Working With Jet Li

This is an conversation from one of the extras from James Wongs 'The One'. Enjoy;

I did both unfortunately I didn't see him do a fight scene. I spent 12 hrs with him on set of 'The One". We were in the hospital, Great set. I had fun! I was doing my mooching in it, but all the same thrilled to be there.

It was almost exactly one year to the day since I started truly watching his films avidly & the actors on scene with him would come to me with pen & paper asking what films of Jet do I recommend as Jet watches us!!! Oh he understood totally funny.

Boy I was like 2 feet away from him as he did that scene with his screen wife. unheard of to be done on set. He is very alert, his eyes don't miss a trick. I bet he already case the joint to know where all the exits are. He is very attractive, boyish & great body! Well proportioned for his size. I'm taller than him so he kept looking at me. I had Bet he already figured out my weight, height etc and how to throw me over his shoulder!

We were quiet in the morning, he had lines & he was constantly with his dialogue coach. At lunch as I was leaving I saw his HK crew come in famished getting food. There was around about a dozen of them. Corey's boys, they pulled the wires! All young. Thin, strong and obviously they were just rehearsing. I recognized one of them from Hitman & He run up to me. put down his tray & we chatted. He and his others laughed & each introduced themselves to me. All of them had these English Christian names, like Richard (guy I was talking to), James and so on. No egos, charming, good vibes and earthy I was Really thrilled I loved their films! He even walked me back to the set and I had to tell him to go eat his lunch!

Later I learnt he was/is Jet's childhood friend. No wonder he always has a scene with Jet in almost all his films being killed. Seen him in Kiss Of The Dragon in the Bateau Moache scene this Chinese guy out of nowhere (that's him) and in Hitman and Fist of Legend, where Jet crushed his Balls.

Later in the afternoon I was mostly alone with Jet as crew set up the camera track & lighting. He was praying with his beads in his hand. This time no dialogue why the coach was gone. I had a funny chatter with Jet, which I can't write here. even director laughed! as we were rehearsing! Oh he (Jet) is funny. I was able to check him out very well bum of steal! I tell you...in that uniform I could see all his muscles..& he is so little. He kept looking at my feet...& figuring out my mix I'm sure as I am Eurasian.

Later the HK crew arrived & filled up the hallway, they were going to show director the fight scene for another scene. When asked what they were going to do reply up to Jet, they just follow Corey, who was there as well. He's a bit out of shape now. Well-poached belly, Ha! All that good food. He came up to me with a huge grin. Funny & the chaps seeing me and all said Hello. The director just laugh! Nice bunch of guys. The Director was/is Chinese, but American… James Wong & his first AD too. All in all good day at the office. As for Jet I started talking to him, he started blushing & giggling. I'm telling you as we were playing a little game of checking each other out! All expressionless, all good fun, harmless and beforehand.

I love doing this job! I've done it to a few big Stars. What a riot! All in all Jet is a nice man. Rather sexy & he likes boobs!!!! oh well his wife has a good pair! & a great body. Surprise! Surprise! I'm 5'8 so I'm really taller than his 5'4 ha! Oh yeah, he has beautiful hands noticed this in his films. But in person really lovely no mark on him, no scratches nothing. Perfect real man's hands too! bet his wife gives him lovely manicures! Small feet & boy can he kick!!!!!
