He remembered hearing “No” and “You don’t fit the bill” multiple times before receiving the opportunity to audition. Vivian explained how his confidence was broken after receiving so many rejections, but emphasised, “It is important that confidence gets shattered. Ups and downs are important because life is not constant.”
