MANILA, Philippines – Actor-director Xian Lim has expanded his list of talents as he is now officially a private pilot.
Lim took to Instagram on Thursday, January 30, to share the news, saying that he is “still in the clouds from everything that happened.”
“More flights, more aerodromes, and more and more cross country flights to come!” Lim wrote.
In the photos, Lim is seen proudly wearing on each of his shoulders a two-stripe epaulette, which he earned at the aviation school, Top Flite Academy. He signed one of the epaulettes, dated January 29, 2025.
Lim will now work toward obtaining his commercial pilot license, which will allow him to get paid as a pilot.
The actor-director has been regularly documenting his flight school journey on his social media. In November 2024, he shared that he earned his epaulette.
He also regularly shares clips from his flights, including his first solo one.
In December 2024, his girlfriend, filmmaker Iris Lee, shared a clip from her first time riding an aircraft with Lim serving as its pilot.
Lim recently directed the Thai horror film, Kuman Thong, which premiered in July 2024. He co-wrote it alongside Lee. – Rappler.com
