The gradual comeback of Fan Bingbing shows no signs of abating, as the Chinese superstar accepted a media interview for the first time since her tax-evasion scandal broke in May in 2018.

The 37-year-old actress disappeared from public view for several months in 2018 over a tax-evasion scandal before resurfacing on social media last October and apologising for her indiscretion. She was also ordered to pay more than 800 million yuan (RM491mil) in overdue taxes and fines.
