A natural fit for a brand built on strength, resilience and expressive individuality, Zizan's story reflects G-SHOCK's ethos of 'Never Give Up', inspiring fans from all walks of life. Hailing from the small town of Dungun in Terengganu, Zizan, 41, has gone on to become one of Malaysia's most-loved entertainers, having made a name for himself both on the big and small screens. He first captured the nation's attention through Maharaja Lawak and Raja Lawak, and further rose to fame after becoming champion of Super Spontan and Super Spontan All Stars. Since then, he has become a household name with blockbuster hits such as the Polis Evo trilogy, Abang Long Fadil and Mael Lambong, not to mention his vibrant hosting gigs that showcase his real, relatable charm on high-energy shows such as the Gempak Most Wanted Awards. Some of the watches from Zizan's G-SHOCK collection. 'When G-SHOCK first called to inform me that I had been chosen, my first reaction was that of disbelief. I thought that it was a prank by my friends, or a scam!' says Zizan during the official announcement at Dadi Pavilion in Pavilion Kuala Lumpur. 'I've always been a huge G-SHOCK fan. Despite knowing that I would be working closely with the brand now, I still bought three new G-SHOCK watches during my recent trip to Japan. 'Yes, I love their watches that much!' His very first purchase was a red DW-6900CB model. 'I was just 25 then, and it cost me about RM300, which was a lot of money back then,' Zizan recalls. Altogether, he owns around 20 G-SHOCK watches, and the DW 6900 series remains his favourite to date, often seen adorning his wrist in his movies. Being in tune with fashion, Zizan has no qualms colour-blocking with bold and expressive hues, for example, pairing a bright yellow shirt with his pink G-SHOCK watch. When asked to describe G-SHOCK in three words, Zizan says, 'Handsome, sincere, tough.' Off-stage, Zizan's passion for speed is palpable, especially when he realised his dream in 2024 by competing in the Petronas Grand Prix of Malaysia, after years of being a long-time motorsport fan and dedicated spectator. 'At Casio, time isn't just something we measure, it's a mindset. With G-SHOCK, we have always stood for toughness, innovation and unapologetic individuality,' says Casio Malaysia managing director Yuki Mutsui. 'In Zizan, we've found someone who lives that spirit effortlessly. He's bold, sharp and completely original; someone who can switch from sophistication to sheer energy in a heartbeat. 'His presence, humour and influence make him the perfect fit for the G-SHOCKFAMS community, and we couldn't be more excited to welcome him as our very first Malaysian brand ambassador,' Mutsui adds.
