Jack Lim is a Malaysian who first rose to fame by being a MY FM DJ, where he had a segment with his co-host, Gan Mei Yan, and played the role of Ah Beng. Now, Jack is not only an actor, but directs feature-length films as well, and manages a steamboat restaurant with what extra time he has. With his latest, "Ah Beng The Movie: Three Wishes" looming around the corner, Jack has been holding roadshows all over Malaysia as part of the promotional activities, but fortunately he has time to spare for a Cinema Online interview where he revealed his feelings about his work and principles. Cinema Online interview with Jack Lim was conducted recently at his restaurant at The Scott Garden, Old Klang Road, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. Q: So tell us, what is it like to juggle between three jobs: a DJ, an actor and a restaurant manager? Jack: Boy it is no easy task, I can tell you that! But I get by because of my wife. She's my manager, and she manages everything in my life, from my meals to my jobs to my leisure time. Last year, she told me I worked a total of 600 jobs, which goes to show that she know how to accept jobs that she knows I can do. Usually my routine would be to wake up around 4 in the morning, then go to work till about 2 or 3 the next morning, then come home, take a quick shower and nap, then 2, 3 hours later, I'm up and it's the same thing all over. Some weeks, I slept less than 10 hours total. It can't be helped though, because I love money more than sleep! Q: What inspired you to film "Ah Being The Movie: Three Wishes"? Jack: I wanted to make a family film for Chinese New Year, like how they make films for Hari Raya. Chinese New Year is a very important event for me. I come from Ipoh, so during my schooling years in Kuala Lumpur, I was always very excited during the car ride back to Ipoh. I would ask my father repeatedly, "Are we there yet?" So this movie is sort of a tribute to that. I want people to feel the same excitement for this movie as they do for Chinese New Year, by anticipating the return of my Ah Being character, or the fact that it's very family-oriented so they can have something to watch with their family. Q: What is the most memorable event that happened to you during the filming of the movie? Jack: The most memorable event would be the number of accidents we had had during the filming. All of us were somehow involved in a car accident despite the number of precautions we took, and some of it weren't even related to the movie directly! The funny thing is, when I told the crew to learn from my driver, the next day, my driver was the one who got into an accident! The worse has got to be when one of us crashed into four cars at once. That took a lot out of the budget.
