Truong Tri Truc Diem - a beauty who was once included in the "100 Most Beautiful Faces in the World " list published by TC Candler in 2014. Her life is not a journey filled with roses. Behind her beautiful face are years of ups and downs, falling down a few times, getting up many times so that today she can smile and look back and move on.

A glorious time

Born in 1987, Truc Diem entered showbiz with the title of 1st runner-up of Miss Vietnam Photogenic 2005. Just a few years later, she represented Vietnam in the Miss Earth 2007 contest and won the Fashion Beauty award. In 2000, Truc Diem appeared continuously in major magazines, fashion stages, and advertisements and was dubbed the "advertising queen".

Not only stopping at beauty, she also conquered the audience with her impressive education: graduated in business administration in Singapore, fluent in English, Korean and good communication in Chinese - something rare among showbiz beauties at that time.

In 2011, Truc Diem continued to make her mark when she entered the top 15 of Miss International. Her film career also took off. After her debut role in Snow White's Diary (2010), Truc Diem participated in Passion (2012) - a work that was screened at many international film festivals. However, her big turning point came through her role in High Heel Plot (2013).

2013 was also a memorable milestone when she appeared on the prestigious red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival. A year later, Truc Diem was named 67th in the TC Candler list of "100 Most Beautiful Faces in the World".

Unexpected twists

With her beauty and talent, Truc Diem seemed to have a fulfilling life. In 2015, at the peak of her career, she chose to get married and retire from the spotlight. In June 2021, the beauty moved to the US to settle down with her husband, but after only 6 months, she suddenly confirmed her divorce.

Truc Diem explained the reason for the breakup was "irreconcilable differences" but the two still maintain a civilized relationship.

After the divorce, she continued to pursue art in the US as a model and actress. But behind the stage lights were days of quietly overcoming financial and mental crises. She once revealed that when she came to the US, she was "empty-handed", lost all her money, had to sell branded goods to make ends meet and fell into depression because of failed businesses.

"I understand that I am just a zero, so I always keep an open-minded and humble attitude. No one owes me anything, I have to stand up for myself," she once shared.

The incident did not stop there. The beauty also had to face hyperthyroidism, which affected her appearance, health and even her memory.

Resurrecting after falling down

After 2 years of active treatment, Truc Diem gradually regained her health and spirit. At the age of 38, she returned with a radiant appearance, confident demeanor and energetic demeanor. Not rushing to fall in love again or seek a new marriage, Truc Diem chose to live single and free. She affirmed: "Marriage is not for everyone. Don't enter an unsuitable relationship because of loneliness."

She also surprised many people when she reappeared on the Cannes red carpet in 2022. In 2025, Truc Diem returned to the big screen with the leading role in the movie The Last Mermaid , co-starring with actor Jack McEvoy. The work was filmed in Vietnam and introduced at the Cannes Film Festival, opening a new chapter in her journey to conquer international cinema.

Looking back on the past years, Truc Diem has no regrets. She believes that the events have helped her mature and appreciate life more.

Miss Truc Diem after 3 years in the US: 'There are injuries that make me cry just thinking about them' 'I am still in the process of "recovering" and believe that I will become better if I don't give up. After all, it was my decision, so I learned to accept and forgive instead of complaining about it', Truc Diem shared.
