List of Chinese stars causing embarrassment at Cannes 2024

The actions of Chinese celebrities at the Cannes Film Festival have sparked interest in China. There have been reports of some of the country’s leading stars experiencing awkward situations at this renowned event, particularly with Guan Xiaotong being the focus of attention.

According to iFeng, Guan Xiaotong, similar to Tong Liya, was reminded by Cannes organizers for taking too long to pose for photos.

As she made her way down the red carpet stairs, the actress would frequently pause to strike a pose for photos. This caught the attention of event organizers, who stepped in to remind her. Although she initially hurried along, Guan Xiaotong continued to pose, leading a staff member to approach and escort her away.

Criticism from iFeng revolved around Guan Xiaotong’s persistent posing, pointing out that she had been previously reminded at Cannes in 2023 but continued the behavior this year.

Despite having made five appearances at Cannes, it was expected that Guan Xiaotong would understand the proper red carpet etiquette. However, her actions, which continued even after being reminded, received criticism and backlash.

On the first day of the festival, which took place on May 14 according to French time, Tong Liya, Jade Leung, and Chinese internet sensation Miles Moretti received backlash for spending too much time on the red carpet.

Despite being reminded by event staff, Tong Liya’s team and Miles Moretti continued to pose for pictures, despite photographers having moved on to other subjects. These actions were met with widespread criticism on social media.

The Chinese media reported that the conduct of numerous Chinese celebrities, ranging from A-listers to mid-tier stars, at the opening day of Cannes had caused embarrassment among domestic netizens.
