Aimee Chan Yan-mei (born 1 April 1981, Traditional Chinese: 陳茵媺) is a Canadian actress who works predominantly in Hong Kong. After winning the title of Miss Hong Kong in 2006, she secured a contract with TVB.
Early life
Chan was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, to parents who emigrated from Hong Kong. She started her modeling career at the age of 16. She completed her studies at Woodbridge College and later graduated from the Ontario College of Art & Design at 23 years old. Initially pursuing a career as a graphic designer, she eventually transitioned into modeling competitions. In 2005, she made the move to Hong Kong.
Career
In 2004, Chan participated in the Miss Chinese Toronto Pageant but did not achieve placement. Before returning to Hong Kong for the Miss Hong Kong Pageant in 2006, she worked as a host for Toronto’s What's On TV show on Fairchild Television. After advancing through various rounds and training sessions, she was crowned winner on 12 August 2006. Alongside the main title, she also received the audience favorite and Miss International Goodwill awards despite circulating rumors regarding cosmetic procedures.
Although originally intended to represent Hong Kong at Miss World 2006, she was replaced by first runner-up Janet Chow due to age eligibility rules. In January 2007, she competed in the Miss Chinese International 2007, where she ranked within the top 10 but did not make it to the final five.
Following her success at Miss Hong Kong, TVB offered Chan acting roles and opportunities to host major events. She expressed ambitions to create her own design brand. Her acting career flourished with notable performances in television dramas such as Best Selling Secrets, which earned her a nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Additionally, she won the Most Improved Actress award for her roles in Burning Flame III, Off Pedder, and E.U.. Chan also appeared alongside prominent actors Bowie Lam and Bosco Wong in Every Move You Make.
Personal life
In June 2013, Chan wed fellow actor Moses Chan. The couple has three children: two sons, Aiden Joshua Chan born in December 2013 and Nathan Lucas Chan born in February 2015, as well as a daughter named Camilla Chan born in April 2016.
