Many often think girls look better with long hair and associate it with feminine characteristics. However, a female who sports short hair is often called a “tomboy” and is assumed to harbour a desire to be male. Thailand’s former beauty queen Lalana Kongtoranin aka Jeab has been proving that line of thinking is wrong.
The Miss Thailand 2006 champion shocked many when she started showing off her boyish looks in 2015. However, she has been rocking the short-hair unisex look. In fact, her appearance in her latest movie “Go Away, Mr. Unknown” might make more girls than guys fall for her!
Lalana caught the public’s eye when she was crowned Miss Thailand in 2006. However, there is more to her than her looks. The beauty queen also boasts brains as a high achieving medical student. Aside from pursuing a career as a doctor, she also juggled her acting and modeling jobs.
Her most recent movie, “Go Away, Mr. Unknown” is set to be screened on 18th November. Lalana’s fans are looking forward to seeing her in action as this time, she will be playing a handsome looking amateur boxer. The actress recently posted a few photos of her character on Instagram, much to the approval of netizens.
Fans have always loved Lalana’s look, but many criticised her choices. Shortly after her change in hairstyle, she was consistently asked about her gender orientation and sexuality. She denied wanting to change her gender, saying she was still a woman. However, she does prefer dressing like a guy as she finds it more comfortable. Lalana has also mentioned that she doesn’t mind dating either men or women, but she’s more comfortable with women. Currently, she’s dating Dia Butsara and is very happy with her relationship.
It’s definitely a different look from her time as Miss Thailand. However, she looks just as happy as she did back then. After all, having long hair or short hair isn’t as important as being comfortable in your own skin.
