You've got to hand it to Datuk Rosyam Nor. And please do not call the man a veteran despite being in the business for 40 years.
Congratulations to one of Malaysia's most well-known actors and businessmen. He proved that at the age of 58, he is still the man to beat in the industry.
Rosyam, who actually looked surprised when he was announced, but much to the delight of fans in the arena, was the recipient of the Hottest Viral Celebrity Award at the Hottest Melodi Awards 2025 (Anugerah Selebriti Viral Terhangat di Anugerah Melodi Terhangat 2025 - AMT2025).
While Rosyam said the victory was a major surprise for him, it was not for the fans, as they celebrated with thunderous cheers from the audience.
It all started with a dramatic scene in the sensational TV3 drama 'Keluarga Itu', which featured Rosyam Nor as a conflicted husband.
However, the most viral moment was when he adorably smacked his own lips. The scene sparked an explosion of reactions on TikTok, from parodies to reaction videos, making it one of the most talked about clips of the year.
Rosyam also touched on the extraordinary impact of the viral scene, which sparked a wave of conversation on social media, reaching 1.3 billion tweets.
This achievement is proof of how a simple but heartfelt moment of acting can transcend the screen and become a digital phenomenon, further cementing his position as a legendary figure who remains relevant.
The award is also further proof that Rosyam is not only a legend in the world of acting but also a figure who is always able to adapt to current trends and tastes.
From TV screens to phone screens, his influence remains relevant, even now, among the digital generation, who are always looking for stories that touch emotions and spark conversations.
