The new NBC sitcom Sunnyside, is about a former New York City councilman (Kal Penn) who “finds his calling when he meets a group of immigrants in search of the American dream.” He helps them study to pass the history test they need to take in order to become American citizens. One of the immigrants is Chinese beauty and rich girl Mei Lin, who’s portrayed by actress Poppy Liu.
When not filming Sunnyside, Liu is having fun in New York City. The Chinese-born actress recently flaunted her incredibly toned body in a fun bikini with cartoon eyes, taken at Jacob Riis Beach in Rockaway, Queens. The isolated eastern end of the beach has been, historically, the most popular gay beach in New York City since the 1940s. She captioned the pic:
“Illuminaughty at the beach.“
Liu describes herself as “a bilingual, classically trained, first generation Chinese American actress who brings her identity as a migrant queer person of the API diaspora into art and entertainment.”
Liu also shared the video below from her “gaycation” where she crab-crawled down a rock in a green bikini top at Joshua Tree…
Sunnyside airs Thursdays at 9:30 pm on NBC, right after the new musical sitcom Perfect Harmony at 9 pm, and right before Law & Order: Special Victims Unit at 10 pm.
