I wasn't sure if the producer was going to have me train in Kung Fu, but I'm like, guys, in order for me to look bad in Kung Fu, I have to be pretty good to at least understand the language of Kung Fu. It's like learning a new language in a way, right? I've never done martial arts before. In my life. So I had a trainer, Danny. He was Danny Ma. He's awesome.

And I trained with him two, three times a week in Wing Chun, hitting the dummy, doing the basics. So at least I can look right in the form. And also martial arts is a language, is a culture in itself. You want to get in that mentality. It's like driving the Toyota Corolla. I want to get into Willis's mentality, somebody who is trained in martial arts all his life.

And then I can still not be very good when it comes to the fight, you know? So that was how I was able to make it real. But it was also very interesting. Growing up in Hong Kong, Kung Fu was so prevalent and such a thing that you see on TV in real life. And of course, being Asian American, People almost expect you to know how to do Kung Fu and I don't know how to do any of it.

So this kind of filled up a big void in my life and in my culture. Now at least I can say I can hit a wooden dummy Wing Chun style and I'm pretty okay. Finally, finally, you know, in middle school, kids who used to like make fun of me when I first came to the country and they like, like, you know, bully me and like talk trash, whatever. But that's how I learned to defend myself with comedy.

I would talk back. But one time this kid got to me and I don't know what what like got into me. Right. I just full on did turn around, did a roundhouse kick to his stomach, jumped up, karate chopped him in the back of the neck. And this is me with no martial arts training and 13 years old. And I just watched enough martial arts films growing up. And then all his friends got so freaked out.

And they're like, yo, don't mess with him. That's Bruce Lee, man. And I was like, hey, you know, if that's a stereotype and that's a stereotype that's going to save me from getting bullied, I'll take it. I will be Bruce Lee for you.

Thank you so much. It's been a pleasure.

The gorgeously enveloping new drama All We Imagine is Light opens on a warm, muggy evening in Mumbai. You feel immediately transported, caught up in the bustle and flow as young men stack crates on the sidewalk, older women sell food in open-air markets, and commuter trains rattle their way across a glimmering cityscape.
