Simu Liu Loved Staring Into Tony Leung’s Eyes | Around the Table | Entertainment Weekly

Simu Liu breaks down how impressive Tony Leung's eye acting is and the lengths he'd go to witness said eye acting.
Marvel Studios' "Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings" stars Simu Liu as Shang-Chi, who must confront the past he thought he left behind when he is drawn into the web of the mysterious Ten Rings organization. The film also stars Tony Leung as Wenwu, Awkwafina as Shang-Chi's friend Katy and Michelle Yeoh as Jiang Nan, as well as Fala Chen, Meng'er Zhang, Florian Munteanu and Ronny Chieng.

[@michaelchu1602]

yup Fala Chen mention in one of her Shang Chi interviews that she actually fell in love with Tony in that moment where they had the scene where they had to stare at each other. She also mention Tony's wife saying something, "sorry, kinda fell in love with your husband. I'm sorry." haha.

[@raghavsonisoni3]

Tony was like get him out of herreeeee

[@ireneonly]

Tony leung is so famous for saying so much with this eyes without speaking a single word. He is one of the best actors ever. Not only china. He deserves to be known in hollywood in a big dramatic movie He is THAT GOOD

[@justina3901]

The casts overall chemistry with each other and camaraderie. It's so great to see

[@Arqua888]

Dude I felt Tony’s eye and facial expressions in movie.. it’s like giving chill

[@hannahtariq7158]

Tony was my favourite actor when I was a kid ! It's amazing to finally see him in a huge Hollywood movie.

[@mister7405]

I saw the film and i can see why he is stated that way. Loved his acting.

[@apratimbordoloi4056]

Meng'er Zhang is so lovely ❤️

[@goksi5883]

I can just stand still and stare at Tony Leong's eyes all the time.

[@myfyp2]

Tony Leung's eyes are a superpower.

[@uonghoang4915]

His eyes in Lust Caution mesmerised me very much, thats not even an acting, it was just him, living with character and become his character.

[@Wisteria_9]

And here I am love his voice more than his eyes, like his voice is so satisfying to hear.

[@lilblinder11]

You can tell they had a blast making the film! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Aaron-zl5gq]

such a great cast , this personality of the cast really shows in the quality of the movie.

[@PsyQoBoy]

Who here has watched Chungking Express and Infernal Affairs.

[@MoSalah-fw5si]

You should also watch his other films like 2046, Happy Together. His best performance was in In The Mood For Love

[@marmiksaini]

@@MoSalah-fw5si Add his action films like The Grandmaster, Red Cliff, Hero and Hard Boiled too. He's great in everything. Chungking Express is by far my favourite Tony Leung film or Wong Kar-Wai film.

[@BARROSORQUIDEA]

and ... .. In the mood for love, 2046, Happy Together, Red Creek, Hero, Lust Caution, . The first time I saw Tony was in Infernal Affairs. He became my crush, and the movie is amazing.

[@hayden-tan]

me + 1

[@chocoluvluv8461]

As a HKer growing up with Tony, I would like to introduce you one of his early movie Blind Romance which is a romantic love comedy. Also according to Wong Kar Wai, Tony’s best act should be 2046.Enjoy!

[@jesslovesbangs]

Love the cast!

[@queenofnevers6990]

I love this cast 😂

[@Plum_and_Cherry]

That’s so sweet ☺️

[@samanthamaclean1430]

Simu Liu and Tony Leung do have beautiful eyes I noticed it while watching the movie

[@thedragonladyishere]

He's talking about the Accented Cinema channel , the man who acts with his eyes!!! That channel is excellent.

[@tipchuthawetchakhongkitiko2844]

This is lovely

[@Kokiotv]

Living the dream 💙

[@hatelovebowel4571]

Ang Lee once said Tony Leung can stare into a toilette and it'll still be the greatest acting/movie you'll ever see, talk about talent

[@Mo-wanCyber-hk2ds]

Tony is the most brilliant actor in Asia in our time!

[@juiceng3998]

if there were another legendary actor ~ Leslie Cheung as one of the marvel heroes....holy shxxt....I would cry loudly...and I think Miss A will be crazy....

[@joshsun1446]

If Leslie is still alive, god the things could’ve been made the stories he could’ve told the people he could’ve helped….now I’m upset

[@juiceng3998]

@@joshsun1446 sigh...sorry..is my fault..that give you the burden..。😭😭

[@alexandraedwina1577]

@@joshsun1446 yeah if Leslie Cheung is still alive, he would direct a lot of high-budgeted and high-production movies, and become a well-known movie director

[@damaniqphillip2756]

Awesome

[@Neolithika]

Can't wait for the next movie

[@clarkkent5293]

I wish to see Tony Leung play Mandarin again in the future MCU.

[@chucora2648]

Simu Liu,2021 Super

[@blupatches3030]

Look for the video of his acceptance of the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Venice Film Festival; from Ang's speech to everything else, the whole thing made me tear up so much That's one soulful and profound moment

[@alexong2542]

After the release of Shang Chi, now everyone knows of Tony Leung and is thirsty for him. Guys. . . He's been around since the 80s and 90s. . . He's also actually my dad's age. You guys are slow as hell . . .

[@_sparrowhawk]

Yeah, your first sentence makes no sense - he's been around and a huge star (including Zhang Yimou super films) for decades.

[@alexong2542]

@@_sparrowhawk yeah, but Westerners don't know of him at all. Look at all the comments, and the reactions on the internet, it's like they just discovered a new superstar

[@BeyondThinkingChannel]

In 1980s, He was already acting inTV drama and started acting on movies since1990s in HK.

[@yellowprime8491]

It's only film buffs that enjoyed "foreign cinema" that knew him in the West. I only discovered him in High School having been shown John Woo's Hard Boiled by a friend big into HK action cinema.

[@KeoNz]

Of course we Asian Chinese all knew him. We should be glad that this film gives him exposure to western audiences =)

[@vincet8610]

this is fun.

[@hothotheat3000]

Tony was the best part of the movie. Acted circles around everyone else. Made them look like high school amateurs.

[@SolWake]

I'd say he elevated them. You can tell everyone in the room pushed further and worked harder in part because of his inspiring presence.

[@ronjohnson6394]

I mean that's pretty accurate, Marvel actors are not exactly known for their insane dramatic acting chops lol

[@aronnechan24]

Wow, agreed! Staring contest who would win? of course Simu haha

[@linewalker]

Nothing wrong with learning from the best lol

[@zippocollector9469]

Tony’s eyes can talk….

[@goodguyaus]

Heh heh heh, I'm here from his 'Police Cadet' days; I dunno about eye-acting but that dude can act with his mouth stuffed full of food like nobody else.

[@nattodaisukii]

Can't blame him though! 😂

[@maxandmaggie2010]

One of the Best movie Shang =Chi

[@monk9803]

Tony and Fala returns to Hong Kong

[@KateHayley]

You are not the only one

[@tennillecovington4224]

I just came here to say..Red Cliff!

[@ninawherever2832]

Simu Li is so likeable

[@TheHmoobkey]

Tony Leung comes to Hollywood, anyone?

[@stephaniekao8831]

So Great!! Awkwafina is So Funny, Cute and one of the Best actresses Ever!!

[@Butterflier00]

i did too, simu.

[@Daisy-qd2cf]

People talk about his eyes don't know he's a singer as well.

[@hongthao1397]

No joke tho.....i be lost just looking into Tony Leung eyes.......😳😳😳lol

[@jojotwice8918]

all these rookie Asian actors getting a masterclass from Tony

[@sheilalutchmanen2542]

Hey Simu Jung Shun Shangi Chi Why do u have to look at Tony Leungs eyes you have beautiful eyes yourself South Africa We love you

[@AlbertoGarcia-wd7sc]

I mean, how could you not look into his eyes?

[@ronmosely8355]

It's called a learning experience...dont make it sound like the brother is gay. As a villain none of us have seen Leung do with his eyes when angry like in this film. Never since Hard Boiled. Fact of the matter Tarantino' s Hero....Donnie Yen and Leung had no lines but Yen was Zen ..while Leung described full scripts with his eyes alone. That also was the power of Infernal Affairs 1 and 3 as well as 2046...now free on Pluto TV.

[@notofuspeed]

Just wanted to point out it was never Tarantino’s work, he merely loved the film and decided to put his name on it as “presenting” and promoted it in the west, it was a film by Zhang Yimou, who has known for such visually artistic films.

[@eolinluna]

Who wouldn't?

[@Frankie1603]

Well, who doesn’t 😂😂

[@anthonyt219]

Who doesn't?

[@conanbdetective]

who wouldn't

[@AustronesianMullet]

Tony Leung made Simu Liu disappear on the screen.

[@genbbq123]

梁朝伟嘛

[@joecosmic4971]

Akwafina sounds so much like miley cyrus to me

[@hothotheat3000]

The blaccent is so distracting.

[@bridgetbinion8494]

He and Michelle Yeoh are literally the only reason to watch it.

[@terrarune]

Awkwafina is abhorrent. Shang Chi needed an actual romantic interest not some ugly hanger on.

[@savethebees2506]

Liu looks like Xi Jin Ping 😱😱😱😱🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

[@Wunderpus-photogenicus]

If Simu wants his movies to have access to one of the largest movie box office markets in the world, he must respond to all the criticism by many reporters/bloggers regarding his past anti-China sayings. Staying silent would not work, and even might be seen as admission of guilt. A sincere apology and change of attitude might help.

[@sungleong]

guilt? what guilt? there is nothing anti-China, just stating the fact his family left China because of the Communist party, that's very common.

[@SeeliaVachon]

Sounds more like China can't handle the truth.

[@sharpe8888]

Sorry the age of China appeasement is over.
