Graceful and poised, Rebecca Lim radiates the glow of a new mum (she gave birth to her son on 30 January 2024). I tell her she looks fantastic, but in typical self-deprecating Asian fashion, the 37-year-old replies, "You haven't seen me with my jacket off!" Despite her attempts at denying the fact, the Star Awards' All-Time Favourite Artiste looks unequivocally like the A-list actress that she is, dressed in Tod's, Prada and Bottega Veneta for this shoot. Rebecca, or Becks as she's known by her fans, is appreciative of days like this when she gets to relive her fast-paced, high-energy life as Mediacorp's leading actress.
It feels comfortable and familiar, compared to the rapid-fire series of life-altering events in the last three years.
She got engaged just after a few months of courtship, tied the knot a year later, mourned the passing of her beloved father, and announced her pregnancy a few short months after. "It's been a rollercoaster. I think I'm coping much better these days, but it wasn't always like that," she says.
Rebecca acknowledges that the pandemic played a role in her more spontaneous approach to life and love. As the world slowed down, she felt the need to take risks and embrace the unexpected, especially in her personal life. "Covid-19 feels like a long time ago. I feel like a lot of people have forgotten what it was like. But it definitely altered something inside me. Maybe I got a little more daring, like heck, let's try and see where this goes!" she reveals.
The Rebecca I know from a decade ago was always very measured in her responses and guarded with her personal life.
