A few days ago in Beijing “2011 LETV film and television awards” Donnie Yen was awarded an honorary title “Best Actor in the Asia-Pacific Region”. He was thrilled that for the first time in his 30 years as an on-screen fighter, his acting was receiving widespread recognition. Ian noted that in recent years he has put all his energy into studying his characters and believed that audiences would notice his efforts.
At the moment, Donnie Yen proposals were received for filming in eight films, as well as in a major Hollywood project (The Expendables 2). He said he would return to filming at the end of September, and the temporary break was taken to relax and “recharge.” He hopes that he will find inspiration and start everything with new strength. He's been offered roles in a lot of films lately, but he doesn't like the overload of work, so he's turned down many of the offers.

Vasdimm in terms of acting skills, he has improved greatly over the last 10 years, but in terms of fighting games, experts even 20 years ago considered him a movie fighter of the highest category. After Bruce Lee, he is one of the few followers who mixed styles (MMA) in his productions, and did an excellent job. I think if it weren’t for the wild popularity of Jackie and his guys, as well as Chow Yun Fat, then Jet, Donnie would have been much more popular in the 80s and early 90s. There was simply no attention left for him from a mass audience.
Well, before Donnie was an unknown and some 4-rate BI actor, but now he is the best actor...
For me personally, the best Hong Kong stars (I mean not only fighters) are Sammo, Donny and Chow Yun Fat. Three talented men. Although the latter does not understand martial arts as much as Sammo and Donnie, he has armor-piercing charisma. The same goes for Donny and Hungg. Very charismatic guys! Together they are the stars of Hong Kong aerobatics!!!
Well done. I respect
It works very well! And his actions are impressive.
Jackie Chan, Sammo, Jet are already legends. And Donny is currently a very capable Asian star!
We can say that now in Hong Kong he is a star of the first magnitude.
Keep it up, Donnie! And Donnie is cool.
