What did People’s Artist Thanh Dien – husband of late artist Thanh Kim Hue say before the news of adopting a People’s Artist who is 8 years younger than her?

In recent days, the rumor that “late artist Thanh Kim Hue’s husband adopted a female artist 8 years younger than her” has caused a stir on social networks. Many conflicting opinions have emerged surrounding this adoption story, mainly coming from the age gap.

Artist couple Thanh Dien – Thanh Kim Hue devoted their lives to theater. Even though People’s Artist Thanh Dien’s life partner has been gone for nearly 3 years now, her roles, especially the couple’s love story of more than half a century, are still beautiful memories in the hearts of many generations of audiences. .

Artists Thanh Dien and Thanh Kim Hue have a love story that is considered “beautiful like a fairy tale”.

At noon on April 24, chatting with reporters about rumors, People’s Artist Thanh Dien said that it was true that he adopted People’s Artist My Hang. “I adopted My Hang as my child when I rehearsed the play ‘The Fatherland at the End of the Road’ by actor Le Nguyen Dat. That girl is eager to learn, cute, gentle, personable, and sincere. I also lost my daughter. So I consider My Hang as my daughter.” People’s Artist Thanh Dien smiled kindly.

However, according to the male artist, he and his adopted son are many years apart, not 8 years old as rumored. “This year I am 80 years old. My Hang, as far as I know, is only around 40 years old. I didn’t expect them to say that. So I’m probably too young in that photo. Don’t tell the truth, it will affect many people. She even calls Hue (People’s Artist Thanh Kim Hue) aunt“, People’s Artist Thanh Dien said.

According to the reporter’s research, People’s Artist Thanh Dien was born in 1945, People’s Artist My Hang was born in 1975. So in fact, he is 30 years older than his adopted son.

“It’s been 3 years but I still can’t get used to life without Hue. People say that time will be the medicine that heals all wounds, that’s probably what they comfort me with. Actually, I don’t believe it. Because every day I love and miss Hue more and more”- People’s Artist Thanh Dien felt sad.

Every day when he wakes up, goes to a performance or eats delicious food, he remembers her. “I miss Hue so much, whoever can forget will forget, but every day I miss Hue more and more. The habit I love the most and hate the most in Hue is that if I make an appointment and I’m late, Hue will nag me very badly. People say Hue passed away, but I think she’s acting somewhere, in some country, but I don’t think Hue passed away. Like the day my daughter passed away, I thought she would just go to school… Thinking like that to ease the pain in my heart, to hope to see my wife again, to see my child again in my subconscious, in my memories…”- People’s Artist Thanh Dien emotionally shared.
