Local Stars Take to the Streets: Rui En Chats with Chantalle on a Longboard
Heart‑to‑heart conversations with local celebs have become the hottest trend in media today. If you’ve been binge‑watching meWATCH’s Hear U Out or Channel 8’s complete 10‑episode run of The Inner Circle, you’ll know the appeal. Now the Singaporean actress Rui En is adding her own spin to the craze.
After a food‑prep collaboration with DJ Dennis Chew and a recent sit‑down with actress‑turned‑stuntwoman Chantalle Ng, Rui En posted an Instagram video that shows her cruising the streets on a longboard with the 25‑year‑old starlet.
“What a ride!”
But it’s not just about the gravel. When the wheels turned, Rui En rolled out some career‑advice for Chantalle’s upcoming role, which is a big departure from her bubbly, “blur‑blur” persona. The veteran actress pointed out that the new part demands a different process for the young talent.
Chantalle laid out her strategy: get a feel for the character’s background—particularly the childhood. “It really makes a difference,” she told the camera.
- “First, I’ll decide how I want the role to play out.”
- “Then I’ll dive into the character’s past, especially those early years.”
- “In most cases, I’ll act a few scenes to capture the essence.”
Rui En praised Chantalle’s fresh‑look mentality. “Her innocence shines through,” she said, adding, “Chantalle’s approach is straight‑forward: she wants the role, but she doesn’t spiral into over‑analysis. Keep it simple, stay authentic.”
In the same Instagram highlight, the seasoned actress stressed a key lesson for budding artists: the music industry is ripe for “opponents on a life‑or‑death battle” commentary. She criticized the urge to treat fellow female performers as rivals.
“Even in a small market like Singapore, it’s easy to get trapped in a petty, selfish mindset, but I refuse that. I’ll lift up other women instead.”
Rui En urged her younger peers, “Don’t let the industry chew you up and spit you out. Stay true to your sunny, innocent self. Remember, your older sister—me—is always here for you!”
