Episode 13 - JuJu Chan

It was a pleasure talking to the rising Asian-American movie star JuJu Chan on the latest podcast. JuJu was born in Hong Kong and raised in America where she has enjoyed prominent roles in films like the Netflix-produced Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny (2016) - directed by kung fu movie legend Yuen Woo-ping and starring Donnie Yen and Michelle Yeoh - and her new film, Jesse Johnson's Savage Dog (2017), starring Scott Adkins, Cung Le and Marko Zaror. JuJu continues to work across the American and Chinese film markets. She has just completed work on Fruit Chan's The Invincible Dragon, which co-stars Max Zhang and the UFC fighter Anderson Silva. We discuss JuJu's multifaceted career, which has seen her graduate from film school in New York to winning beauty pageants around the world, followed by a star-making turn in a popular Hong Kong reality TV show which made her a household name. She has written books, released an album, and continues to train in the martial arts. She has recently become a spokesperson for a smartphone fitness app called Move It.
