Wu Lei Makes Hearts Flutter
Apparently, Wu Lei worked hard for the one-minute shirtless scene as he spent four months eating fitness meals along with daily exercising. In the behind-the-scenes videos, the actor was seen doing push-ups before filming the scene. He did not even drink water as he feared it would cause his abs to relax.
Viewers noticed the actor’s physique and enthused, “Wu Lei is really no longer a boy;” “His muscles are completely real and not photoshopped;” and “Is this something we can watch for free?” They also highlighted how Wu Lei’s eyes were highly emotive when he silently watched Lusi.
With his child actor background, Wu Lei had already appeared in many memorable dramas when he was younger. Successfully transitioning to adult lead roles, Wu Lei is particularly adept at playing roles where he can show off his athletic abilities. In Love Like the Galaxy, Wu Lei has matured both in appearance and acting skills.
Despite horseback riding and fighting scenes often resulting in injuries, Wu Lei still filmed these scenes himself to achieve the best effects. Admiring his dedication, fans expressed, “Whether in acting skills or dedication, Wu Lei is far better than any other same-aged actors!”

His muscles were definitely eye candy, and makes his image of a general more believable.
indeed a very difficult scene to film for the female lead. how could she keep her eyes up?
Wu Lei is such a hardworking and driven actor… I hope we will watch a Hu Ge and Wu Lei combo again one day..
Zhao Lusi is a better actress than to Diraba for me. Lusi is not awkward to watch…
Hohliu : I agree!I think she’s a lot better than Diraba. She’s pretty good in several dramas.
I to used always mixed up Wu Lei and Joseph Zeng, the actor who played Zhang Wuji. I still do in first glance sometimes.
Me too! But I think Joseph zeng looks better haha but wu Lei’s acting is better
I often mix up Wu Lei and Dylan Wang He Di at first glance in photos. I actually thought it was Wu Lei cast as Dao Ming Si originally when the first set of the new F4 photos were released. LOL.
