@funnlim, Leo Wu Lei’s attraction is in his positive energy and vitality, as well as emotive eyes. While there are taller, more handsome and muscular actors in China, they can sometimes come across as stiff and soulless while just reading lines. Leo has a strong screen presence and moves with ease, and does very well in historical action roles due to his athleticism. He has improved a lot since “Nirvana in Fire”, and his eyes can speak volumes. While “Love in the Galaxy” cemented his status as A-list, I look forward to future projects which can push his acting more.

Many Chinese actors intentionally lose weight for historical roles because after putting on the multi-layers of historical costumes, they look just right. Or others do it to make their faces more chiseled on camera. Korean actors have very muscular physiques, but they often look too bulky in historical dramas due to their costumes.
