“I play an immortal character in The Old Guard with Charlize Theron.

My character just appears for probably two minutes, but I trained a lot for that character. I trained for all the action and delivered my best of the best; not just one hundred, but two hundred.

I’m really excited of the movie and it came out, and I just realized that they pulled me all the way from Vietnam to London and shot all these things for three months,

and I appeared for one minute on screen, and then they drowned me in the freaking ocean for five hundred years—that’s the interesting part of the character.

But the thing is, it kind of payoff because I appeared at the very last scene that is leading us to a sequel, which I hope there will be a sequel. Otherwise, it’s gonna be just one minute. So if you guys likes the movie and comments about Quynh, I’ll have a chance to go back and give more about Quynh— the very first Vietnamese character from a big hollywood project.”
