Sample Answer
Who is your favorite movie star?
Well… I have to say among all the Chinese actors, the one I like the most is definitely Jackie Chan. I love Jackie for his fabulous movies, especially his action comedy movies. I’ve watched every single one of his movies, even the old ones he shot in 1980s. His movies can always make me bust a gut when I watch them. Well….when it comes to a foreign movie star I really like, I have to say Johnny Depp is one of my favorite movie actors in the world. His acting is definitely great and he’s known world-wide for his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean‘ movie franchise. I’ve watched them over and over but I never get bored.
Have you ever met a movie star in real life?
Sadly, I’ve never been able to meet a movie star in real life. But it would be awesome if I could. I would die for the chance to meet Leonardo DiCaprio. He’s a household name all over the world. I loved him in the movie Titanic. It would be super cool to see him face-to-face.
Do you want to be a superstar?
Um…No, actually I don’t think being a superstar would be my cup of tea. I’m pretty introverted, so I don’t really like being the center of attention. Plus, I guess that being famous would go to my head pretty quickly. I don’t think it would be a good lifestyle for me. I’ve heard that lots of celebrities burn out pretty fast.
Are international film stars popular in your country?
Yeah, I’d say that international film stars are pretty popular in my country. A lot of American celebrities are household names. For instance, I’m a huge fan of Tom Hanks. He’s an American film star who’s been in tons of classic movies like Forrest Gump and Toy Story. I’d be over the moon if I ever met him.
Are there Chinese actors who are also famous in foreign countries?
Yes of course. I believe Jackie Chan is the most famous Chinese actor in Hollywood. I heard his movies like the “Rush Hour” franchise were big hits at the box office when they were released back then. Besides him, Jet Lee and Ziyi Zhang also have tons of fans in foreign countries. I hope to see more Chinese actors flocking to Hollywood in the future.
