THE new Hollywood film Bangkok Dangerous was shot amid a military coup in the capital city of Thailand in 2006. However, by the time violence exploded on the streets, lead actress Charlie Young had already completed her scenes and was back home in Hong Kong. So all she had were merely fond memories of filming there before the coup. 'Fun' was the word she kept repeating in a phone interview with The New Paper on Wednesday. After all, she got to visit temples, go sightseeing and even feed elephants, together with her Hollywood co-star Nicolas Cage.
In the movie, she plays a mute Thai pharmacist who falls for an American assassin played by Cage. Charlie, 34, described him as a gentleman who took good care of the people around him. 'His eyes were mesmerising. I had to keep looking into his eyes because I couldn't talk to him, we could only interact with our eyes,' she said.
