Singapore’s most famous social media personality Wendy Cheng, also known by her online moniker Xiaxue makes her first ever movie appearance in Cathay's 'Our Sister Mambo'!
In a role specially written for the popular social media personality, Cheng will star as herself opposite popular Singaporean host, actress and director Michelle Chong, who will be playing the titular role of Mambo.
Famed for having a direct, provocative and humorous voice, Cheng is enthused about her first experience on a film set: “I feel very honoured to be part of Our Sister Mambo. The film will not only be a huge milestone for Cathay Organisation, which is celebrating its landmark 80th anniversary in 2015, but for myself too; as it is the first time ever that I am appearing on the big screen! Although I will be acting as myself, I still consider it an exciting challenge. I look forward to working with the talented production team and cast – I’m sure it will be a fun and memorable experience!”
Her online series, Xiaxue’s Guide to Life, hosted on clicknetwork.tv, also enjoys massive popularity; with the most popular episode being viewed more than 660,000 times will also feature an episode on Cheng’s behind-the-scenes footage during the filming of Our Sister Mambo.
Our Sister Mambo is scheduled to begin shooting from August this year in Singapore.
