Sometimes, even a Marvel hero can’t catch a break.<\/p>\n

Simu Liu<\/a>, who reprises his role as Shang-Chi in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday<\/em><\/a> film, recalls he once brought shame to the family and paid dearly for it.<\/p>\n

“The level of shame in Asian standards would be like if I was addicted to meth and on the street,” he told Seth Meyers on Late Night<\/em> recently. “They’re the same. I’m trying to level this out for you guys what it was like in our household. It was bad.”<\/p>\n

What had he done to upset the family harmony?<\/p>\n

He started acting.<\/p>\n

Liu related that he recently visited China with his family for the first time in 15 years and was able to visit a grandmother he hadn’t seen in a very long time.<\/p>\n

“I felt really guilty about not coming back sooner,” Liu said. “Although, in my defense, when I lost my job as an accountant and then started to act and audition, I did become kind of like a black sheep in the family. And I was disinvited from these family trips for a really long time.”<\/p>\n
