I love love love that Simu is so honest about being bad at being an accountant. He's saying you can be terrible at something but that doesn't mean you're worthless or never going to be successful at anything, just that it might not be the thing for you! It's great and humanizing and motivating!
This dude might be one of the most naturally cool and down-to-earth people I’ve ever seen. I REALLY hope this dude makes it big, not just with Marvel.
He's so humble and down to earth, I think that's why people love him because He's relatable. Seeing him got all the success is like watching your friend became successful, you feel proud.

You can tell he genuinely thought about that “when…” question came up and instead of just joking about it he gave a great answer. Essentially changing the question to when did he become himself.
He was so amazing in Kim's Convenience and he absolutely killed it in Shang Chi. I hope he gets more and more love and success.
"I can't spend my life working on somebody else's version of success" THIS LINE 🔥🔥👏👏
SImu Liu is my favorite addition to the Marvel universe. Not Shang Chi but him as a person. He's such a great soul and such a great energy to be around so it seems.

His rise to stardom is great. Came in as an unknown actor and has been using his success to introduce himself in a awesome, friendly way
never change, simu. you're one of the humblest, most modest and nicest actors I've ever seen.
There is no way anyone can play rapid-fire with this guy 😅 absolutely writing a paragraph for every asked question
Simu Liu is such a down-to-earth easy going guy not to mention very humble. I love how he takes his time in interviews and answer all the questions.
Simu is one of those nice, down to earth celeb everyone would love to have as a friend
he seems so patient and would be a great teacher. going above and beyond in these answers
Simu is the most wholesome breakout actor, honestly. I love Canadians.
He seems like that person you can talk to for hours without feeling bored
So glad they cast him as Shang Chi, he was absolutely brilliant
How charismatic can one person be? Simu Liu: Yes
Simu is honestly the human equivalent of a cup of hot cocoa.
its so refreshing seeing someone genuinely excited to play a role. he did an amazing performance cannot wait to see him again
I love that he is honest about his height but doesn't let that hold him back.
Fantastic interview Simu! He seems very humble and likeable, just like your every day guy who happened to land some awesome acting roles. Really looking forward to seeing what other projects he's in!

There are a number of Marvel actors who are very down-to-earth and relatable. What's really fun is when you get several of them who've worked together on stage together for a Q&A (esp. when Anthony Mackie's among them). The answers are great, and the banter is fabulous.
In 'Shang-Chi,' Simu Liu finally gets the role he always wanted. Long before he became Shang-Chi, Simu Liu was convinced that the only way he'd be an Asian superhero on an American movie screen was to craft the story himself. 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
"But maybe I was mean to somebody ... at some time ... *distressed face*" 😂 I love this guy.
Simu and ryan Reynolds, representing Canada in most wholesomeness
Simu Liu is probably the most charismatic actor in Hollywood nowadays. I love him so much in Shang Chi!
Some people have a cool vibe. Simu Liu has the coolest name and his star will continue to rise.
He’s awesome man, quickly becoming one of my favourite actors. So down to earth and just has a energy that makes you smile! Making sure I watch anything and everything with him in it!!

He's just so down to earth. Saw him portraying an air traffic controller in the Smithsonian's air disaster show which they used his face on the thumbnail for clickbait. They knew what they were doing. He also was not lying when he said he would find an role just get more exposure. He also had an appearance in Amazon's Expanse
Compared to people like John Cena who treats every question as a joke (and his interview became a big joke itself), and boring people like others, this is very fresh, honest and down to earth.

Simu is so wise. Hearing him say the other people's version of success was such a maybe-I'm-doing-it-too moment for me. Now I have a rethink my whole life.
He's a very genuine and charming person and I'm glad he's getting the recognition
I really like how down to earth he seems. Makes these types of interviews more interesting. 😊
So he really got famous overnight. That's TIGHT!

Of all sweet and just genuinely kind Canadian actors, Simu Liu has to take the care. He seems like a genuine person and living in Toronto, I can definitely imagine the circles he'd run in just as a regular guy -- it just makes sense.
He seems like such a great guy, and he's a lot like his character
I just finished listening to his book We Were Dreamers, which he read by himself. Amazing book! What a battle experience growing up as an immigrant. I shedded a lot of tears. Highly recommend. What I love is the genuine description of his feelings, his struggles with parents, his strong mind to be himself. Couldn’t stop admiring his sustainability towards his own dream. Wow! Here, I’m searching to see how he talks in real life. Lovely!
God I love this man. He’s so calm and expressive. He cares so much!
I honestly love him so much!
I loved seeing him get turning into a meatball in the third season of The Expanse, that was a cool thing to catch him in. I'm very proud of our lovable Chinese-Canadian Himbo. Looking forward to seeing him in more stuff because he's actually talented and I would love to see him in a drama.
Such a legend, great interview.
It's interesting how Simu Liu's language experience mirrored Shang-Chi / Shaun's in the movie: lived in China, moved to North America, learned English on the fly.
