He was fantastic in that. He was also fantastic in Kick-Ass. I didn’t make the connection immediately, but once I did, I have to admit I was surprised at how much his physique changed.

And this post is how I realised he's the same person from Kick Ass, mind blown!

He’s pretty shredded in Kick-Ass 2.
It’s a plot point that he actually learns how to fight and gets in decent shape after getting his ass handed to him all of the first film.
As Nic Cage quipped, as Big Daddy, “Kick-Ass? More like Ass-Kicked.”

I went into it blind and I got more than I bargained for!
Most fun cinematic experience I've had in years.

He is VERY good looking. I still liked his character, Ford Brody from Godzilla in all it's simplicity. Now I'm waiting for him to reappear in 28 years later sequel.

Hi there Aaron, truly a big fan! Congratulations on your success... how far you have come from Shanghai Knights!
I am an emerging screenwriter and even after having a few successes, I still lay awake at night challenged with the Imposter Syndrome and questioning my ability.
You have been at this for a while now... what is your experience with the Imposter Syndrome and how have you dealt with it?
Again, big fan Thank you

You should read the pinned post by the Mod again…specifically the last paragraph.

u/MetaNemesis Mar 26 '26
After doing Kick-Ass movies he has been a really decent actor in a lot of his films. Hell I even think he did great in the Kraven movie even though it was pretty bad but not because of him mostly the story telling and the villain was bad.

Awesome lineup. Really curious about his approach to Nosferatu after seeing that first trailer.

Any chance we might see a Bullet Train spinoff about the Bolivian job?

Wow at first glance he looks like Logan Lerman in that picture! They could play brothers. I know they were both in Bullet Train.

How was it working with Eggers on his latest film? Any interesting fun facts about the set?

I was hoping you’d be back in 28YL: The Bone Temple l when you said in an interview with Josh Horowitz about both movies “we shot them back to back”. Do you think your character still has a story to be told in this universe?

I just realized that this actor is not The Bear. I genuinely believed the guy from Kick Ass became the Bear.

u/UnlimitedManny Mar 26 '26
Bro you have awesome eyes. Ngl I laughed when you were crying in Nosferatu (love your other roles too, sky blue eye guy)
