Chinese news site Sohu revealed their picks for the best actors of 5 different countries.
On April 26, the large Chinese news site Sohu published an article that pointed out who they believed to be the best male actors of several different countries. From America to Asia, these are the names that earned the most love from this huge Chinese news source.
First, leading the list is the Korean actor Song Joong Ki, who starred in the massive hit “Descendants of the Sun”. According to Sohu, Song Joong Ki is famous for his nice personality and his respect for coworkers, especially seniors and female artists. The actor is often described as a “big brother” to his female co-stars.
Second, the pick for Japan is undeniably the visual god Takuya Kimura. For over a decade, the ageless actor has ruled the Japanese small screen for his stunning visuals and talented acting skills. Sohu also highly praised the actor for his dedication on the filming set, stating that Kimura always eagerly improved his skills and paid close attention to details.
Third, we have the famous actor Leonardo DiCarpio representing the West. Initially, DiCarpio attracted attention for his young and boyish appearance, and was iconic for his 90’s Hunk Hairstyle, which highlighted his charming eyes. Then, the actor truly rose to fame after the movie “Titanic”, and made a deep impression with his romantic image.
For number four, we are tuning into India and Bollywood movies, where Aamir Khan was named as the most memorable. Soha did not hold back their praises for this actor, and even gave him the title of “Bollywood’s treasure”. And true enough, Aamir Khan can play a wide range of characters with different complexities, and managed to shine through even the worst projects.
Finally, Sohu’s pick for China was a surprising name – Stephen Chow. While not highly praised for his visuals, this actor is truly a game changer for the Chinese film industry. During his prime, Stephen Chow was dubbed as “China’s Charlie Chaplin”, and earned the hearts of the public through various comedic works, even kick-starting a whole new genre of comedy that remained popular even now.
