Watch Simu's full interview with Ali on BBC iPlayer in the UK: bbc.in/3gZvoNy For more on how it felt to wear Shang-Chi's costume for the first time, his awesome bus fight, and work with the legendary Tony Leung.
This is EXACTLY why i love his interviews soooo much like its comfortable for the actor, and the watchers. You really do get tired of repeated questions when u watch too many interviews... but this guy! Wow just wow amazed every time👍👍👍
@@FramesPerSecond Yeah, but he takes advantage of the hot wings to get the most of the ppl he invites to his show, Ali doesn't need food, well except for this case.
The whole Simu's earlier tweet part was just the reason why I love Ali so much. He knew that people asked Simu so much about it that it got really boring. Always the innovative Ali.
Simu Liu is such a loveable and charismatic guy. He's that one person we want to hang out with or just have a nice cup of coffee with him, he's so cool and awesome
He used to be a stuntman and have a background in martial arts such as Taekwondo and Wing Chun, as well as gymnastics, no wonder he's damn good at doing his own stunt in Shang Chi. Good for him 👍👍👍
@@mrmushin1 I was wondering where he got trained. I figured maybe sunny tang because he’s from Mississauga and does wing chin; I know the owners son does stunt work for movies as well
I love this interviewer. He was so respectful, he didn’t interrupt to make his unfunny jokes like jimmy fallon or james corden and he was researched and considerate by not asking the questions that everybody had already asked before that. Love this guy
Half the marvel leads were from comedy... Paul Rudd, Chris Pratt, RDJ played Chaplin (does that count)? Plus the other Chris's and Tom Holland are great at comedy. Simu will fit right in (and was hired in large part for this)
@@Pipeblau they're still two books left, China Rich Girlfriend and Rich People Problems. I read it, it was damn good, the reason why it took so long because the actors and the director are busy with their other projects. It's hard for them to reunite and do the sequels these days unfortunately but I hope the sequels will be made
I've suffered a bit of PTSD from being fired in the past. Hearing Simu's story about being fired as an accountant makes me feel a bit better. I wonder if his former manager regrets terminating him now lol
Same. I really related to his story of being let go of his job and his healthy mindset about it. I doubt that partner cared when he did it (heck I’d say he’s probably retired now), but with this story circulating as Simu’s hit big and considering he was fired, not voluntary exit, it’s really not doing the firm’s rep any good.
Probably doesn't regret it, if someone's bad for the company or isn't preforming up to standards it will only hurt business. Id be proud of him for doing something bigger & better then an accountant job also id most likely be a little jealous because he has his own marvel movie now. TBH that guy did him a favor by firing him
I absolutely love watching Ali’s interviews. He’s so respectful and never asks truly invasive or “juicy” questions yet he keeps the interaction interesting and engaging. He’s one of the very few interviewers I can watch that don’t make me hold my breath in fear that they’re going to embarrass themselves or humiliate the actor/interviewee. Also Simu is awesome!
I've seen a lot of Ali's interviews in the past few years, I've seen a lot of Simu's interviews in the past few days, this one was by far one of my favorite of each of them ! Sparkles all over the place !
Ali is always amazing at interviewing. These actors are probably dead tired or bored after all their relentless press tours, yet when Ali comes in the conversation is so casual , fun and a little bit personal but still manages to promote the movies very well.
Everyone's distracted by the Iron Fist cosplayer - can we just take a moment to appreciate how on point the Dr Strange cosplayer got Cumberbatch's stern, eyebrow-y stare? (at 10:00)
That's Cumbermatch! He's the Doctor Strange cosplayer on tiktok. He's quite famous actually with his Benedict Cumberbatch cosplay He does Doctor Strange, Kahn(Star-Trek), Alan Turing(The ImitationGame), Sherlock, Patrick Melrose and other characters too
I'm always so impressed with cosplayers for their intricated costumes, hair and stuff. I think most make their costumes themselves (can't just buy such a high quality costume online. and even if you can, it'd be very expensive), either way, that's a level of dedication and workmanship I couldn't hope to replicate.
This is the best interview with Simu i've ever watch! The chemistry is on🔥 they're should have their own talkshow oneday and i will never get bored of hearing them chitchat.. or singing..?😂 What a lovely Simu, he's so funny❤️
Nooo this is one of those interviews where I just didn’t want it to end! 😭💔 Like I could listen to you two talk forever! This was so much fun to watch and honestly made me fall in love with Simu 🥰 He seems like one of those guys that you can just joke around with ✨
This is the best interview i've seen in weeks - thought totally following Ali on his adventures. Oh my god, just sooo excited to see the film tomorrow! and just listening to Ali and Simu chatting simply put such a huge smile on my face :) thank you!
Everything about this interview was so adorable and wholesome and both of these guys just seem so genuinely nice and real and basically Ali did all the stuff I wish interviewers would do all the time! Make it less weird, acknowledge the annoying repetitiveness of press tours (and advocate for better questions), know their history, and be respectful so they can be themselves and actually enjoy the conversation instead of needing to be guarded or do their job for them. I hope these two guys become friends IRL.
I enjoy Ali's interviews so much. I love how passionate he is about Marvel. He is so great at asking questions and making it entertaining! This might be one of my favourite interviews that he has done.
Wow. Imagine the reaction of his old boss at the accounting firm 🤣 I absolutely admire this dude. Great movie with lots of nuances of Asian culture and diversity within it.
Man, Simu Liu is such a nice guy. I love that he's the star of his own Marvel movie now. And kuddos to Ali Plumb for making a GREAT interview, as always!!
The idea that Simu is basically a newbie on this kind of movie,. And he got casted with legendary martial arts movie actor Tony Leung and Michelle Yeoh and totally nailing it just make Simu a top top class actor.
I LOVE THESE QUESTIONS AND INTERVIEW!!! ALI IS THE BEST INTERVIEWER EVER LETTING SIMU TAKE HIS TIME TO ANSWER AND BEING SO INTERACTIVE AND LISTENING WELL. ALSO HE RESEARCHED SO MUCH, AMAAZINGGGG I LITERALLY ALMOST SHIPPED THEM LOL
I'm a fan of Simu Liu, esp from Kim's convenience. He was pretty good here etc etc, but his dad was soo badass! and really fitted those rings, like he worked them
Shang-Chi's dad is the legendary Tony Leung, who is one of East Asia's finest actor. Check out Infernal Affairs, and if you like art house films, the In the Mood of Love is one his finest.
He's seems so fun and chill in the few interviews I've seen from him. I wonder if that's because he hasn't done many so they're still interesting to him. I could be wrong though, maybe he's just so charming and charismatic and funny that his interviews will always be like this, I hope so! I get the vibe that they didn't set all of the usual interviews up until it started doing well.
I do think when you're at the start of your big break you'll naturally still be more excited and energetic but even then, a lot comes down to personality and charm. Simu seems like a deeply decent and charismatic person so I think even after years of this he'll still be such a good sport about interviews.
One of my more favorite interviews you've done lately. I'm surprised Kim's Convenience wasn't talked about more, but I know part of the way he left wasn't great, because he would've probably stayed if they didn't do a spinoff focusing on mainly Shannon... but that's maybe just me being a big nerd. *shrugs*
The whole Simu's earlier tweet part was just the reason why I love Ali so much. He knew that people asked Simu so much about it that it got really boring. Always the innovative Ali.

Simu: "Thank you for being so researched"
Ali: * Blushes * Stop it.
Simu does really speak for us all!
Ali is the best at his job. It’s been the best for a long time and ever. He never ask ‘well what can you tell me about the movie?’ 🙄
Simu knows!
This is EXACTLY why i love his interviews soooo much like its comfortable for the actor, and the watchers. You really do get tired of repeated questions when u watch too many interviews... but this guy! Wow just wow amazed every time👍👍👍
As someone who is studying to become to an accountant, getting fired someday and having my own marvel movie gives me hope.
@dkfca As someone who isn't an accountant, who wouldn't love to be in a marvel movie?
I think no matter what your job is, we’ve all dreamt of getting fired and getting our own marvel’s role 😂
😂😂😂 your killing me
Ali is the best interviewer there is. He instantly creates chemistry, puts them at ease and they are the best interviews around
Sean Evans has entered the chat...
Kjersti Flaa is also very good.
@@FramesPerSecond Yeah, but he takes advantage of the hot wings to get the most of the ppl he invites to his show, Ali doesn't need food, well except for this case.
@@henrikanchelia64 He takes advantage of the pain his guests are in. hue hue hue
Simu Liu's "LOL!" is like Sebastian Stan's "Mee-mees".
Does no one else LOL like that? No? Just me.
@@Phuongyyy me too
@@Phuongyyy i say lol like that lol
Sebastian basically is Bucky. Bucky would absolutely say mee-meees.
No one:

I see a Simon Baker's fan here.
@@vinaykoppisetti7873 How'd you know?!
Your Dp, @Samyak Gadkari
That's my PC wallpaper. And, I'm a big fan of Simon Baker and Sherlock Holmes.
@@vinaykoppisetti7873 ooh
Simu's humility is so attractive. How he attributed the success of his audition to Awkwafina's ability to ground him is so cute
Simu Liu is such a loveable and charismatic guy. He's that one person we want to hang out with or just have a nice cup of coffee with him, he's so cool and awesome
Definitely
He used to be a stuntman and have a background in martial arts such as Taekwondo and Wing Chun, as well as gymnastics, no wonder he's damn good at doing his own stunt in Shang Chi. Good for him 👍👍👍
Wow didn’t know that. I have some background in martial arts & his moves were so good!
And he gets trained at barbell brigade by Bart kwan
@@mrmushin1 I was wondering where he got trained. I figured maybe sunny tang because he’s from Mississauga and does wing chin; I know the owners son does stunt work for movies as well
@@friendlylavenders And you gonna rate his fights?
I love this interviewer. He was so respectful, he didn’t interrupt to make his unfunny jokes like jimmy fallon or james corden and he was researched and considerate by not asking the questions that everybody had already asked before that. Love this guy
Ali plumb is literally the only celebrity interviewer I watch for this exact reason- I would highly reccomend his other marvel interviews
H O W T H E H E C K D I D I T H A P P E N
Ali has been here for a while and you can call him and de Marvel cast friends
This was the best of the Simu Liu interviews I have seen.
Ali is the best unique interviewer.
I know Ali has chemistry with literally everyone, but these two genuinely feel like they’d be best friends
His humor in these interviews just makes it clear why he absolutely SMASHED this role
Half the marvel leads were from comedy... Paul Rudd, Chris Pratt, RDJ played Chaplin (does that count)? Plus the other Chris's and Tom Holland are great at comedy. Simu will fit right in (and was hired in large part for this)
Simu Liu definitely needs to be in the Crazy Rich Asians sequels, he'd be perfect for a part in the movie
Are there still going to be sequels? Considering how long it has been 🤔
@@Pipeblau they're still two books left, China Rich Girlfriend and Rich People Problems. I read it, it was damn good, the reason why it took so long because the actors and the director are busy with their other projects. It's hard for them to reunite and do the sequels these days unfortunately but I hope the sequels will be made
@@Erasureeraser
They got actors from Crazy Rich Asians in Shang Chi, so might as well make it go full circle
there will actually...cause I heard some of the actor alrd fly off to singapore
YESS

@@ryanb6614 Agree. We all have to find our strength. It happened that his manager pushed him to find his.
It’s such a humiliating thing and I totally empathized with him when he was telling that story. That kind of thing weighs on you for a while.
Unfortunately it’s so common in Deloitte, IT and in Canada.
I absolutely love watching Ali’s interviews. He’s so respectful and never asks truly invasive or “juicy” questions yet he keeps the interaction interesting and engaging. He’s one of the very few interviewers I can watch that don’t make me hold my breath in fear that they’re going to embarrass themselves or humiliate the actor/interviewee. Also Simu is awesome!
Simu doing interview while eating donut is what the fandom lives for
simu liu is def one of the funniest and most easy going mcu actor. he's so humble and well-spoken on every interview.
Simu tying the karaoke back to the movie was gold. He's such a fantastic improvisor.
Really looking forward in seeing this man’s career taking off
My God! Ali and Simu in the same room. The world can only handle so much charisma
“Your Shang-Chi. How the heck did that happen?”
Classic Ali Plumb opening line 😏
Loved the breath of shock Ali took when hearing about him not having quit, and the even deeper one when he said he got fired.😂
I've seen a lot of Ali's interviews in the past few years, I've seen a lot of Simu's interviews in the past few days, this one was by far one of my favorite of each of them !
Sparkles all over the place !
Ali's done it again. Love the karaoke analogy.
Highly recommend Shang-chi. I'm smiling remembering what a good time it was!
never thought i would ever see ali and simu singing backstreet boys. but here we are! capslock LOL.
In caps
Simu is such a great actor, he’s definitely going to become a Marvel legend
Ali is always amazing at interviewing. These actors are probably dead tired or bored after all their relentless press tours, yet when Ali comes in the conversation is so casual , fun and a little bit personal but still manages to promote the movies very well.
I clicked the thumbnail picture with intentions of seeing a Shang-Chi press run interview, and here i am studying and admiring the interviewer...
I want this man to go places just because of how nice he is.
Simu Liu has such a great never ending charisma
Awww
Everyone's distracted by the Iron Fist cosplayer - can we just take a moment to appreciate how on point the Dr Strange cosplayer got Cumberbatch's stern, eyebrow-y stare? (at 10:00)
Yeah, it was REALLY good. I also thought it was benedict at first.
I had to watch it several times! I thought it was Benedict or a really accurate mask!
That's Cumbermatch!
He's the Doctor Strange cosplayer on tiktok.
He's quite famous actually with his Benedict Cumberbatch cosplay
He does Doctor Strange, Kahn(Star-Trek), Alan Turing(The ImitationGame), Sherlock, Patrick Melrose and other characters too
I'm always so impressed with cosplayers for their intricated costumes, hair and stuff. I think most make their costumes themselves (can't just buy such a high quality costume online. and even if you can, it'd be very expensive), either way, that's a level of dedication and workmanship I couldn't hope to replicate.
@@Red_Sand04 Ha! Cumbermatch - brilliant!

I feel that the thing I found the most attractive about Simu is how grounded and humility he has😍🥺✨
Ali shows he respects the person he is interviewing by coming prepared. It really shows.
He’s so charming! Want more of him😍😍😍😍

Ha he haaa "I didn't quit I was fired" he make me laugh so hard wen he said that and with a smile on his face....😁😁😁😁
Simu makes being charming look so easy, such a wholesome dude!
I discovered Simu on Kim’s Convenience during lockdown. He is so hilarious! His future is bright!
god simu liu is just so charismatic i love him
Wow. Imagine the reaction of his old boss at the accounting firm 🤣 I absolutely admire this dude. Great movie with lots of nuances of Asian culture and diversity within it.
Man, Simu Liu is such a nice guy. I love that he's the star of his own Marvel movie now.
And kuddos to Ali Plumb for making a GREAT interview, as always!!
A dream come true for an incredible display of talent and humility...a Brit interviewing a Canadian 😍 Love BBC and Simu!
Canadians have such a good sense of humor
I instantly thought of Ryan Reynolds lol
Yes we did
@@linglingdeng1856 Oh you nailed it! I was thinking he reminded me of someone but I couldn't think of it!

This is the one interview I always wait for only because of Ali Plumb
Glad to see Ali interviewing people in person again. He really thrives off their energy
I LOVE THESE QUESTIONS AND INTERVIEW!!! ALI IS THE BEST INTERVIEWER EVER LETTING SIMU TAKE HIS TIME TO ANSWER AND BEING SO INTERACTIVE AND LISTENING WELL. ALSO HE RESEARCHED SO MUCH, AMAAZINGGGG I LITERALLY ALMOST SHIPPED THEM LOL
Simu liu is one of the few in Hollywood that genuinely comes across as a stand up dude

He's amaaazing absolutely fell in love with Shang Chi and Now Simu Liu
The “understand the assignment” said with that particular flavor of Chinese hyphenated distain is just *chef’s kiss*.
Simu is just a genuinely great person
Love the banter between them lmaooo they have a similar sense of humour
This is the interview I've been waiting for!
Ali singing the Backstreet Boys is why he’s the best interviewer
Ali you're the best, I honestly think I've enjoyed every single interview I've ever seen you do
Dude threw a great first pitch then back flipped proper at a baseball game. Solid dude.
“Understand the assignment” Simu really is one of us😂😂😂
That was such a wonderful interview on both sides.

Simu is an amazing guy, perfect personality for the MCU, getting RDJ vibes from him, and he plays the part perfectly
just watched the movie yesterday and it was amazing !!! so now i’m binging all his interviews / promotional videos aha
Got home from the cinema to see this released whilst I was out - great movie, great interview!
One of my more favorite interviews you've done lately.

I was waiting for this interview with Ali when I saw the Shang-chi premier in London!
Best interview ever! Casually funny, i love it.
Ali always brings out the best in his guests!
Yesterday at the cinema I missed the name pronunciation scene because I needed a bathroom break, so I'm so glad I watched this interview now xD
Omg Ali’s gasps as he learns of the unfolding Accounting tale 😅😅😅
As a Canadian so proud of Simu Liu! :)
Best interview, Ali! Totally love Simu and his Shang Chi.
Karaoke is indeed the perfect metaphors 😂
Simi is so eloquent! And as always Ali is the best interviewer
it's simu
This was soo lovely!
Literally love Simu, what an awesome guy
I LOVED this!!! The interviewer was sooooo lovely!!! Simu is just hot AF!!! ❤
This interview is so well done!! Thank you for this!
I love this interview!
OK, I gotta admit. This is probably one of the bestintereviews. And Simu makes the best
He's funny, charming, and so cute!
Loved this! Very skilled interviewer
Simu’s laugh is simply delightful ♥️
Ali should get his own tv show because he is just soooooo soooo good at his good. Make it happen please!’
THIS MOVIE IS JUST TOO GOOD really a new marvel era
Best interview with him!! Good job!!
I'm already a fan of Simu Liu. He's so cool!
Go find Kim’s Convenience it’s fantastic
@@Littlebit31 I will, haha
Omg! I haven’t seen an in person interview with Ali in forever!! Yay!! Also, great interview!

I am excited to see this man discuss with us his timeline of his career, when he becomes more succesful.
That was such a good interview. Loved it.
Loved it. The interview was done very well and also Simu speaks very well and confidently which is awesome
This is SUCH a good interview
I really enjoyed this interview 😊😍
