Recently, the news that Hoai Linh built a temple to worship his profession on a plot of land of about 7,000 square meters in District 9, Ho Chi Minh City at a cost of hundreds of billions of dong – paid by the comedian himself – attracted the attention of many people.

– Regarding the information that you spent hundreds of billions of dong to build a temple to worship your ancestors, what do you say?

– If I had 100 billion VND, I could easily gain 10 kg more weight.

Comedian Hoai Linh presided over the ceremony to worship the ancestors of the New Smile stage on the death anniversary of the stage ancestors 2015 (September 24, the 12th day of the 8th lunar month).

– I don’t want to mention money when carrying out a memorial project, but the fact that Hoai Linh had hundreds of billions of dong to build a temple to worship his ancestors was still discussed.

– Once upon a time, I ate a piece of beef and Duong Trieu Vu took a photo of me and posted it online.

`Buddha nature is in the mind`.

– Why did someone want to contribute money with you to complete the project but you refused?

– If anyone participates in planting trees, that’s okay, but don’t contribute money to build them.

On December 18, Hoai Linh was celebrated by his colleagues and fans for his 47th birthday when he held a press conference about the live show in early 2016.

– Where did you get the idea to build a temple to the Patriarch of Theater?

– I live a spiritual life and know clearly about temples and palaces.

– When is this project expected to be completed?

– I will notify everyone when it is finished because with a project this large, it is difficult to estimate time.

I started the project early this year.

Running the show continuously, Hoai Linh took the opportunity to sleep right on set.

– Working a lot to save money to fulfill your wishes, how is your health?

– Once work is in progress, I have to do it, I can’t do it if I don’t.

Other than my sore throat and arm, my health is normal.

– In my life, whenever I predict something, I `fail to advance`.
