3 years ago he moved to Taipei from his hometown in Chiayi. He quit his job as a fitness instructor to follow his dream of becoming an actor, but the path to stardom is not an easy one. He was jobless for 3 month and after spending all his savings, he had to borrow money from friends to make rent. His misfortunes did not just ended here: one time in the shower, he pulled the towel hanger down and this accident cost him 5 stitches on his eyelid. After this, he had to cancel his contract with his agent, and started a “friendly society” with several young sport-loving actors, wrote his own resume and asked his buddy Carry to send jobs his way.

However, there were still some comments on social media, saying that “we will love you no matter what size you are”. This made Adam Lin feel relieved.
