I’m Just an Actor

He's an actor who stands out as a true oddity in the entertainment industry.

He started out as a young Taoist boy on Qingcheng Mountain before entering show business.

Other actors have countless fans and shining public images.

He, solemn and majestic, created the entire Heavenly Court and held up the whole Western Paradise.

His image was printed on the Heaven and Earth Bank's Heaven and Earth Pass, framed and used as a door god, and hung above Buddhist altars.

But in reality, he's a real person.

He's Lin Xian, nothing more than an ordinary actor...

Reporter: When I interviewed him, I nearly fell to my knees the moment I saw him.

But Lin Xian was helpless: I'm just an actor. Why show me such respect?

When people ask whether immortals really exist in this world,

he just smiles, pats them on the head, and says, “Believe in science. How could there be immortals in this world? I just acted the part a little too convincingly.”

Then, in a place where no one can see, he leaps off a 300-meter cliff.
