Christine Kuo Takes Hiatus from Filming TVB Dramas
Christine Kuo’s (苟芸慧) sudden weight gain in recent months had many fans concerned. Last month, she revealed that she was suffering from hypothyroidism, which led her to gain a significant amount of weight in a short time span. She went on a brief hiatus after filming Tiger Cubs 2 <飛虎II> in October 2013 so she can recuperate.
On January 8, Christine made her first public appearance since her hiatus to attend a fine art event at Landmark North in Sheung Shui. The event was also attended by Hong Kong model-actress Coco Chiang (蔣怡) and Korean fine artist Hong Ji Yoon.
Still recovering from hypothyroidism, Christine dressed conservatively with a long-sleeved short dress with black tights. Keeping a large smile throughout the event, Christine was in good spirits. She admitted to the press that she also suffered through a brief period of depression due to her illness, and expressed her wish to go on a vacation for the Lunar New Year holidays.
“I want to go a quiet, snowy place. I can only relax if I leave Hong Kong,” she said. “But of course I would give out red envelopes to everyone first!”
Christine said TVB has been very understanding of her current health situation, and accommodated by postponing Christine’s schedules, allowing her sufficient time to rest. Although recovering, she currently has no plans to film a TVB drama. “Originally I thought I would get better in about one to two months, but I also caught cold and had to stop medication, delaying the recovery.”
On speaking about new year wishes, Christine admitted that she wants to find new love. “Any girl would want to be loved! Being the only one in Hong Kong can be hard, and I really want to find my Mr. Right!”

I really hope she or anyone suffering from hypothyroidism can get better. But sadly some do not and gave take medication for the rest of their lives.
Meant to sat have to take medication.
read plenty of negative comments on her acting/language efforta as her fling with aaron kwok.. don’t think she has any fans
Well, I’m a fan. Hope she focuses on getting healthy first before returning the caustic environment that is Hong Kong television.
why bother returning, its obvious she has no talent, she’s only in it for the money, am surprised that tvb still want to give her any roles haha

落井下石.
I am sure she will make a comeback.
Come to Canada Christine! It’s a quiet, snowy place. I feel really rushed when I’m in Hong Kong too but in Canada it’s much more slower paced
