When filming action scenes in my 40s, I felt some physical limitations and realized that my body did not react as quickly as before. But I still think I can handle the action scenes and I like that. I want to continue playing action roles until I am 70 years old, the actor expressed.
He added: "I used to think that after 10 years, I would become an expert and acting would be easy, but even after 30 years, I still felt like I didn't really understand acting. I want to continue to ask questions, learn and move forward.
