FEATURED STORIES

In September, the “Playtime” actor shared that he was fulfilling his childhood dream of becoming a pilot.

“It has always been my dream when I was a kid,” he said at the time. “There’s that certain level of respect when you meet pilots. You know, when you look up in the sky, parang [you ask yourself], how does that even work? How do they fly?”

Lim is celebrating his 15th year in show business this year. In an interview with the Philippine Daily Inquirer, he said he would want to be remembered as someone who “puts in time on improving his craft.”

“I still have a couple of things that I’m writing and directing… What’s next are more edgy, out-of-the-box roles. I like to do things that you wouldn’t expect from me. I’m not going to let go of the rom-com genre because that’s my core. I also want to do action, either a film or a series. It’s something I haven’t fully explored,” he said.
