Star Awards 2025: The most viral celeb posts

Emotional wins, uncontrollable tears, and somewhere in the chaos, Chow Yun Fat wrangling half the celeb audience into his legendary selfie — Star Awards 2025 had it all. 

Celebs posted their best (and funniest) moments: dramatic poses, photobombs (we’re looking at you, Romeo Tan), and enough behind-the-scenes drama to keep your group chat alive for weeks. If you thought the show was wild on TV, just wait till you see what escaped the celebs’ photo galleries.

The most viral celeb posts from Star Awards 2025

1. Is everyone swearing on national TV?

Legendary star Chow Yun Fat’s guest appearance at Star Awards 2025 had everyone on their best behaviour — except, apparently, their pronunciation. 

Out of respect, every mention of his name came with a hearty “Fa-ge” (meaning “Big Brother Fat”), but to Joel Choo’s ears, it sounded hilariously close to a swear word. 

The actor posted a video on TikTok of stars saying “Fa-ge” and cheekily asking, “Why did they keep swearing on national TV?”

His deadpan delivery and the night’s accidental linguistic comedy turned this running gag into a hit, with fans in stitches over the unintentional chaos. 

2. Chow Yun Fat’s wefie

When Chow Yun Fat called the veteran stars on stage for a wefie at Star Awards 2025, the local celebs SCRAMBLED. 

In one smooth move, he stretched his arm out, rallied a crowd of starstruck stars, and snapped a shot that somehow fit everyone in (no selfie stick required). 

The result? A feed-flooding shot packed with grins, peace signs, and at least someone (ahem, Guo Liang) clearly not ready for the shutter. If anyone ever doubted the Hong Kong star’s legendary status, this photo — and everyone vying to squeeze in — settled it once and for all.

3. Fann Wong’s sweet dedication to Christopher Lee

Fann Wong’s heartfelt Instagram post summed up the mood of the night: “My hero did it again! Beyond proud watching my husband take home not one, not two, but THREE awards tonight at the Star Awards. Celebrating you always, love.”

So, what did Christopher Lee win at Star Awards 2025? Here’s the full rundown of his triumphant night:

• Best Actor for his performance in Kill Sera Sera
• Special Achievement Award 
• Best Programme Host for Dishing With Chris Lee S2

To top it off, his show Dishing With Chris Lee S2 also clinched Best Entertainment Programme, making his night even more memorable. Fann’s proud tribute captured the joy and admiration shared by fans and fellow celebrities as Chris swept the awards and stole the show. 

4. Tyler Ten, Zhang Zetong & Tasha Low’s cute Tiktok trend video

Star Awards 2025 wasn’t just about trophies and speeches — it was also about stars letting loose and having a little fun. 

Tyler Ten, Zhang Zetong, and Tasha Low hopped on a viral TikTok trend set to Kendrick Lamar’s infectious track “peekaboo”, but with a cute cat twist. 

5. City Beat reunion

The Star Awards 2025 served up a nostalgia bomb with a surprise City Beat reunion that had fans and celebs buzzing. Seeing Sharon Au, Kym Ng, and Bryan Wong — the original dream team of 90s variety TV — back together on stage was a rare treat for longtime fans. 

The reunion post quickly lit up social feeds, with fans flooding the comments to celebrate their favourite TV memories and spot familiar faces.

6. Pan Lingling, Huang Shinan, Dennis Chew and Aileen Tan’s pictures with the red carpet even before the event started

Before the first flashbulb even went off at Star Awards 2025, Pan Lingling, Huang Shinan, Dennis Chew and Aileen Tan were already striking poses on the red carpet — proving that when it comes to glamming up, these veterans are always ahead of the game. 

Their pre-event photos captured a rare moment of calm before the evening’s frenzy, with the iconic walkway still pristine and empty behind them.

We can’t help but wonder just how early they arrived, especially considering that some diehard fans reportedly started lining up at the red carpet more than eight hours before the show even began.

7. Romeo Tan photobombing Xu Bin and Chow Yun Fat’s selfie

Romeo Tan brought his signature mischief to Star Awards 2025, sliding into Xu Bin and Chow Yun Fat’s selfie with a grin and later posting, “Thanks Xu Bin for letting me photobomb… Even though you didn’t.”

8. Richard Low playing a prank on sleeping Zhu Houren

Besides the glitz and glamour, there was plenty of backstage mischief too. In one of the night’s funniest clips, Richard Low was caught twisting a tissue while Zhu Houren dozed off in the background. 

Despite Chen Shucheng’s valiant (and repeatedly futile) attempts to stop the prank, Richard went ahead and poked Houren’s nose with the tissue.

The veteran actor woke up, scratching his nose in confusion while the room dissolved into laughter. As the video ended, Shucheng could only shrug and admit, “I couldn’t help you”.
