For actress Kim Chiu, feeling sexy isn’t just about appearances—it’s about having a strong mind and body. Kim revealed that she feels her sexiest after a good workout, which helps her stay fit and boosts her mood through the release of endorphins.
“I feel like I’m at my sexiest after a workout,” she shared during her launch as a calendar girl for a well-known Filipino liquor brand last November. “Being sexy isn’t just about having a good body; it’s about having a strong mind and body.”
Positivity and Confidence
Kim emphasized that maintaining a positive outlook is essential to achieving a “sexy mindset.”
“When you’re positive in life, you can believe anything—you’re beautiful, sexy, or great—and you’ll make it happen,” she said.
The actress described her calendar girl milestone as a “second debut,” marking her transformation into a more confident version of herself, 18 years after her victory as the Big Winner of Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition.
A Journey of Growth
Kim admitted that embracing her sexier side took time, but her love for fitness helped her strengthen both her mind and body.
“Working out makes your mind stronger,” she explained. “You think you can’t handle a 20-kilometer run, but you realize you can. It’s the same in life—when people criticize you, you think you can’t rise above it, but you can.”
Her recent role as the sultry Juliana in the TV series Linlang opened new doors for her. Kim credited the character for helping her evolve from being seen as a teen housemate to showcasing a more mature and daring side.
“People saw me as a teen housemate, but 18 years later, I’ve graduated and debuted as a calendar girl,” she said.
Gratitude for Opportunities
Kim expressed gratitude for the opportunities she continues to receive, calling them a “full circle” moment in her life.
“I’m just very lucky to experience this in my lifetime. It’s exciting and surprising for me,” she said.
