Francoise's life took an unexpected turn at a very young age, as she deliberately opted to forgo the opportunity to pursue a career in music and instead chose to embark on a degree in Political Science. It was during this period that she began to explore the world of modeling, a venture that, although brief, ultimately led to a life-changing experience. Francoise's modeling career may not have endured, but it did present her with the chance to share the screen with none other than the renowned Jackie Chan in the iconic film Rumble in the Bronx. Her impressive performance earned her not one, but two prestigious Hong Kong Film Award nominations, catapulting her to stardom.
Despite not being a trained martial artist, Francoise demonstrated a remarkable aptitude for screen-fighting, which ultimately paved the way for her to participate in a variety of martial arts movies. Her impressive athletic abilities and dedication to her craft led to collaborations with the legendary Jet Li on not one, but two occasions, further solidifying her status as a talented and versatile actress.
