Xian Lim is the choice of the majority for our 2013 Coverguy of the Year for his Chalk cover last October. He bested 7 other finalists in Starmometer’s sixth annual poll for the most swoon-worthy magazine cover by a local male celebrity.
It was a very tight race between Xian Lim and Matteo Guidicelli for the title. The “Galema” actor took the lead from Xian on Monday morning, December 30, the last day of voting. But as the poll came to a conclusion at midnight, Xian reclaimed the lead and became Starmometer’s Coverguy of the Year for the second time. The “Bride for Rent” actor first captured the title in 2011.
The difference between Xian and Matteo’s votes is only 126 and it was very close! Xian got a total of 99,547 votes while Matteo garnered 99,421 votes.
