Things hasn’t been easy for Fan Bingbing (范冰冰) after her tax evasion scandal made worldwide headlines last year.
The Chinese beauty, who just turned 38 on Monday (16th September), is set to make her comeback with the anticipated Hollywood spy thriller, “355”.

She’ll be starring alongside a bunch of A-list actresses including Jessica Chastain, Penélope Cruz, Lupita Nyong’o, and Diane Kruger (who replaced French actress Marion Cotillard in June). The problem is, Bingbing may still be barred from leaving China.
Although Bingbing had done some photoshoots and promotional work for “355”, a body double for her showed up on set in France recently. Reports claim that Chinese actress Lu Ning (鹿寧) has been standing in for Bingbing since July.
The CGI dots (or green spots) on Lu Ning’s face will probably be replaced with Bingbing in post-production. In addition to Paris, “355” will also be shot in London and Morocco.
