Rumor has it that Asians can't play leading roles in Hollywood because they look too handsome and don't look Asian.

Recently, a YouTuber interviewed Hollywood Chinese actor Ludi Lin. The content of the interview was mainly about the Mortal Kombat movie. In the interview, Lin talked about some unfair treatment he had encountered in his acting career. A director excluded him with the reason that "you are too good-looking and this role is not suitable for you" (implying that you are too good-looking to be Asian).

At this time, the UP host who was interviewing asked indirectly: "Can you tell us which project this is? At that time, we all thought it was you." Lin also understood that the UP host was talking about "Shang-Chi", and shook his head helplessly and said twice, "Who knows."

During the interview, although Ludi Lin tried his best to act casual, it was obvious that he had strong emotions about not being chosen to play Shang-Chi. Hollywood's attitude towards Asian male actors has long been no secret, and Marvel is even willing to risk the film's reputation to maintain the stereotype.

Maybe for Lin Ludi, the Chinese mainland is where his future lies. I have always believed that Lin Ludi has the potential to be the next Donnie Yen. He can speak Cantonese and can go to Hong Kong to carry the banner of Hong Kong movies (Hong Kong movies will disappear without a new force). I hope that Louis Koo and Wong Jing, the last defenders of Hong Kong movies, can see Lin Ludi. Maybe we will soon see Lin Ludi starring in movies such as "SPL" and "Line Walker".
