Jimmy Lin

[ladycoco]

somehow i think that Lin Baba is a man of principles. from his interviews he comes across as a kind elderly gentleman and a loving but strict father. he wouldn't let his kids step out of line. and jimmy respects his dad. i just simply can't believe Lin Baba would lie for his son even if jimmy asked him to. Lin Baba said he saw kelly 2 months ago and she wasn't even pregnant. he didn't have to say this. he could've just say that he didn't know if the rumor is true or not.

I only knew that he's an ambitious person, coz he couldn't survive in showbiz, he wanted Jimmy to fulfill his dream. I feel that Jimmy still in showbiz because of him. Maybe its a deal between them, if Jimmy wanted to race, he must not leave showbiz. He's so proud of Jimmy. Well, this is my personal opinion after watchhing the interview with Jimmy & his dad. He talked a lot, more than Jimmy

Hmm. i wouldn't put it that way... a deal? Lin Ba is concerned about jimmy's safety. that's why he doesn't want jimmy to race. he wants jimmy to get married and settle down. i guess he thinks jimmy will stop racing if he is married with kids.

the fulfilling his dream part is true though. he's indeed very proud of his son. he does talk a lot. jimmy comes across as a quiet person. in the interviews of 2+ people he is the quiet one. he left all the talking to the others. of course, in his own interview he has to talk.

i just wish jimmy will continue to race car/powerboat so i can follow his news. so proud of him as a prof racer.

hahaha...yeah..a deal between stubborn son & ambitious father . I remember one of taiwan famous TV host, always say the same thing to Jimmy. if you are my son, I wouldnt let you race.. just look at your face..so good looking... (i think it was in the year of legendary sibling, go for a walk & 2006....so he did say the same thing for 3 times ). Jimmy's father will think that way too... this type of face, should be in showbiz... , I agree!!

[viv1010]

... but now it seems to be a fact that jimmy is in deed a dad. i think he's only guilty of not formally releasing a statement to deny it. C'mon. how hard is it to tape a vid statement. this rumor is getting out of hand. thankfully, some fans said that he'll be back in taiwan tomorrow.

But the concert is in Nov. if the rumor is true he might as well cancel the concert since no young fans want to chase after a 'dad'. Look at Nic Tze. Everyone says he's a true man but his fame dimmed after he got married and had a son.

.....when a rumor is not addressed, after awhile, people will take gossips/rumors to be true. I wished Jimmy understands that and give an interview of some sort to clarify this mess! It's really getting out of hand and very bad publicity for his image.

To the "fan"'s feelings toward a "married man" or a "dad" idol: C'mon! this is the 21st century! Be open minded! Celebrities are people too! They also should have a life, family and kids like everyone else! I wished Jimmy and all the Asian celebrities have it easy like the American celebrities.

somehow i think that Lin Baba is a man of principles. from his interviews he comes across as a kind elderly gentleman and a loving but strict father. ....... and jimmy respects his dad. i just simply can't believe Lin Baba would lie for his son even if jimmy asked him to.

I agreed with you Ladycoco, I think Lin Baba is a man of principle. If he did lied for Jimmy, I think it is because he felt that Jimmy's been pushed to the edge, and he is trying to protect him. Might not be right, but Lin Baba too is a father.

I don't think Lin Baba put pressure on Jimmy to be in or to stay in showbiz. Jimmy & Lin Baba have both in various interview said that Lin Baba did not pressure his kids to approach a certain career, although Lin Baba did disapprove of Jimmy's racing as he is concern about Jimmy's safety. However, it is true that Lin Baba is very proud of Jimmy's sucesses in not just showbiz but also his various careers/businesses/investments.

I agreed with you Ladycoco. Old people usually talk a lot, especially if it is about their children and their sucesses. My dad usaully do most of the talking when I am with him among other people, and he wasn't even talking about me! I'm sure most people are that way.

I think Jimmy is quite ambitious himself! What talk show was that?

[keroro33]

What talk show was that?

which one? I'm very sleepy...
Sick of those news...

[viv1010]

which one? I'm very sleepy...

I don't know which one that was. It was the one you mentioned earlier to Ladycoco. Anyway, it doesn't matter.

And yeh, I'm sick of this stupid rumor/gossip as well.

So, our kero has finally drained her battery? Go to sleep and have a good night!

I've been following this forum for awhile, but I can't help but make a post as well, especially with the rumors re-surfacing itself again about him becoming a father/husband. I think the media in Asia is probably upset that he has choosen not to respond to the current rumor and is going about his own business in U.S. And since there is no response and the media doesn't want the news to die, they are re-circulating the news again to the headlines probably knowing that Jimmy is going to return to Asia in the next few days since Jimmy's Dad did mention he was returning in the beginning part of October. When you read the articles, there isn't anything new, they are simply re-wording the same info they obtained back in September when this rumor first came about. Honestly, whether Jimmy informs the public about his personal business is truly his business. I understand he is a public figure, but they are people just like us and like their private life to remain private. But either way, I'm sure when he returns to Asia, he is going to get swarmed with the media, so I sure hope he has prepared a statement for himself. Hope he realizes whether he wants to face it, he's going to have to respond when he returns home. I think this rumor surfacing while he was in the U.S. probably is a blessing b/c it gives more time for him to handle the rumor properly w/o damaging his, Kelly Chen's, or his family's image.

And I agree that if this happened to an American celebrity, it wouldn't have been blown to this level and fans would have just shrugged it off as "okay, so what's wrong?". The guy is almost 35 years old and he isn't getting any younger. Time to start a family with whoever he chooses. I started being a fan of his when he first came out and I was 8 years old and I'm now married and ready to start a family, so him starting one shouldn't be a surprise at all.

Just an opinion. Also love this forum, you guys post up the most awesome pictures especially the BTS for My Lucky Star. And too bad I didn't randomly run into him when he was San Francisco in early/mid-September visiting his Godfather. *sigh*

Hi plee.mar! Welcome to the forum! I think you are right about the media trying to re-circulate the rumor for Jimmy to come go back to Asia to face. Gosh, I hope they won't make him so mad that he looses his temper! Cuz' I would have!

You probably have "randomly" ran into Jimmy and didn't know it, coz' he has his cap pulled low over his face!

[ladycoco]

plee.mar, welcome to our lit group. i totally agree with u that the media is simply re-circulating the same news since he didn't release a statement after the baby news first surfaced. now they want to force him to come out of hiding and face the media. but it's puzzling why he chose to remain silent in the middle of the storm. his upcoming press conf will be very interesting. everyone is waiting to hear what he has to say, one way or another.

[ladycoco]

.....when a rumor is not addressed, after awhile, people will take gossips/rumors to be true. I wished Jimmy understands that and give an interview of some sort to clarify this mess! It's really getting out of hand and very bad publicity for his image.

this is exactly what i dont get it. why did he let this get out of hand.

I agreed with you Ladycoco, I think Lin Baba is a man of principle. If he did lied for Jimmy, I think it is because he felt that Jimmy's been pushed to the edge, and he is trying to protect him. Might not be right, but Lin Baba too is a father.

i still think Lin Ba will never lie for him. it'll be everything against what he said b4. i remember in 1 interview when jimmy was still in his teens. jimmy stayed out one night with friends. LinBa said he had a serious talk with jimmy. He himself never spent the night out to set an example for his kids and he expected jimmy to do the same.

However, it is true that Lin Baba is very proud of Jimmy's sucesses in not just showbiz but also his various careers/businesses/investments.

I think this is an understatement.

I think Jimmy is quite ambitious himself! What talk show was that?

yep, he is very ambitious himself. i don't think there are enu hours in a day for him. he once said that sleeping is a waste of time. he only sleeps about 4 hrs a day. he has too much to do. every 3 yrs he doesn't want to look back to see the same jimmy lin. he wants to have accomplished something new. he is pushing himself too hard.

i know of just 1 tv interview in 2006 when he was promoting his new album. of course he talked about his racing and the male host said that if he has a son as good-looking he'd never let him race car. i have the file but it's not on youtube. i can ul it to rayfile.

haha. i also found this vid of jimmy and Lin Ba when he was 23. Lin Ba didn't want him to race car
the link doesn't work. i'll have to ul it to youtube.

[viv1010]

..... his upcoming press conf will be very interesting. everyone is waiting to hear what he has to say, one way or another.

Is there a date set-up for the press conf? 10/10, the Taiwan National holiday is coming up. I'm sure Jimmy will be back home in Taiwan then, right?

never say never! every father wants to be a good example to his kids, but Lin Baba did divorced Jimmy's mother. But, I will have to say, Lin Baba seems like a man of his word. So, we will see.

If, you don't mind, I would like to start building my JL file again! And Ladycoco, you are a gem! full of resouces and info on our JL!

btw, I am still trying to dl eps 5 of Feng Chen Wu Die (风尘舞蝶), but rayfile has been down or smt. and I have grown to love rayfile when it works, I can queue up files for dl, so convenient!

true. he did divorce jimmy's mom. wonder why. i guess that's none of our business.

i believe rayfile allows only 1 ul/dl for free acct (like mine). i am ul'ing the talkshow now so u can't dl.

[ladycoco]

no news yet. i am sure the media will force him to make a public appearance. let's hope it's on his terms.

BTW, i think the Sentiment of China show that he taped on 2009-09-06 at the Bird's Nest will air this weekend, sat and sun on CCTV4.

here you go, the talkshow in 2006.
at 14:01 the host said if he had a son so good-looking he wouldn't let him race car.
at 42:17 he showed off his famous cell phone that can remotely control 100+ appliances in his house. he briefly talked about his IT company that does environmental control.

Oops. i think ep 5 has expired. i've to re-ul it later tonite.

[viv1010]

oh Ladycoco, thank you so, so much! I need to find time to go over the pages again to find stuff to download and built a new JL file.

[viv1010]

Ladycoco, thank you for the ul. I will dl tonight.

There are always 2 sides to a story. I'm sure both somehow contributed to the break up of the marriage. But that is history now, and it's really not our business. I have no interest brown nosing into this personal matter.

[ladycoco]

viv1010, here u go. the server was down and i thought the ul didn't go thru so i ul'ed again. so u have 2 copies to choose from. again i dont know how long this'll stay on the server.

Hi everyone!I'm pretty new here but I have been reading this thread for almost 2 months now. I just happen to stumble on this site. I was a fan of JL since Amazing Twins was aired here in the Phililippines, too bad many people here dont recognize him that much,anyways, I just finished watching MLS and i loved it! wish he would make another pop idol series, he's great with everything! I'm just a bit saddened of the news circulating that he has a kid already with that Kelly Chen.. We just need to wait for his statement! Hoping to be friends with you guys.
