Some celebs have lucky colours, Ayden Sng, 29, has lucky snakes to thank for his maiden Star Awards win.

The actor was one of three stars to win the inaugural Most Popular Rising Star award, which is open to artistes who have been in the business for five years or less. The other two winners are Best Actor winner Richie Koh and YES 933 DJ Gao Mei Gui.

In an interview with 8days.sg backstage, Ayden shared that he is born in the Year of the Rooster, which apparently has the worst luck of the 12 Chinese zodiac signs this year. To improve his luck, he was advised to wear ox or snake items, which are his lucky symbols.

Which is why he went all out to adorn his Star Awards outfits with all sorts of snake-themed jewellery.

In total, he wore six serpent jewellery pieces from Bulgari – a brand known for its Serpenti collection - three with each outfit.

The total price tag of his sponsored bling? More than one million dollars.

“I have been working with Bulgari for the past three years. And just nice this year, I am supposed to carry a serpent with me, so it works great. I picked these clothes and jewellery and styled myself. I felt good wearing them. I think the whole ensemble and my lucky serpent made me feel filled with positive energy,” said Ayden.

He needs all the luck he can get 

So positive that he was able to “manifest his Most Popular Rising Star win”.

“Before I went on stage, I held Desmond Ng’s hand and I said, ‘I need to manifest this’ and I just told him I could feel the universe telling me that my name would be the first one to be called and it really happened, so I have my lucky serpents to thank,” he shared excitedly.

And since his wish came true, Ayden decided he would, um, manifest for Desmond too.

“Before they announced the winners for the Top 10 Most Popular Male Artiste award, Desmond asked me when he was going to get an award, I told him his name would be either the fourth or fifth one to be called. After the fourth name was called, I told him it was going to be his turn and he went on stage!”

Faster than you could say Expecto Patronum, Ayden seemed to read our minds (wait, maybe he does manifest better than we think). “You would think that someone who is so well educated wouldn’t believe in these things,” he mused.

“But I think contrastingly that’s why you need to believe them ‘cos it can allow you to have lady luck on your side. In this industry, there are so many variables that you cannot control, luck is such an important thing.”

One might then say Desmond Ng is quite lucky to be good friends with Ayden?
