“The warrior can never find peace. He just can’t.”

The actor also added that he cannot avoid the emotional and physical vulnerabilities that come with aging. He added,  

“He’s always getting hurt, but now he’s getting older, so he’s getting hurt even more.”

“I may be doing a movie in China soon. Top secret. A big one.”

Without sharing many details, the actor revealed that the movie would be set in Hong Kong.

He added,

“Right now, a lot of guys go over there [to China] to do action movies, but I think you could do more than that – do more suspense, more of a story.

I think I’ve found the combination. It’s more like a ‘Blade Runner,’ because when you’re dealing with two mixed cultures at the same time….I don’t want to tip it off, but it’s f—ing cool.”
