i dunno if Justin was lying about being a fan (i wouldn't doubt if he was) but he DID pronounce "manga" wrong. as for him not doing the Kamehameha...it IS kind of disturbing. i understand he might have been nervous or intimidated but at the same time, he's the star of the movie. i doubt Hugh Jackman would be so shy to do a Wolverine pose if they had asked for it. it kind of shows that Chatwin doesn't have strong optimism for the role he portrayed.
doing a fighting pose and doing a kamehameha infront of the cameras is a something different IMO.
it definitely was, but he's the biggest star of the film by far and it's in Asia so i could see why he was the main focus.
it wouldn't have been awkward if he could do it convincingly. Kristen Kruek did a stupid knee/punch combination on a dude dressed in drag as Chun Li to promote the Street Fighter movie, but Chatwin can't give the audience a taste of the most popular attack in Dragon Ball lore? what kinda mess is that? Chow was willing to do it, so it's not as if he had to do it alone.
someone who had already been familiar with martial arts and learning how to express yourself through kiah's (yelling) wouldn't have felt so uncomfortable doing that in front of cameras and an audience. Tony Jaa does exhibition performances and choreography in front of live audiences all the time and he does a lot more stunts and dangerous things than just posing and yelling. if Chatwin had felt confident in how he performs the kamehameha then it would've resonated with the room and it could've tore the house down. instead he opted to be shy and give some excuses for why he can't be seen doing something he's gonna be seen doing in the movie anyway.
i think it had more to do with the fact that noone asked them anything about the movie . only about Yun-Fat Chow
