She's one of China's most famous and highly paid movie stars. And she has vanished.
Fan Bingbing, who has played superhero Blink in 2014's X-Men: Days of Future Past and has starred in dozens of top grossing Chinese language films, hasn't been seen since early June, CNN reports.
Her official Weibo social media account hasn't been updated in nearly two months.
The bizarre disappearance follows an explosive newspaper article in May that accused her of tax evasion. And in September she was given the not-so-honourable distinction of ranking dead last out of 100 Chinese celebrities in a Beijing Normal University "social responsibility" report.
The timing of the bad publicity and the disappearance has led some experts to wonder aloud if the Communist Party has disappeared her.
Ms Fan, 37, has consistently ranked in the top 10 of the Forbes China Celebrity 100 list for the past twelve years - nabbing the top spot in 2013 and 2014. In addition to her movie career, she has starred in TV shows and dabbled in pop music.
She has over 63 million followers on social media.
Unlike their counterparts in Hollywood, celebrities in China rarely seek out publicity by generating salacious headlines, a China expert says.
"If you are a billionaire, then that is something that obviously you can enjoy to a certain extent," cyber analyst Fergus Ryan told CNN.
"But you've got to be very, very wary that you don't at any stage cross a red line of some sort and fall afoul of the Chinese Communist Party."
