Golden Horse Awards 62: Fan Bingbing Breaks Silence After Winning Best Actress, Shares Selfies and Says She’s “Happily Devoured Three Hairy Crabs”

Taipei, 23rd — Fan Bingbing, 44, won Best Actress at the 62nd Golden Horse Awards for her role in Chong Keat Aun’s Malaysian film The Mother. Although she was not present at the ceremony, she shared her emotional acceptance speech via phone. Early this morning, she posted her first update after winning — a selfie alongside photos of hairy crabs — saying that after replying to more than 600 congratulatory messages from friends, she “happily devoured three hairy crabs,” adding, “I feel a bit happy, and a bit overwhelmed.”

In the photos, Fan Bingbing appears with her long hair down and minimal makeup, her eyes slightly puffy, yet still radiant. Fans excitedly filled the comments: “You will always be the Best Actress in my heart!” “Unbreakable vitality!” “This is your blessing!” Some even confessed, “I burst into tears and used half a pack of tissues when I heard your name!”

Fan previously won Best Supporting Actress at the 2007 Golden Horse Awards for The Matrimony and competed for Best Actress in 2016 with I Am Not Madame Bovary. This time, she claimed her first Best Actress title with The Mother. Director Chong Keat Aun called her live on stage after receiving the award on her behalf, leaving Fan in tears as she expressed gratitude to the Golden Horse committee and the director’s unwavering trust.

She later shared her thoughts with Malaysian media, saying emotionally: “There are a thousand ways for a flower to bloom. Good work will eventually be seen.” She also thanked the director and the entire The Mother crew for giving her this opportunity to once again hold the Golden Horse trophy.
