Her World Singapore

GOING WITH THE FLOW

She has never been more chatty, relatable and, at times, even funny – a sharp contrast to the aloof and sometimes guarded public persona she’s known for. Perhaps, actress Rebecca Lim is just misunderstood.

She ping-pongs delightfully from topic to topic with spontaneity in an interview-call with Her World’s creative director Windy Aulia, who opens a window into her state of mind. She’s relaxed and appealingly open as she expresses her regrets and second thoughts about the choices in life.

Rebecca is in her element – and the cover girl (her third for Her World) admits she’s a homebody, though she was looking all glamorous just days before at our shoot (which took place before the circuit breaker measures kicked in). She says: “I’ve always enjoyed spending my free time at home.”

With a string of TV work and commercial partnerships under her belt, the 33-year-old is (Season 2) by HBO Asia, where she plays detective Serena Teo, along with a new role in an upcoming Channel 8 drama series. For all her successes, the two-time Star Awards’ Best Actress says she was never the “overnight wonder” or someone “blessed with natural acting talent”; just someone who works hard.
