Chinese actor Jing Boran has recently gained attention for his role in the popular drama “Early Spring Sunny.” On September 4th, he appeared in a live stream to promote the new drama and voluntarily addressed the rumors about his tragic upbringing that resurfaced among netizens, denying the claims that he was abandoned by his mother just 28 days after birth.
Jing Boran stars alongside Sun Qian in the idol drama “Early Spring Sunny,” which broke platform heat records within just four days of its release on Youku and Netflix on August 26th. In the drama, Jing plays the role of “Luan Nian,” the director of an advertising company, attracting a large fan base with his good looks and superb acting skills. However, as the series gained popularity, it also led to some netizens overinterpreting his past interviews.
In 2007, Jing Boran participated in the talent show “My Hero.” He won the national championship and the Best Online Popularity Award. Many contestants at the time played up their difficult backgrounds, so when Jing Boran won, the program used words like “tortured childhood” to describe him. Later, Jing Boran entered the entertainment industry and rose to fame with films such as “Monster Hunt,” “The Ghouls,” and “Us and Them,” receiving acclaim for his acting skills.
Now, with the success of “Early Spring Sunny,” Jing Boran’s past has been scrutinized by many, leading to rumors that he was abandoned by his biological mother just 28 days after birth and was raised by his grandmother due to his parents’ divorce, having to work at a young age to earn money, which has left many fans heartbroken.
Regarding the most widespread rumor of abandonment, Jing Boran is baffled by the origin of these stories. He emphatically states, “I have a very good relationship with my mother,” confirming that his mother never abandoned him when he was a newborn.
Addressing claims online that he grew up in poverty and was forced to work at a young age to support the family, Jing Boran clarifies that he never had any work experience in his childhood, dismissing it as fake news. Furthermore, in response to rumors accusing his father of not loving his family, Jing Boran speaks up for his father, stating that his father actually loves and cares for his family, hoping to clear his family’s name.
As for the recent speculation about his eyes changing from double eyelids to a deeper “triple eyelid,” leading to allegations of double eyelid surgery, Jing Boran humorously responded in the live stream by jokingly rubbing his eyelids, saying, “I didn’t have surgery, it’s just that I’m getting older and my skin is getting loose.” He explained that shooting two films consecutively last year, staying up day and night for half a year, caused instability in his eye condition.
Jing Boran openly expresses his happiness as an actor that his new work “Early Spring Sunny” is being seen by everyone. He mentions that people looking back on old photos or stories as entertainment is understandable, but when faced with obvious false content, he hopes that everyone can maintain their judgment and not blindly spread rumors, urging people to “not believe fake news.”
