Cathy Sharon: Two lives, in Jakarta & Bali


Cathy Sharon Gasnier has it all -the looks, popularity, and talent.


Presenter and actress Cathy Sharon started her career as a model but her popularity started to rise after she landed a job as an MTV Indonesia VJ.


She soon tried her hand at different things, including running an online clothing store and acting on the big screen in Dawai 2 Asmara (String of Two Loves) and the upcoming thriller The Perfect House.




“I view Jakarta as a place where I have a life and work. When I have free time in the capital city, I usually do little things, like reading books, watching movies, television or surfing the Internet.


“When I have plenty of time, for example a weekend off, I will fly to Jimbaran, Bali, to spend time with my parents.


“I have two lives — my work life and my private life. My busy life in Jakarta makes me miss Bali. Maybe it’s because I was raised in a nice environment on the island — something which made me a real nature freak when I was a kid.


“During my childhood, I loved strolling on the beach, walking on the rocks and watching the fish with my sister [actress and model Julie Estelle] and our maid.


“I was a very imaginative little girl. I liked playing with dresses and pieces of cloth when pretending to be a singer. We also made a playhouse out of small pieces of wood and stones from the beach.


“When I go to Bali to visit my parents, I have family time with them such as eating together. After that, I will have fun on the beach.


“I don’t mind to get tan because it’s actually good for me. My skin is too white and it needs a better color. I always have to apply blush, otherwise I will look very pale and people will think I am sick.


“However, I always try to avoid sunburn during my visits to Bali because my skin can peel and I will not be able to put on makeup at all.





“I am also a movie buff. I watch different film genres, from comedies, thrillers, drama and action. Besides watching feature films, I also like to watch indie movies and French films, especially during festivals.


“Television series are also on my list. Right now, I plan to watch Friends from the first season. It’s a long way to finish because I am currently still watching the second season.


“I like watching Glee too. As I am playing in a thriller movie, I also have to watch some movies as a reference.


“There are [horror] movies that I have but have not had a chance to watch because I come home late at night after a [script] reading session. I don’t dare to watch them alone at night, so I wait for my sister, who also comes home late. When I asked her one night, she refused, saying it was nuts to watch horror movies in the middle of the night. Maybe I will watch them with my mother next time I go to Bali.”
