When It Comes to the Glitz and Glamour of Showbiz, Most People Assume That the Biggest Struggle Is Keeping Up With the Public’s Expectation. Diana Danielle Reveals How, Despite Being in the Public Eye, She Tries Her Best to Stay True to Herself Without Getting Too Sucked in by Peer Pressure and the Demands of Showbiz.
Diana might have been born in Texas, but she’s no American chick. Her heart has always been with Malaysia and she insists that she is more Malaysian than anything else since she moved here at a very young age. Diana’s been in front of the camera since she was a baby and she has her mum to thank for that. Believe it or not, she was even part of our 50 Gorgeous People back in the day (so it’s timely that she’s appearing on our cover this month)!
Diana has gotten so used to being in front of the camera that she can’t imagine what life would be like if she wasn’t an actress. Unfortunately, along with the fame, she has had her equal share of pain as well, especially when she got sucked into the vicious gossip cycle of the local entertainment scene.
FEMALE: HOW DID YOUR ACTING CAREER BEGIN?
DIANA: “It started with diaper ads. According to my mum, someone scouted me when we were walking around in Bukit Bintang. My mum was always open to the idea of me appearing in commercials and that’s how it started. Up till today, she is my manager and the biggest force in my life. She knew from the start that my heart lies in acting.”
