However, he is famous for his ‘turtle feathers’ personality and this has stopped him from making a breakthrough. Even his rumoured girlfriend Lin Zhi Ling has stepped onto the international stage due to whereas he is unable to re-board that peak. In particular, 3 recent idol dramas all have had their eyes on him but he’s missed out again and again. Not only does he lose a pay of $5million yuan, he’s also given the opportunity to Wu Zun, Tender Huang etc.

Last year in November, at a promotional event in Japan, Jerry said: “I’ve felt like I’ve gone down, I’m not good enough.” It seems that even he himself has recognised his future career concerns. According to sources, he once considered whether to accept a drama or not for 11 whole months, and he will request to make changes to the script, even the director, other actors has to get his approval. Although he insists on perfection, his over-critical nature has actually hugely restricted him.
