Phoenix Nirvana star served as Fan Bingbing's (naked) body double in 'Lost in Beijing'

Diligent netizens have exposed a six year long scandalous coverup: Fan Bingbing wasn't actually naked in 'Lost in Beijing'. 

In a sex scene between 'Big' Tony Leung (as opposed to 'Little' Tony Leung of 'Lust, Caution' fame) and Fan Bingbing, Fan's body is actually portrated by Gan Lu, an actress who recently gained popular acclaim for her role in TV show 'Phoenix Nirvana'. 

Gan, who was reportedly a drama student at the time, does bear a great resemblance to Fan, and the role was reportedly something of a breakout one for her, like when Joey served as Al Pacino's butt-double in 'Friends'.

Don't worry Fan, you'll always have a place in our hearts for your utterly forgettable, pointless cameo in the Chinese edition of 'Iron Man 3'
