Leung has been enjoying growing popularity in Holly-wood circles since his successful performance in Zhang Yimou’s “Hero,” which has earned him a reputation in Western media as an Asian Marlon Brando.

Recently in the United States to promote “2046,” Leung said he had nothing in common with the dandy character he plays in the film.
