Actress Ruby Lin makes a trip to Singapore, with Vivian Hsu playing tour guide
Taiwanese actress Ruby Lin (left) and her close friend, fellow actress Vivian Hsu (left in second photo), were seen strolling near Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. Lin/Instagram Despite her celebrity status, Taiwanese actress Ruby Lin has shown she is not shy to strike the classic Merlion pose that is so beloved by tourists when she is in Singapore. In her June 7 Instagram post, the 49-year-old star and her close friend, Singapore-based Taiwanese actress Vivian Hsu, are seen taking a stroll near Marina Bay Sands. Wearing a white top and denim bottoms, Lin tilts her head backwards and angles herself so that it looks like the stream of water spouting from the iconic sculpture is going into her open mouth. Other photos capture the pair posing on a bench outside the ArtScience Museum, with Hsu, 50, wrapping her arms around Lin. In her caption, Lin joked that it was only under her 'tour guide, companion-cum-photographer and dear sister' Hsu's recommendation that she took such 'tourist photos', adding that as long as she is not embarrassed, the embarrassment will be felt only by others. Hsu, who divorced Singapore-based businessman Sean Lee in 2023, has a nine-year-old son. She revealed in November 2024 that she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer at the beginning of that year, and had undergone surgery to treat the condition. Lin tied the knot with Taiwanese actor Wallace Huo in 2016, before giving birth to their daughter in 2017. – The Straits Times/Asia News Network
