the Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings star,In an episode of How To Fail With Elizabeth Day on Wednesday , a weekly podcast by the English writer, journalist and broadcaster, Liu revealed that it was “crushing blow” for him to learn that he didn’t have the “X-factor” or “it factor” to land an acting role in 2018’s Crazy Rich Asians. The rom-com was directed by US screenwriter and producer Jon Chu.“If there’s only one shot, it’s going to be Crazy Rich Asians … This is my one window.
“I remember being devastated at the time … It felt like someone was telling me I wasn’t good enough, and that I wasn’t likeable. I didn’t have the thing to make people want to watch me,” said Liu.“It really forced me to kind of take a step back. Maybe I sound weird, but maybe I wanted it too badly. Maybe I was too desperate – and that desperation was showing in my work. There had to be an element of confidence to what I was doing, that’s something for sure.
