Behind every child star shining on screen lies a family’s silent sacrifices. This rings true for Cherry An Nhiên, a beloved young actress known for her emotionally rich performances. Her journey to stardom is a testament to her mother’s unwavering support and the delicate balance between education and artistic pursuits.

When did you first notice Cherry An Nhiên’s artistic talent? What considerations did your family make when she started receiving acting offers?
Her talent emerged early on. As a toddler, she was a natural in front of the camera, which led to her modeling for photo shoots. This eventually opened doors to small roles in TV dramas. With guidance from directors, she excelled in her performances.
Witnessing her passion and skill, I decided to support her journey without overthinking. However, I carefully evaluate each project, considering its content, schedule, and potential impact on her education.

What does Cherry An Nhiên enjoy most about being on set?
She thrives on the love and appreciation she receives from the cast and crew. Her excellent communication skills allow her to engage with everyone, even when I’m not present. She’s a self-starter who takes initiative and collaborates effectively.
During her time working with Quỳnh Kool and B Trần, they often treated her to gifts and outings. Their bond extended beyond the set, with them occasionally picking her up from school, taking her out for meals, and even visiting me in the hospital when I was unwell.
For emotionally demanding roles, does Cherry fully grasp the character’s struggles? How do you guide her in understanding the script and developing her character?
Despite her busy schedule, I trust Cherry to interpret the script and rely on her instincts and directors’ guidance. Though untrained, she intuitively understands how to portray her characters. On set, directors provide further direction to refine her performance.

Does Cherry ever feel overwhelmed by balancing school and acting? As her manager, driver, stylist, and makeup artist, do you ever feel burnt out?
Cherry views acting as a fun activity, so she doesn’t feel pressured. However, catching up on schoolwork can be tiring at times. When this happens, she communicates her needs, and I step in to help.
Juggling multiple roles to support her career is exhausting, but as her mother, I find comfort in handling everything myself. My perfectionism drives me to ensure every detail is perfect for her.
What sacrifices has your family made to support Cherry’s career?
Our journey has required significant sacrifices: time, energy, and even personal happiness. My ex-husband and I had differing views on her artistic pursuits, but I believed in nurturing her talent. Looking back, I’m confident in our decision to support her passion.

How do you handle negative comments about Cherry and your family online? How do you prepare her for social media’s impact as she grows older?
Initially, negative comments upset me, but I’ve learned to manage my emotions. I understand that these challenges can foster strength and growth. Cherry’s resilience inspires me; she focuses on the positive and motivates me during difficult times.

With irregular schedules, how do you ensure Cherry’s health and development? How do you manage her skincare routine given the heavy makeup requirements?
I prioritize Cherry’s nutrition, supplementing her diet with vitamins and minerals as advised by our nutritionist. For skincare, she follows my guidance and even does her own makeup when I’m unavailable or unwell.

How does Cherry want the audience to perceive her? And how do you see her as a mother?
Cherry aspires to be recognized as a multifaceted artist and philanthropist. She’s already joined me on charity missions, reflecting her compassionate nature.
As her mother, I see a strong-willed, playful, and occasionally stubborn girl. She’s mature beyond her years, understanding my sacrifices and expressing gratitude. I strive to be her friend, sharing life’s joys and challenges.
Despite her maturity, she remains carefree, finding joy in simple pleasures like eating out, shopping, and playing with friends. Her artistic side shines when she spends hours drawing with her coloring set.
Cherry’s sensitivity is evident when she tears up at any mention of my sacrifices. She often shares how I’ve worked tirelessly for her, sewing costumes late into the night. Her empathy and understanding sometimes bring me to tears.

Does Cherry feel pressured to be “better” or “more well-behaved” due to her public image? Are there any misconceptions about her that you’d like to clarify?
I emphasize character over talent, teaching her the importance of good behavior. As a former teacher, I’m strict and perfectionistic in my parenting. I’ve instilled manners and etiquette in her from a young age.
While I encourage her to be well-behaved, I don’t push her to be exceptionally talented, as it could create unnecessary pressure. Some assume I’m forcing her to work excessively, but Cherry genuinely loves what she does. She balances school, passion, and earning her own income, which I believe is a positive experience.

As a single mother, what’s been your biggest challenge? Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the responsibility of being both parents to Cherry?
Cherry sometimes finds it easier to confide in others than in me due to my strict nature. I stay observant and seek help from those she trusts to ensure she receives the support she needs. I believe I understand her, even when she doesn’t express herself directly.
Our relationship is more like friends than mother and daughter. We often bicker, with me being the more childish one and Cherry playing the peacemaker. My father jokes that Cherry should be the older sister, given her maturity.

Being a single parent has its pressures, from providing financially to raising her well, and dealing with external judgments. I’ve experienced depression but find strength in Cherry’s presence, motivating me to be better.
How has Cherry changed after your family’s challenges?
She’s matured beyond her years, surprising me with her insightful comments. She understands my struggles and often declines treats, saying they’re too expensive. Her empathy and consideration for me are heartwarming.

What does happiness mean to you both now?
Happiness is spending quality time together after work. We enjoy coffee dates, meals, shopping, and outings with loved ones, cherishing these simple yet precious moments.
Thank you, Cherry and her mother!
