90s porn star now sells burgers for HK$32/hour at McDonald’s

Well-known 90s porn star Cheng Yim-Lai who starred in commercials and in numerous popular X-rated films was recently found working the night shift at McDonald’s for HK$32 an hour.

Now 42, a younger Cheung once worked with film star Tony Leung and was the face of innocent youth in the classic 1989 commercial for Vita.

In a McDonald’s uniform, Cheng looks like an ordinary middle-aged woman with a pair of silver-rimmed glasses and gray hair. According to other staff members, she’s polite, works hard, and smiles a lot.

Many netizens have urged the media to leave her alone, and expressed admiration for her decision to work to support herself rather than marry a wealthy man as many porn stars of the 90s did. We agree too!
