Fir The Win
8 Days
|April 20, 2017
FIR RAHMAN, the breakout star of The Apprentice, Boo Junfeng’s award-winning prison drama movie, tells us how he went from being somebody who “didn’t even know what a feature film was” to hobnobbing at the Cannes.
Fir Rahman arrives very early for our interview at the Mediacorp campus. We find him standing in a dark corner somewhere in the building, typing furiously on his iPhone. “Oh, sorry, I was Instagramming lah!” he exclaims sheepishly when he spots us. After all, @fir_rahman has some 16K followers on Instagram to update. He seems incredibly relaxed, even though he has a long day of rehearsals for his new play Hope ahead of him. So chill is Fir, even his denim shirt is embroidered with the phrase, ‘Make Pizza Not War’. The actor has just returned from the Asian Film Awards ceremony in Hongkong, where he was nominated for the Best Newcomer Award for playing a conflicted prison officer in local auteur Boo Junfeng’s critically acclaimed film The Apprentice. It’s the first time a Singaporean actor has been nominated in that category in the history of the awards.
8 DAYS: Congrats on your nomination! Even though you didn’t bag the trophy, we’re still really proud of you.
