Interview with MSN Entertainment

By admin

As some have already seen, I had a recent interview with MSN Entertainment. I sat with Reta and Nicholas laughing about my past, present and future. Do take a read:

Welcome back, Sarah Lian!

The happy-go-lucky Sarah Lian is slowly, but surely, making a name for herself on the local front. MSN Entertainment sits down with the quirky Sarah as she talks to us about living her dream as an actress, emulating Emily Blunt and how she is blessing Malaysia by not singing.

What do you mean you don’t know who Sarah Lian is? You know, the Malaysian-born actress who played the Hot Asian Girl in ‘American Pie: Beta House’? Or the very same Sarah who was named Malaysia’s Most Wanted Woman by FHM in 2008? No? Well, we won’t blame you because, after all, the Canadian-raised Sarah just moved back to Malaysia. But mark our words: she will soon be one of Malaysia’s hottest stars, and you’ll be drooling over her in no time (we already are)!

The 26-year-old lass from Taiping recently starred alongside ‘The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift’ star Jason Tobin and ‘Memoirs of a Geisha’ actress Eugenia Yuan (“an honour”, according to Sarah) in an edgy psychological thriller titled ‘Jasmine’, playing an actress who becomes an object of a dangerous obsession.

While the role may propel her to instant superstardom, the pretty and very down-to-earth girl barely considers herself as a celebrity. We recently caught up with her during a small get-together hosted by, who else, Sarah herself as she talks to us about her role in the movie and her ‘addiction’ to Twitter, amongst other things.

First off: Can you tell us a little bit about your role in ‘Jasmine’?

I play a supporting lead, her name is Anna. Anna is an actress who has sort of lost her way in the moment. She has managed to let her guard down and encounters the main character, Leonard. From then on, things get weird. That’s all I gotta say, things get weird. (Laughs)

How do you feel working alongside big names stars such as Jason Tobin and Eugenia Yuan?

Oh my goodness. Honoured is one word. And then, blessed is another. I’m so grateful and I’m so honoured. I mean, these are Asian-American actors who have really put in their time and made amazing films. You know, Eugenia was in ‘Memoirs of a Geisha’ and Tobin was in ‘The Fast and the Furious’. Like, we know about these movies and now, I’m in a movie with them. I’m really proud.

How different is your role in ‘Jasmine’ than the one you had in ‘American Pie: Beta House’?

I think this character (in ‘Jasmine’) has a little bit more depth. When I talked to the director, he was telling me that it took him two years to find someone to play Anna, and the minute I walked in the door, he said, “Within two seconds, I knew you were her.”

My friends Amanda and Joyce also came by to support and shared a little about my lunch date too – check out their sites:

Even though I kept myself open to whatever the Universe sent to me, I trusted myself to make the right decisions in life. If it was not in alignment, I would be able to let things go and make peace with it. Learning how to honour myself above anyone else has given me clarity about how I want to create my future. 

I’ll admit it has been scary because sometimes I worried if I wasn’t good enough to do so. But, I knew if I wanted to level up in life, I had to pay the price. 

Find your light, find your worth.

I’m showing my double chin to the world and I would do it over and over for her kisses. 🐕

    It’s really hard to put into words what this pas It’s really hard to put into words what this past trip has meant for me. I spent nearly the entire year of 2022 working non-stop. Even when my body told me to stop, I didn’t. 
I tried my best to maximise my time with the people I care about and opted for the best experiences that were of worth and value to me. It’s been 20 years since I’ve left Vancouver and I’ve never felt more at home. This has been such a beautiful time of play, discovery and bliss. 😍

I saw this scripture during service and it was a good excerpt to anchor what I’ve been feeling over the past few months. I’m not chasing earthly possessions or the kind of clout I need from others to feel whole. I’m heading back to KL armed with a different perspective. I’m finding more peace and more joy in the little things in life. It’s a new level of exciting. 🙌🏻
