Simu Liu recently revealed what his family did to him after he lost his accounting job and started acting.
The 36-year-old Canadian actor appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers, where he shared how he once disgraced the family and suffered the consequences.
Liu, who will return to play Shang-Chi in the near future Avengers: Doomsday, said: “The level of shame would be the same by Asian standards as if I were addicted to meth and on the streets.”
He added: “They are the same. I’m trying to explain to you what it was like in our household. It was bad.’
The Copenhagen Test star went on to say that he traveled to China with his family for the first time in fifteen years and also visited his grandmother, whom he had not seen for a long time.
Liu joked, “I really felt guilty for not coming back sooner. Although, in my defense, when I lost my job as an accountant and then started acting and auditioning, I kind of became a black sheep in the family. And I wasn’t invited to these family outings for a very long time.”
He emphasized that the situation worsened because no one wanted to talk to him, and shortly afterwards he was even denied the invitation.
Meyers asked if fans in China are reaching out to him since he has now earned celebrity status Last breath actor responded that they had, even though he didn’t expect it.
“Just because our Marvel movie, for whatever reason, never came out in China. So I really thought no one would care,” Liu said.
Before concluding, it is pertinent to mention this Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled for release on December 18, 2026.
