金城 武 Takeshi Kaneshiro - TALK ASIA [CNN]

[nadicson]

i didn't know that he can speak english @.@"

[stanfamily]

too handsome !!

[greenoverthegreen]

He is soooo charming.

[sodazman]

Asian males are always made to appear as nerds, martial arts masters and asexual beings on the Hollywood screen. It's a real shame how narrow minded the movie industry still is. This guy for example has real talent and looks awesome too.

[Alillan]

@sodazman

Hopefully its changing now...Watanabe in Inception was quite interesting role.

[chobbithottie]

this gives me a flashback when bruce lee was being interviewed and he stayed humble

[GimmeThatBecky82]

He is so awesome and hubmle!

[GimmeThatBecky82]

Thank god the reporter isn't that stupid asian lady

[ixluvxjesusx]

Oh, I love him, he's so beautiful <3

[killacomeback]

Takeshi Kenishiro FUKEN ROCK! Check out these PS2 games that were made on his real life facial feature. Onimusha!

[eri53117]

Hes english is good <33

[gingerat40]

what natural... its good that he spoke in English.... he is a global star and not every one who watch his films understand his other languages, his english is very good too... he can use any language he wants as long as its appropriate with the occasion...a lot of hollywood movies are great but not all, people really need to discriminate..

[hitthebed]

最英俊的明智左馬介.....XP

[Lordofthenipplerings]

The only Asian male leads usually are doing kung fu.

[shanzfendi]

the interviewer harped on and on about Hollywood...I couldn't believe it (o_o)

[sunnyboy8644]

金城武要是說他第二帥,我想沒有人敢說他自己是第一....

[may935a]

@sunnyboy8644 完全同意

[a485mac]

The interviewers for talk asia are usually bad no matter what.. It's like they pick the most ignorant clownish white person to do these interviews and then get them to ask the dumbest questions. I just finished watching Rains interview and that woman interviewer was so ignorant it it got on my nerve.. And as far as Hollywood being racist, as a black person, we knew this from the 1920's, so he's not speakin nothin new!! If you're not a blonde hair, blue eyed lookin bimbo, then forget hollywood.

[olexia07]

@a485mac  lol I'm black also. So all these people need to jump on the bandwagon and join the family. Minorities in Hollywood don't have it easy. Speaking as a Black female we have it worse than Black men and Asian men you can forget about it unless they are making them do some sort of Kung Fu.

[Volf99]

@a485mac us Jews do just fine in hollywood, so your wrong because people like Woody Allen or Larry David or Jeremy Piven do just fine in the business.

[mokata870617]

英語が上手いですね！

His English is really really good!

I love him!

[jlimproj]

thats a nice hairstyle.

[cowchieyux]

Damn!!!!! he's so right!!!!!!!!!

[MarquisdeSade825]

Okay, I have a question for you Asians complaining that Hollywood films are racist shit. Why the hell are you paying to watch American films & buying dvd's, etc? You should be boycotting Hollywood instead of running your mouths. Put your money where your mouth is. Boycott Hollywood & the US media in general. You don't think that would prompt a change? Reject everything American if you truly believe Americans are using Hollywood films to promote racist propaganda. Make sense?

[WishCRUS4D3R]

@MarquisdeSade825 I do. Make sense?

[parcourkid]

@MarquisdeSade825 Please please please, don't think all Asians are that ignorant as "shootthedevil" He's talking out his arse.

[Volf99]

@MarquisdeSade825 if wikipedia is correct, Asian people only make 4.8 % of the population, so it doesn't matter if they boycott or not.

[MarquisdeSade825]

Most American films suck. They're low quality. That's why I only watch foreign films. Old Hollywood movies were quality, especially for their time. Takeshi is an idiot if he enjoys Hollywood movies or maybe he's just trying to be diplomatic. Chinese actors played Japanese roles in the bullshit American film "Memoirs of a Geisha", because most Asians in the US are Chinese. Most Asian actors in the U.S. are Chinese. There aren't many Japanese in the U.S anymore. They hauled ass long ago. lol

[mygap11]

he is so gorgeous!!!

[mygap11]

when is it??

[Kobe8No8Means8No]

For someone who attended Taipei American School, his English sucks.

[1wellinglover]

I'm not even Asian but I totally get what he's saying! Hollywood is great but not if you're a minority. Come on, we're in 2011 and still there is not enough diversity in hollywood, even though AMERICA clearly is!

[haldevethiljada]

WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT HOLLYWOOD

[pookiroo]

takeshi is so hot.....

[samantha34ize]

holly wood in the 90s 80s 70 60 were aweseome but now their movie not good alot of marvel comic movie it is racist gkou is played by a white guy lol

[Nprob]

his english is good considered he was raised in Asia. And yeah, he got a bit a japanese accent in his english but it's fine.

[RachealBlack]

he's freaking hot WOW XDDD

[hacksign000]

he's so handsome <3 he's good at english too

[ttiiyy]

Who did the makeup for him? He is such a handsome person, and the makeup ruins it!

[Nyanyotte]

Watching anime, I've rarely heard japanese people speak english so much well. Takeshi you're the best ! ^u^

[240kankan]

@Nyanyotte to call him japanese is not accurate?listen to them.

[black4pienus]

I like takeshi better with long hair. he's a sweetheart and a really good actor. and he likes johnny depp! (^_^)

[lysjanvier]

he speaks english with a japanese accent

[xiaojasons]

@lysjanvier ~~hahaha, 你白癡喔，他在台北長大，小時候爸爸常不在身邊，小時候還只會講­台語，到出道的時候白冰冰用日文訪問他，還被他嚇一跳想說 你不是日本人 怎麼日文講成這樣，隨便一個真的日本人聽他講話就知道他的日文不­是真的很流暢，還他的英文有日文口音我看你真的傻了~~~~真是­不懂裝懂得傢伙~像他這樣的小孩在臺灣不在少數好嗎~~基本上如­果abc是美國人 金城武就根本是臺灣仔 只能這樣理解 

[lysjanvier]

@xiaojasons wow wtf dude, I respect your take on his accent - but there's no need to call me stupid or an idiot. what's with the personal attack?

[docd1o1]

@lysjanvier insecurities. also the way he's raise is bad then. don't blame him, blame his mother and father.

[catcatmeimei]

@xiaojasons 你說的真的沒錯~~他的母語是台語..你真的了解!

[stantan1007]

@lysjanvier i dont think so, he was raised up in Taiwan, he speaks taiwanese much better than japanese

[TheMichikoMalandro]

Omg I didn't know he could even or spoke english! I in love with him!

[daughterrevolution]

@TheMichikoMalandro He speaks multiple languages: Mandarin, Cantonese, Taiwanese, English.

[BlueNsilver]

Whew... getting a little hot and bothered while watching this interview... His accent is so irresistible...

[AnSymphony]

GOGO JAPAN !

[Kratos0909]

@AnSymphony Don't forget "GOGO TAIWAN" as he is half-Taiwanese(ethnically Chinese)

[AnSymphony]

@Kratos0909  Right (: GOGO ASIA

[nikefreak01]

@Kratos0909 yes i heard he speaks fluent madarine if im correct.. id like to learn it someday XD

[xxJxMxCxx]

i dont understand why they talk about hollywood?! they should talk more about him.. he's such a thinker, so smart and handsome i love it, he's not one of the empty super stars. asian cinema is way better than hollywood. i really like hollywood but its not so good as asian cinema. (my opinion) he's such a good mix. dang. i should be his wife haha :) xx ♥

[bigfatdick5000]

The host Hugh Remington is a stupid ass aussie white pig dumb ass, he used to host news on local tv stations here, that's why ask such usual insensitive questions and displayed some distant westerncentric pov, lucky now Talk Asia has kicked his ass to north pole and changed to a hot korean momma Loraine Hahn lol, much more sensitive to things.

[djonutube]

@bigfatdick5000

Don't be an ignorant little dick. I don't think anything Hugh has said in this interview was incencitive even though he did not ask any overly interesting questions but nothing was negative. Grow up!

[voiceofexpression]

many asian actors are not stupid nowadays. they know that hollywood is the best but they also know that hollywood does not know how to use them.

[shootthedevil]

Hollywood sucks ass. All it is a big special effects, blood and gore. As an Asian person, I have begun to not relate to hollywood movie stars, since most of hollywood is so racist.

[gregsie74]

@shootthedevil you can tell in this interview Takeshi is being v diplomatic when bombarded with questions about hollywood, but he knows whats up. The interviewer is a human turd.

[egogo816]

@shootthedevil Yeah I know....I find Asian cinemas have so much more freedom to express themselves than America....Maybe that is why I have not seen an American film in over 5 months and I live in America...haha

[Volf99]

@egogo816 lol, "Asian cinemas have so much more freedom to express themselves than America" oh really? Show me a (PRC) Chinese movie that even suggest the idea that Tibet should have independence or a movie that can show the positive role of people like Ai Wiewie. Just look at Jay Park to see how people are not aloud to express their feelings about a country. Meanwhile there are people like Michael Moore are able to make movies that make America look bad.

[JapaneseModernist]

@shootthedevil You are right

[itsanawesomeguy]

@shootthedevil wtf? retard, blood and gore? hollywood is best film industry in the world, you're an idiot, you're just sad there aren't enough asians in hollywood, just say that, don't lie and say hollywood sucks ass, if you're from chink land go there and watch those movies, we could say it sucks ass but it probably doesn't..god i'm asian--korean to be specific-- myself, and i hate idiots who misconstrue and demean good things

[minskiha]

@itsanawesomeguy Hollywood may one of the biggest and wealthiest film industry, but it being the best is highly debatable. Even the interviewer says Hollywood films as a whole have gone stale.

And if you're trying to make a cogent argument against people misconstruing and demeaning things, refrain from using "chink land" next time.

[likecrunchyness]

@shootthedevil

agreed.

[JPSardua]

i don't like the interviewer. Such a waste of time asking stuff about Hollywood to an Asian superstar. I thinks it's very disrespectful to Takeshi to not to talk more about his body of work. Whoever the host is has done such a terrible job & his line of questioning is so much on a western perspective. I'm sure he didn't do much research. Good thing Ms Rao is now hosting this show, not some condescending white host. They should have allowed Takeshi to speak Japanese or Mandarin to be more natural

[zyxy3k]

@JPSardua lol its CNN. I dont expect much.....

[gogoutube]

@JPSardua You're delusional. This was a very cordial interview about Takeshi and his views on different things, Hollywood in particular. What's wrong with asking him on his future prospects outside Asia? This is not fan fare where the interviewer drools over him gushing "omg i luv u". I notice no condescendence, no disrespect. And you know he could have requested a mandarin translator, but Takeshi's great at English =)

[angelbottle]

@JPSardua

lol that's true...those questions are more suited for a film critic.

[Volf99]

@JPSardua way to be racist, God forbid that its the host personality that makes it shit, and not his race. smh

[lurehumano]

cool i didn't know he speaks english! love him in 'house of flying daggers'!

[lovyneed]

Takeshi likes johnny depp!!!!!! sogoi desu ne?
