Mimi Baramee Meemak, a former Miss Tiffany 2025 contestant, is emerging as a Thai talent to watch on the Asian entertainment scene. She is gaining attention for her role in the 2026 Chinese blockbuster "Kung Fu Soccer" (功夫女足), directed by the legendary Stephen Chow.
Notably, Mimi is a Thai transgender woman appearing in this film, working alongside top Chinese actors, marking a significant milestone for Thai representation in Asian cinema.
The film narrates the story of a women's soccer team that combines martial arts with the sport, overcoming rivals, obstacles, and pressure to prove themselves on the competition field. It premiered in China on 11 July 2026 and immediately generated buzz.
The star-studded cast includes Zhang Xiaofei as “Shuangshuang,” the team captain; superstar Dilraba Dilmurat as “Yulong,” the forward; and Lay Zhang (Zhang Yixing) as “Xu Feng,” the team's kung fu coach.
Among the multinational cast, Mimi Baramee’s appearance stands out for Thai fans. Transitioning from the Miss Tiffany stage to a major Chinese film set marks an intriguing shift from beauty pageants to international entertainment.
Moreover, working alongside Dilraba Dilmurat, one of China’s most popular actresses with a vast Asian fanbase, and under Stephen Chow’s direction, increases Mimi Baramee’s chances of gaining wider recognition.
Thai fans should watch closely for Mimi Baramee’s scenes when "Kung Fu Soccer" premieres in Thailand on 20 August 2026.
This film doesn’t only spotlight Dilraba Dilmurat; it’s also likely to introduce many Thais to Mimi Baramee’s name for the first time.
