Christine Kuo

Christine Kuo (; born 11 July 1983) is a Taiwanese-Canadian actress based in Hong Kong. She was the winner of the Miss Chinese Toronto Pageant 2008 and Miss Chinese International Pageant 2009.

Early life Kuo grew up in Taichung, Taiwan. She attended Taichung Municipal Bei Tun Elementary School until moving with her family to Toronto, Canada at age 10. She majored in mathematics at University of Waterloo. Due to her father's business failure and cancer diagnosis, she transferred to study project management remotely at University of Calgary. She worked as a project manager during her studies.

Career She won four awards at the 2008 Miss Chinese Toronto Pageant: Miss Photogenic, Miss Fittest Posture, Miss Popularity and Miss Most Beautiful Hair. In January 2009, she represented Toronto to compete in the Miss Chinese International Pageant 2009 as a favorite contestant due to her awards and popularity. She was then awarded the Miss International Charm Award and later was crowned winner of Miss Chinese International 2009.

She signed a 6-year contract with TVB and moved from Toronto to Hong Kong to pursue a career in the entertainment industry.

She returned as a judge in the Miss Chinese Toronto Pageant 2009.

Currently, due to thyroid problems in recent years, her production has been reduced, and her workload has dropped significantly. At the end of 2015, Kuo originally decided to leave TVB after her contract expired. Later, after repeated attempts by TVB's Director of Production Resources, Virginia Lok Yee-ling, Kuo retained her for another year, and on the same day, she renewed her contract to resume work in November.

In October 2016, Kuo's contract with TVB officially expired. As she was once a frequent actor of TVB producer Lam Chi Wah, the film "Over Run Over" she completed after retiring from the screen also became her farewell work.

In 2017, she went to Milan as a guest editor to do interviews, street interviews, etc.

In 2018, she wore a wedding dress designed by designer Kev at her wedding. It attracted a lot of attention because it was the same color as the dress worn by Princess Belle in "Beauty and the Beast". Afterwards, some online media revealed that after Miss Kuo asked a designer to design a dress for her and received two wedding dresses for free, she not only did not promote the designer, but also revealed to friends in the industry that "if it weren't for me, no one would know about it." She even lied to the media that this was a wedding dress she designed, which greatly reduced her character and integrity.

Personal life Christine Kuo was born and raised in Taichung, Taiwan in 1983. She attended Beitun Elementary School in Beitun District, Taichung City, and immigrated to Toronto, Canada with her family when she was ten years old.
