“Angelababy是嘉賓陣容中的驚喜之選。之前很多人認為她只是長相甜美、身材性感的女星，但現在看來，她還是個有勇氣有擔當的女超人。”《跑男》的總制片人俞杭英如是說。
在接受騰訊娛樂的采訪時，Angelababy稱（現實中的）自己其實就像《跑男》中壹樣，是個假小子。她工作之余最大的愛好就是宅在家中打《英雄聯盟》之類的遊戲。不過，在《微愛》中出演男主的陳赫在優酷的脫口秀節目中爆料，Angelababy至今還是個大菜鳥。
自從十年前真人秀節目在中國走紅以來，觀眾們越來越青睞那些不做作、接地氣的明星們。不管Angelababy（現在的表現）只是為了迎合觀眾，還是堅持本色，有壹點是毋庸置疑的，那就是她這種女漢子的性格深得粉絲們的心。
原文不全，該作如下：
As the only regular female on the show, the nymph-like Angelababy competes in difficult tasks against male competitors. In one game she's required to wrestle with men, and in another she must crawl through a pit of mud. She goes all out to complete the missions and score a win, paying little attention to how she appears on the screen. She appears in the show without any makeup on several occasions. Her exaggerated facial expressions and gestures, despite not being becoming of a goddess, endear audiences.
"Angelababy was a surprise choice for our cast. She may have been a sweet cover girl and sexy heroine before, but now she is a superwoman with guts and responsibility," Running Man's chief producer Yu Hangying told Sina.
In an interview with Tencent Entertainment, the actress revealed she's actually a tomboy, just as we see on Running Man. Her favorite thing to do outside of work is to stay home and play games like League of Legends, though co-star Chen He said on a Youku talk show that Angelababy is still a total noob.
As reality shows have been popular for China now for a decade, perhaps audiences are more willing to warm up to stars that aren't otherworldly but instead exhibit genuine character and a down-to-earth personality. Whether she's simply catering to her audience or being true to herself, one thing is for sure — Angelababy's tough-girl schtick is being well-received by fans.
