Rebecca Zhu's Transformation

​

Rebecca Zhu (朱晨麗) was noted for having a square jaw when she was still competing in the 2011 Miss Hong Kong pageant. Although praised for her beauty at the time, Rebecca apparently was dissatisfied with her own looks, notably slimming down her jawline in recent months. Rebecca’s new face is so shockingly different that even her own TVB colleagues cannot recognize her!

In late 2011, Fala Chen (陳法拉) turned down an offer to star in 2012 anniversary drama Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles <名媛望族>, and Rebecca was cast to take her place. Rebecca subsequently starred in Triumph in the Skies 2 <衝上雲霄II> and Always and Ever <情逆三世緣>, both currently airing on TVB Jade.

Now a rising TVB fadan, observers noticed that not only has Rebecca’s status as an actress has changed, but also her looks. At recent promotional events, Rebecca was seen sporting a narrower jaw and larger eyes. Her facial features have become much sharper, and her physical resemblance to Fala Chen is uncanny.

Rebecca herself also admitted that she sees Fala to be her target of success. A source allegedly close to Rebecca revealed, “Rebecca says both she and Fala are from beauty pageants. Fala’s career is a success so of course Rebecca wants to follow her footsteps! When she heard that Fala won’t be renewing her contract with TVB, she was so happy! She always wanted to be the second Fala.”

TVB Stars Don’t Recognize Rebecca Zhu

Rebecca’s features have changed so much, even her colleagues cannot recognize her! Ron Ng (吳卓羲), Rebecca’s costar in Silver Spoon, Sterilng Shackles, was at a loss when the reporters showed him a recent photo of Rebecca. Ron said,“This girl… don’t know her. Who is she?” When prompted that Ron had starred with Rebecca in Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles, Ron said, “I seriously don’t recognize her… well then… she’s still a pretty girl!”

Rebecca’s other TVB colleagues, such as Lai Lok Yi (黎諾懿), Priscilla Wong (黃翠如), Raymond Wong (黃浩然), and Him Law (羅仲謙), also had trouble recognizing her. When handed Rebecca’s photo with her new face, Lok Yi said, “Who is she? It’s so hard to guess, just tell me!”

Priscilla said, “Uh… well, I can still recognize her eyes, but as for the other [features]… not really.”

Raymond Wong said flat out, “I don’t know her!” When told that it was Rebecca in the photo, he said, “Oh! Maybe it’s just the quality of the picture! Still quite pretty!”

Him Law said, “Don’t know her!” When prompted that it was his former costar, Him said, “Hm… Rebecca Zhu?”

Rebecca Zhu Responds

When asked about her slimmer jawline, Rebecca said, “I’ve been on a diet. I’ve gotten a lot skinner, and even my friends have been saying that I’ve been looking a lot skinnier! However, my mom says I’m too skinny. She doesn’t want me to keep my diet!”

Even skinnier than when she was competing for Miss Hong Kong? “I can’t say I’m skinnier than when I was still in the pageant. I guess it’s because I haven’t been exercising as much as I used to. I lost some muscle, so I appear skinnier!”
Asked for tips on how to slim just the face, Rebecca said, “My whole body has gotten smaller, not just my face! I really am mindful of what I eat and drink now. When eating hot pot with others, I just eat the vegetables!”

Did Rebecca feel that her slimmer face got her more job offers? She replied, “Thanks to my company and the producers for giving me so many opportunities!”

Rebecca did not care that her new face would spur plastic surgery rumors, “I’m very happy to hear compliments on my looks, but I will not care about the gossip!” Would she consider plastic surgery in the future? “Maybe I will consider it when I’m older, but now, it’s not necessary!”

Noting that she was looking more and more like Fala Chen, Rebecca smiled, “It’s good to look like Fala. She’s so pretty and a good actress! She is my target!”
