Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Sorry, my English is not...
I gotta be honest with you, my English is not good either.
So we're fine.
We're gonna both be on the same page.
We should do the interview in French or Spanish.
French?
Yeah, so there's no communication.
We'll do it via sign language.
You know?
Cool.
Yeah, exactly.
It's no problem.
I heard you had a concert last night.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So what was that like for you to be performing last night, and then today you're, you know, promoting? Yesterday I'm a singer, and today I'm an actor.
So, you know...
How do you say adjust my mentality?
I have to adjust my...
How do you say adjust?
Adjust.
Adjust.
I have to adjust.
I did a little research on you, and I've learned that you're incredibly famous in Asia.
Pardon me for not knowing everything.
What's it like for you, though, being almost anonymous in Los Angeles?
I would imagine you have a lot more freedom to be able to walk around and be yourself.
Yeah, I feel comfortable.
I feel comfortable.
Because nobody knows me, you know?
I think, cool.
I can walk on the beach.
In the beach?
Oh, I can walk in the beach.
I go to, you know, Santa Monica and Venice Beach.
I can play basketball with my friends.
In my country, you know, many paparazzi.
Oh, totally.
Many paparazzi.
So I feel like vacation.
Right on.
Oops, and I've lost the pen.
I know that you are a big fan of Bruce Lee.
Was there any hesitation for you taking this role?
Were you a little nervous, or were you more excited?
Yeah, no matter who plays New Cadillac, he would be nervous.
Because Bruce Lee is a legend.
So I don't want people to compare.
Because God and normal person can't compare.
So I want to do a new style, like more real in my life.
No, totally.
Yeah, more real in my life.
So I play piano.
So Michael plays piano.
I know that you're a director.
What was it like to be on set and sort of not have control of what was going to be happening?
Was that difficult for you?
It's not difficult.
Because I like his performer.
Seth's performer is very good.
He is like a freestyle.
Sometimes he says the lines not in script. Yeah, always.
So, you know...
My reaction is real.
It's more... So my reaction is more...
So sometimes I would be surprised.
So my reaction is sometimes...
So when he says...
Surprised.
What?
What did he say?
He said...
So they rehearse before the shoot.
Do you rehearse before the shoot?
Oh, yeah.
Rehearsal, you mean?
Yes.
If we're shooting the scene, we rehearse three times.
Then go and do it.
But I like no rehearsal.
Just doing.
It's more my nature. Do you find that you enjoy...
Like if you do five takes of something, is that too much for you?
Or are you sort of like one or two takes, we got it?
Okay.
I'm sorry.
If I'm a director, because I directed my movie, I like 20 takes.
And I choose the best.
But in a Hollywood movie, I don't want to miss...
I don't want to...
I don't want to make a mistake.
You don't make a mistake.
I don't want to make a mistake.
I just want to perfect every time.
I understand.
I'm being given the signal to wrap up with you, so I say thank you so much and congratulations on the movie.
Thank you.
Okay.
