have children. But things changed for Sandra and Peter when the actress turned 39, and they are still married.
At that time, Peter told Sandra: "You are almost 40 years old, time is running out, and [we] have to think seriously about [our future]." Peter's words prompted Sandra to change her mind, and the actress She gave birth to Gillian in 2006, when she was 41 years old.
Another second-generation star in the making?
Her parents are both in the industry. Will this teenager also venture into the entertainment industry?
Sandra left it all to Jillian - who seemed perfectly fine with it.
In fact, Gillian, who may have inherited some of her mother's star qualities, had a cameo role in the 2021 Hong Kong film "Zero to Hero." She also volunteered as an extra in Sandra's new film Chilli Laugh Story.
It is said that Jillian, who had no lines for one second of the film, even took the liberty of writing a few lines for herself on the spot.
