'I hit rock bottom this year': Ryan Lian on lowest point in life, says he has only 83 cents in bank account PUBLISHED ON NOVEMBER 10, 2024 3:25 PM ByYEO SHU HUI Life is full of ups and downs, and local actor Ryan Lian would know. In an interview with Lianhe Zaobao published yesterday (Nov 9), the 37-year-old shared about how he considers 2024 the lowest point in his life, and recounted the various setbacks he had experienced this year. Among them, Ryan told Zaobao that his prior efforts in preparing for a movie had come to nought, which made him feel disheartened. In addition, a glass cabinet had toppled over at home six months ago, which left him with seven stitches on his left arm. Due to the injury, he was also forced to pull out of a drama. Faced with numerous difficulties, he admitted that he had considered committing suicide at several points this year, but was dissuaded time and again by his girlfriend and friends. On Sept 15, Ryan was apprehended by the police under Section 7 of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) Act after he allegedly opened the electronic lock of a flat at Block 93, Telok Blangah Street 31 that morning. He returned to social media in early October, appearing in a commercial, and received much encouragement and support from local artistes and netizens. While he is still unable to comment on the incident, he divulged that it was caused by hallucinations and he had stayed at the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) for five days after that. He also shared that due to his low self-esteem, he'd tried to end his relationship with his girlfriend of seven years, but she has continued to stand by him. "Even after I'd failed several times, and despite criticisms from others, she never gave up on me," said Ryan, expressing his appreciation.
