The 2025 film information has already introduced us loads of treats by way of precise motion pictures, but additionally between stated flicks’ stars (the Scarlett Johansson Jonathan Bailey kiss, anybody?). Apparently, earlier this yr, the unlikely pair of Jackie Chan and Michael Cera met for the primary time below some foolish circumstances. The taking place occurred whereas Chan was on a press tour for Karate Child: Legends, and he assumed Cera was a contest winner of some type.
The actor recounted the awkward story to NME whereas chatting about Wes Anderson’s The Phoenician Scheme. (Which sounds equally as memorable because the politely pressured introduction as a consequence of his bug-loving character for the 2025 movie.) Each occurred to be selling, respectively, their aforementioned titles in the identical location when some crew related the 2. The one factor was, as Cera shares, Chan seemingly had no clue who his Hollywood peer was, however took an image pondering he was a fan of some type:
After I met him [Chan] although, he was like, ‘Who is that this individual, what’s happening?’ We took an image however I feel he thought I used to be a contest winner.
I like this a lot simply because if it have been to occur to any celeb, the Juno actor would high my listing. I feel his normal vibe is why he grew to become Barbie’s Allan, and all of it boils all the way down to how he takes every little thing in stride so properly and with the looks of ease. And so far as the worldwide star not recognizing him, I’m not stunned. He has had an expansive profession, stuffed with nice Chan classics in a number of nations and much more friends.
Cera continued the saga by explaining how the photograph op went, which was tremendous and good total. Although he did word that he felt like he was intruding on the Rush Hour star’s temporary second earlier than returning to press interviews. In his phrases, he shared:
He was like, ‘OK, let’s do an image actual fast. Come on.’ Not rudely. However I felt like I used to be invading his little private time together with his group earlier than he goes on the radio. So I used to be like, ‘What am I doing right here?’ However everybody was very candy and I acquired to fulfill Jackie.
Once more, the alternate couldn’t be extra becoming for the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World star. From the begin to the top, I’m simply so amused by all of it, and glad to know that Chan will all the time have time for a fan (even when it’s an unknowingly well-known one).
Now that each Cera’s The Phoenician Scheme and Chan’s Karate Child: Legends (which was a nice shock to some followers) are out, possibly they’ll find time for a redo. I imply, if the motion star can actually roll with the punches of dislocating his shoulder on the KKL set and bounce again instantly, who’s to say he’s not in for correctly assembly Cera?
