Mark Lee reflects on career challenges and inspiration for new film Number 2

Actor Mark Lee, 56, felt outdated in his career while filming "Wonderful! Liang Xi Mei" in 2018. He questioned his future in acting, believing he was only seen as a loud character. This led him to seek change. Lee met aspiring screenwriter Jaspers Lai during filming, who inspired him with a unique script about a drag queen. Lee suggested the script to a production company, leading to his role in "Number 1," which revitalized his career and earned him a Best Actor nomination. In his new film "Number 2," Lee's character faces challenges in the drag community. He also discussed bridging the generational gap with his children by learning their slang. "Number 2" will be released in Singapore on January 28.
