Actor Takeshi Kaneshiro heading to Hollywood?


TAIPEI : Actor Takeshi Kaneshiro, one of Asian cinema's biggest superstars, could soon be following in the footsteps of fellow Asian stars Rain, Jay Chou and Lee Byung-hun and heading to Hollywood.

The 33-year-old was recently spotted by fans in Los Angeles, fuelling speculation that the Taiwan-based actor is in talks to star in a Hollywood film.

While Kaneshiro's agency has confirmed that the actor is indeed in Los Angeles, it said he is actually there on vacation to visit friends.

The actor has always been cautious about taking on foreign films. In 1998, he starred in "Too Tired To Die" with Oscar-winning actress Mira Sorvino but has kept his distance since, and even turned down a role in "The Last Samurai" starring Tom Cruise.

In recent years, the actor has once again caught Hollywood's attention after starring in 2004's "House of Flying Daggers" with Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi and Hong Kong director John Woo's war epic "Red Cliff".

His agency said that while the star has received several Hollywood offers, it will not reveal any details until he has signed on the dotted line.

Well, you know, since he looks like Orlando Bloom, I'm sure he'd do well. XD

Is he really? Wow, that is somewhat surprising. Apparently Channel Asia thinks so, lol.

Ugh, do not want Kaneshiro in Hollywood!

Stay in Asia, dude. Hollywood is a cesspool, and you want none of that, I promise.

IDK the idea of Hollywood seems sketchy but IMO he'll probably do much better in Hollywood than Rain or Lee Byung-hun is now.

His English is adorable in Golden Bowl.

I find he did a GREAT job speaking English in Too Tired To Die.

He's got the face and the hotness factors. Oh, and did I mention? He's really talented :D

He'll do fine. I'll be sure to go see his movie the second it comes out if he does go and do a Hollywood movie :D
