Xian Lim is indeed difficult to work with, according to director Ronaldo Carballo
RONALDO CARBALLO – The director has echoed sentiments about Kapuso actor Xian Lim that he is difficult to work with.
This affirmation comes in the wake of a Facebook post by GMA scriptwriter Brylle Tabora on a lifestyle magazine feature about the actor. Tabora’s comment lamented the difficulty of working with Lim, emphasizing the negative impact on the lives of TV writers.
Carballo further reinforced this sentiment by sharing a report from a local newspaper discussing the same issue. In a strongly-worded Facebook post, Carballo affirmed the belief that Lim is indeed challenging to work with in various capacities, including acting and hosting. He even speculated that GMA7 might not renew Lim’s contract due to his alleged behavior.
According to Carballo, this stems from Lim’s lack of popularity and perceived acting inadequacy. Carballo suggested that there are many other actors who are more professional, deserving, and capable. He also criticized Lim for supposedly undermining his co-star Jennylyn Mercado in a teleserye and accused him of feeling entitled and attempting to assert control over scripts despite lacking expertise.
“HINDI NAMAN SYA SIKAT AT HINDI SYA MARUNONG UMARTE. MAS MARAMING MAS SIKAT, MAS GOOD LOOKING, AT MAS MAHUHUSAY UMARTE NA VERY PROFESSIONAL TO WORK WITH, WHO DESERVE A GOOD BREAK THAN XIAN LIM,” he said.
Carballo advised Lim to focus on improving his acting skills rather than interfering with the work of writers and directors. He emphasized the importance of respecting the authority and vision of the creative team behind a project, urging actors to fulfill their roles without overstepping boundaries.
Despite the mounting criticisms, there has been no response from Xian Lim’s camp regarding the allegations. The situation remains open-ended, with Lim’s side yet to address the accusations leveled against him. As discussions continue to circulate online, it underscores the challenges that can arise in collaborative work environments within the entertainment industry, particularly concerning issues of professionalism and interpersonal dynamics.
