Her PA hovers close by, holding a umbrella to shield the star from the scorching sun in between takes. We figure Rebecca's uneasiness is due to our presence — her manager reminded us not to ask Becks anything about her personal life or social media. The latter we assume has to do with the fuss over how she unfollowed everyone on Instagram a month ago. (P\/S: She has since started following 42 people again, including, yes, Ian Fang.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt turns out we are being too sensitive, and Rebecca’s ashen face is attributed to her being really prone to seasickness.

(\u003cem\u003eLaughs\u003c\/em\u003e) No lah, I have very good teammates so I didn’t really feel that I had to exert that much and (the boat could) still move. But I must encourage myself.

But the excitement didn’t last extremely long 'cos about three weeks before we started [filming], I found out I was supposed to play a police coast guard. And I have severe sea sickness so that was why I was a bit nervous yet excited and apprehensive\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow apprehensive were you?\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI think the apprehension got worse after the orientation, where we had to be on a boat for a few hours. I think I started to puke about two, three hours in. I was just hoping that the days on set will be a little bit better but they weren’t. We have like a score chart among the actors and the crew to see who pukes the most. And I’m number two. The number one is the sound man. It’s been challenging physically and psychologically as well, because I have a lot of lines to say whenever I'm on the boat — a lot of very formal, technical lines — so I really had to get my mind straight whenever I felt like puking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo you take medicine for your seasickness?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYeah. I think it helps a bit psychologically. But it really doesn’t do anything.
