Ariel Lin (林依晨) recently attended the graduation ceremony for her masters in acting, which she obtained from a university in England. She shared tidbits of her marriage life, as well as her experience pursuing her master’s degree. As her doting fiancé Charles Lin (林于超) accompanied her on the trip, Ariel’s fans remarked that he shared a close resemblance to Hong Kong actor Nick Cheung (張家輝). Ariel laughed and said, “He does not think he looks like Nick, but both my agent and I agree with the fans’ conclusion.” Ariel added that she occasionally drinks with Charles at home, but she is an extremely light drinker. On the other hand, Charles can hold alcohol very well. She said, “My dad likes Charles because he is a good drinker.” Ariel said that Charles also had good taste in wine. Ariel further revealed that Charles often gives the impression of being sober when he is in fact drunk, “I only found out because I would realize the next day that he absolutely has no memory of what we said the day before. I realized that when he is drunk, he likes to deny being drunk.” On her thoughts about graduation, Ariel admitted that she felt a little uneasy about the master’s degree. During the year in which she was enrolled in the program, she had to frequently fly to Taiwan and China for work engagements. Nevertheless, she managed to fulfill the minimum attendance requirement, and satisfactorily complete her thesis as well as coursework. Thus, she qualified for graduation at the end of the year. Ariel expressed that it was a big relief to have completed her master’s degree, as she no longer has to worry about being recognized at the university. She said happily, “I have been very successful at keeping my profile low, as some of the students only found out that I attended the same school as them on the day of graduation!” Ariel will be holding her wedding banquet with Charles on December 24, and will subsequently participate in a film. She added that she and Charles will spend the Lunar New Year holiday in Taiwan, and her choice of future filming engagements will depend on the quality of the scripts. Creds:
