"...The Multifaceted Persona of Becky-Rebecca Patricia Armstrong, the Rising Star Who Has Captured the Hearts of Millions of Fans..."
From a young girl who adored listening to Taylor Swift's music and dreamed of making her mark in the entertainment industry, Becky Rebecca Patricia Armstrong, has blossomed into a rising star with millions of fans following her every move. After her success in "GAP The Series," the doors of opportunities in the entertainment world have flung wide open for her, allowing her to take on a variety of roles. Becky shared with #legend_th that she remains deeply committed to pursuing her dream of becoming a singer and is passionately dedicated to her career path, regardless of the role she finds herself in.
“I still dream of becoming a singer, of having my own songs. But creating an album might take some time. I’m currently writing some songs. I enjoy listening to music that I can relate to. If I could write a song that others connect with, and they enjoy it as much as I do, that would be wonderful. At the moment, I do sing some soundtracks, but if I get the chance, I’d love to have my own concert. To be honest, I love working in every aspect of this industry. It's exciting every day, whether it's acting, modelling, or attending events. I’ve had a passion for this since I was young. Now that I have the opportunity to work, I feel really happy. Even though I sometimes put pressure on myself; I enjoy meeting new people every day and learning something new every day. It’s never boring because there’s always something exciting.

In addition to her acting skills showcased through popular series, there is also a significant public interest in the off-screen relationship between Becky and Freen Sarocha Chankimha.
"We first met during a workshop for the series Secret Crush on You. At that time, I didn’t know we would be working together, but the producers noticed some chemistry between us and decided to pair us up. This led to our next project, GAP The Series, which made us well-known. I was quite shocked as I didn’t expect it at all. We've been working together for four years now. We’ve been through every emotional moment together. Whenever we encounter problems, we help each other out, and on happy days like when we win awards, we celebrate together. Even during stressful times, we consult each other. It feels like we share responsibilities in everything. We both work a lot, so we face health issues because we tend to forget to take care of ourselves. Many times, we’ve pushed ourselves to work despite being sick, believing we could handle it, only to wind up in the hospital. This year, I’ve set a goal for myself to avoid that because everyone is concerned about us."

Though many people regard Becky as a highly successful rising star, her true self remains that of an ordinary human being with desires and needs in life just like anyone else.
"Happiness for me is going to bed without any worries. It might seem small, but it’s quite important to me. I often have a lot of thoughts before falling asleep. Sometimes, I have 'What if' thoughts, like what would have happened if I’d chosen to do something differently. I don’t want to have such thoughts since it means going to bed unhappy, forcing myself to sleep, and then waking up to repeat the cycle all over again. Like when I was filming The Loyal Pin, I would often cry by myself. I was extremely stressed and worried about the language. I did my best, but it never seemed to turn out as I had hoped. But now that it’s over, I feel relieved because it’s behind me, although there may be new things to think about. Happiness is going to bed with nothing on my mind, simply thinking, ‘Today was a good day.’ That’s all.

Becky aspires to pursue a law degree. Despite her current status and success, Becky believes she still has a lot of things to prove.
"Now, I only have an internship left to complete for my law studies, which I need to do in person. I’m trying to figure out how to do the internship in Thailand. It requires two months, which would affect my current work in the entertainment industry. It’s not feasible right now since I don’t want to leave my fans for that long. Two months is a significant amount of time. I value both my studies and my career equally, but finding the time to do both is really challenging right now. When it comes to the word 'success,' I wouldn’t give myself full marks just yet because I believe there is always room for improvement. Nothing is perfect, but I’m proud of myself for getting this far since it hasn’t been easy."
