The term “old is gold” comes into play for sexy actress Rabecca Nur Al-Islam as the 23-year-old bombshell seems to have an affinity for older men.

Her preference for older men speaks for itself after she revealed her Mr Right, a divorcee who is more than twice her age.

“I like my man to be mature, not overly sociable, stable and also he has to be serious in all his pursuits.

“Nobody in perfect but I believe he is the perfect one for me,” she said, referring to her current beau or soon-to-be husband who is a lawyer with two kids aged 13 and seven.
 
The beautiful lass who is of mixed parentage with Indonesian, Arab, Malay and Chinese in her bloodline, also disclosed that she had met unmarried older men in the past but things did not work out as they were all either too sociable or immature for her.
 
“I can’t stand men who are shallow and who don’t plan for their future,” the Johor Baru-born actress said.
 
Becca, as she is also fondly known amongst her peers, said that the first question she had asked her husband-to-be before they moved up to the next level was why he remained single for such a long time after his divorce.

"He told me that he was traumatised from his bitter experience with women but things changed for him after he found me,” she told The Daily Chili.

Being beautiful and well-known does have its setbacks too.

One of them was when Rabecca was told by her man that she was too beautiful for a plain Joe like him.
 
“It took a while for him to get used to the attention when we went out as people would look our way because of my familiar face,” she said.

She sounded almost pleased that her man did not know she was an actress when they first knew each other.

“He was initially surprised to learn that I’m an actress but I guess he’s learnt to live with it,” laughed Rabecca.
 
On their huge age gap, she said that her man did not mind the least as they could reach each other on all levels.

“Looks come second in my books as the most important thing is that he is a nice person, sincere and accepts my family like his own,” added the actress who is the adopted mother to 18-month-old Nor Adam Daniel.
 
Asked when her big day would be, she bashfully said: “Well, if it was up to me, then the sooner the better.

“But with him being a divorcee and everything, there are many things to consider.

“The perfect time would be during the school holidays as that’s when his two kids are free to be part of the wedding,” said the International School of Jakarta fashion design graduate.

The actress is currently shooting for an upcoming Malay drama produced by Metrowealth International Group (MIG) called “Jangan Tegur Lagi.”
