The actor revealed what snack he was munching on when Disney told him he'd booked the role of Shang-Chi.
Liu, who introduced audiences to Marvel's first Asian superhero in the"Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings," said that he was on a mission to"demystify" the snacks that he had grown up loving.
"So many Asian kids, like myself, when we brought these snacks to school, we used to get made fun of because the kids wouldn't know what they were," Liu said."So now we're here to demystify them." Liu showed off snacks like"absolutely delicious" shredded squid and the"delicious, iconic" White Rabbit Candy, as well as the"lunchbox staple" that is Vita's Lemon Tea Drink. Liu also included Japanese rice crackers, which he described as"wonderfully sweet, savory" snacks that resembled rice cakes and, of course, Pocky, the flavor-coated biscuit sticks.
"These are sweet, they're delicious, they're crunchy," Liu said of the Pocky, before chowing down on one."Just how I remember them.""Shrimp crackers are actually exactly what I was eating when I got the call that I was going to play Shang-Chi," said Liu.
"I had a feeling this was going to be the call, so I picked up the phone, and Kevin Feige's voice on the other end, telling me I was going to be Shang-Chi," Liu continued."I basically realized that my life would be changed forever."
