HSU-PER Local
8 Days|May 03, 2018

Don't be surprised if you see Taiwanese actress and Bio-essence ambassador VIVIAN HSU, who lives in Singapore, shopping at a wet market one day.

HSU-PER Local

Vivian Hsu must have the ability to manipulate time. She’s 43 (“a secret that everyone knows,” she laughs when someone brings up her age) but is youthful looking enough to pass off as a xiao mei mei Instagrammer. It’s as if time has stood still since her days as everyone’s favourite Lolita and whose photos were fawned over by teenage boys (and their dads) across Asia back in the ’90s. Her youthful beauty was all anyone could talk about when the Taiwanese stunner glided into the ballroom at the Park Royal Pickering Hotel last week.

Vivian, who moved to Singapore after marrying Singapore-based Indonesian businessman Sean Lee, 41, in 2014, was there to promote Bio-essence’s new skincare range. She’s been the ambassador of the brand since 2009.

Up close, Vivian looks even younger — when we showed a friend the unfiltered selfie we snapped with the singer-actress, said friend commented, “Did she not age at all?” While it’s super easy to feel like a table rag next to her, Vivian, bless her soul, is the kind of star who makes you feel comfortable right from the getgo. Even her manager is friendly. When we enter the room for our interview, her manager chirps, “Oh, sit closer to Vivi! It’s more comfortable to chat that way.”
