Leo Wu Praised for His Professionalism
Starring in commercials at just 3 years old and later becoming a child actor, Leo Wu (吳磊) is one of the most recognizable figures in the Chinese entertainment industry. His breakout role came in 2015 when he starred in a supporting role in the commercially and critically successful Nirvana In Fire <琅琊榜>.
In recent years, Leo made a successful transition to adult leading roles. His recent romantic drama, Amidst a Snowstorm of Love <在暴雪時分>, aired its final episode. Leo’s portrayal as a billiards professional was believable. He put in a lot of effort learning how to play the game and practicing. He also researched and spent hours watching documentaries on professional billiard players, hoping to convey their mannerisms more convincingly.
Leo said, “In addition to scoring, there are also movements that are habitually done after either scoring or missing a point. I’ve studied these micromovements and thought about which ones I could incorporate into my character. After all, I have never played a professional match before.”
In addition to his detailed performance, Leo also showcased his vocal abilities and sang one of the theme songs for the drama. As the light-hearted song was sung entirely in English, fans were pleasantly surprised to learn of Leo’s proficient English. With his multi-talents, it is no wonder why Leo is one of the brightest and most respected young actors in the industry.
