Sara Malakul Lane:

The Pattaya Times recently had the opportunity to interview Thai star Sara Malakul Lane, who is currently on the path to Hollywood stardom.

So far, Sara has appeared in three movies for the US market, including Belly of the Beast with Steven Seagal. Two other movies are currently in pre-production. In addition, she’s done several commercials for Budweiser, Hybrid Fuel Cell and Yanna K, a fashion campaign for an LA based designer.

Sara loves all facets of the entertainment business, but says her favorite is “being in movies.”

Sara has been compared to Charlize Theron, but won’t let that go to her head. Even though she’s living the ‘life’ in LA, she’s still behaving like a respectful Thai girl.

“I try to stay away from the ‘industry scene’ as it involves a lot of partying and all the ‘Hollywood stereotypes.’ I’ve been lucky enough to have found a niche of people who are talented, creative and humble. We steer clear of the shiny stuff,” she said.

However, Sara loves life in Hollywood. “Everyday, I feel lucky I am being creative. Everyday something wonderful happens. I am very focused. I feel lucky that I have good people behind me doing the business side: negotiating, marketing and networking. All I have to do is be the best performer I can be,” she added.

Sara’s manager Mark Teitelbaum  also manages superstar Megan Fox, star of the ‘Transformers’ movie.

Unlike many typical Hollywood stars, Sara spends her day off with her friends, whom she met when she made her first movie, together with her mother. “Last weekend my mom and I cooked a Thai feast for everyone,” she said.

“We all Skype every night and my dad will be flying out here soon,” she added.
