Pregnant Fann Wong willing to pose nude for photos

SINGAPORE - Actress Fann Wong, who is now seven months pregnant, has said she would not mind posing nude for photos while pregnant, but only on condition that her husband Christopher Lee is the photographer.

She told Shin Min Daily News at a Bulgari event on Monday: "I don't mind, but only if my husband is the photographer, then I would feel more comfortable."

Fann said the couple do not want to find out the sex of the baby, but people around her have speculated that she may be carrying a boy. The couple have yet to decide on the baby's name.

"I will wait until the baby is born before consulting a geomancer on the Chinese name. As for the English name, we tried flipping through a book of baby names, but fell asleep after a while," said Fann, laughing.

Fann cheekily added that they considered calling the baby "Lee Lee", making his or her name "Lee Lee Lee". "That will be fun!" said Fann, before bursting into laughter.

Fann was attending a "Save The Children" charity event organised by Bulgari on Monday night, together with Malaysian actress Yeo Yann Yann.

Besides being in good spirits, Fann said the pregnancy has made her physically stronger.

Said the 43-year-old actress: "Before I got pregnant, the doctor accurately diagnosed that I often suffered from body aches, especially around my waist. But after that, the pain just went away, touch wood. It could be the hormones, or that the body naturally strengthens itself in preparation for pregnancy."

Fann added that the nausea and vomitting which plagued her during the first three months of pregnancy has also disappeared, and she is truly enjoying her pregnancy at the moment.
