The 49-year-old Daniel Wu has settled in the United States with his wife and daughter in recent years, and has shifted the focus of his career to Hollywood. It was not until the epidemic passed that Daniel Wu finally returned to China. While working in Hong Kong, he also filmed movies and gave interviews to the media in the mainland.
Earlier in an interview, Daniel Wu talked about his acting career and current situation. He even bluntly criticized the young actors nowadays for paying too much attention to appearance and often using various online platforms to market themselves. He also said bluntly: "Appearance is not what an actor deserves." The capital of pride. "
Daniel Wu, who was born and raised in the United States, returned to China in 1997 because he wanted to see the return of Hong Kong. He spent all his money in Hong Kong and took a temporary job as a model. As a result, he was discovered by director Yang Fan. In 1998, he filmed "The Beautiful Boy". "Love" debuted, and one look back shocked the world. Since then, Daniel Wu has been named a male god due to his handsome appearance.
After sweeping Chinese films with his appearance, Daniel Wu gradually became a mainstay in the Hong Kong film industry with his acting skills.
In 2004, Daniel Wu received widespread attention for his role as Zu in the action film "New Police Story". For this role, he won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 41st Golden Horse Awards, successfully proving himself.
However, Daniel Wu bluntly stated in the interview that appearance is just a "door card" for an actor. Even if you can use the "door card" to enter the room, when you want to live in the room, this "door card" has no effect. functional.
Daniel Wu believes that actors should find their own characteristics and impress the audience with their roles. The attraction of external appearance is just a flash in the pan.

In the blink of an eye, Daniel Wu has been in the industry for 27 years. As a veteran, he generously shared his experience. He believes that actors should not be too focused on their appearance or personality. He also bluntly said that he cannot understand that young actors operate various platforms to market themselves: " Isn’t being an actor enough to satisfy you? Only roles will bring you the greatest amount of buzz. Being an internet celebrity will not improve your acting skills.”
Daniel Wu believes that you need to stay awake enough and ask yourself what you want. Be an actor or a star.
Daniel Wu has always felt that as an actor, you still need to maintain a "clean" background off-screen. As early as 2016, he expressed that he could not understand why some young actors wanted to imitate Korean stars and dress up in such exaggerated ways.
Yanzu said: "I think there is a very strange thing. Many people will look like Korean stars, that is, they have strange hair and makeup, and they don't feel like men. I don't particularly understand this."
"Because many Korean stars look that way because they are singers, not actors. If you dress like that, it will affect your feeling as an actor. If you dress up in weird ways every day, how can you play a very common role? The audience will have an impression, which will affect your acting. "
And his good brother Nicholas Tse also sees the same thing.
In 2018, Ting Feng judged Korean style: "I'm a little tired of the Korean style that is popular now. It's not that people are bad, but boys should get back the hormones that boys should have."
These two people are not just Just saying, in daily life, I usually go out without makeup, and I don't care much about the outside world's evaluation of my appearance.
A true example of anti-appearance anxiety.
In addition, although Daniel Wu grew up in the United States, he turned out to be obsessed with martial arts as a child due to the influence of the movie "Shaolin Temple". He even went to Beijing to learn martial arts from a teacher and met Wu Jing.
At that time, both of them were very interested in traditional Chinese martial arts, and because they both had the surname Wu, the elder Wu Jing was Da Wu, while Wu Yanzu was Xiao Wu. They called their coach Wu Bin Lao Wu.
Daniel Wu and Wu Jing both love movies and later joined the entertainment industry. Wu Jing once talked about Daniel Wu on the Mainland program "Tian Tian Shang Shang" and even called him his "godbrother", which shows that the two have a deep relationship.
Daniel Wu revealed in the interview that he has been keeping in touch with Wu Jing, paying attention to each other, cheering each other up, and looking forward to collaborating on a work!
