who is johnkor?

moar

not even close bro...

yea... sadly for oscar, but he was nominated best actor twice @ golden globe, first asian even till now.

he and joan also the earliest asian couple presenter @ oscar.

he was an orphan borned in hk... his childhood story is pretty sad, he went acting after adopted in US.

After famed in hollywood, he went back to HK and get treated like shit even hollywood treat him so well. he still insists making movies with hk and china but ended up miserably... and also lost so many opportunity in hollywood because he wanted to make movies in china. sadly he was not known by his own homeland but japanese treat him like god.... u can dig up his old japanese commercials

btw ladies, here is how john looks like when he was young, his first movie was actually hollywood's King Kong.

you're right at the beginning part, but things goes ugly in casting of "Farewell to my Concubine"



John was so obsessed with the role mainly because he reassembled his own childhood, being orphan and raised in chinese opera house, he rejected a few hollywood movies and spent a lot of time to prepare for the role, and at the end it went to Leslie, that is fine, but since then China and HK press launch a media propaganda on him, spreading lies on him to protect their own industry and boycott all his future releases including the M Butterfly. (M Butterfly finally fulfills his dream to play transgender & opera role)



In the later days, there is a china director scammed him into China TV series and John gave up the role in Memoirs of Geisha, and the chinese series failed miserably, the above video also has a summary of that, you can refer to the below starts from 6:15.

Lastly, M Butterfly is a masterpiece by John Loan but was not public known due to china's propaganda as he was playing and china transgender spy in the film, highly recommended by me.

wtf? u watch the wrong x rated last emperor from hk ah?

bit of trivial, Farewell to my Concubine's director, Chen Kaige also played a small cast in the last emperor as a guard, with less than 1min appearance
