Simu Liu Recalls Time As A Spider-Man Impersonator
Simu Liu recently shared a memory about his time as a Spider-Man impersonator. Liu is known for his breakout role in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, the first Marvel film that was led by an Asian-American actor. Released in September 2021, the film went on to be a massive hit at the box office. The actor is set to star in the upcoming Barbie film with The Suicide Squad's Margot Robbie in the titular role.
Although Liu is now considered one of Hollywood's hottest leading men, the 33-year-old actor struggled through much of his career. His early work consisted of roles as extras in such television series as Nikita and Warehouse 13, as well as a stuntman in various projects. He landed a substantial part on the Canadian crime series Blood and Water before securing a major role in the critically-acclaimed comedy show Kim's Convenience which told the story of a Korean-Canadian family and their convenience store in Toronto. However, the series became mired in controversy following its conclusion due to a number of Kim Convenience's stars, including Liu, who found issues with the production's Asian representation.
