Move over, Gen Z—89-year-old model Wang Deshun is stealing the spotlight in China’s blockbuster animation sequel ‘Ne Zha 2’! 🎬 The silver-haired icon, known for his runway swagger, has now voiced the mystical Immortal Wuliang Xianweng, adding a touch of real-life legend to the animated realm.
In an exclusive interview with CGTN, Wang shared how he initially had ‘no clue’ about his character’s identity when tapped for the role. ‘I walked into the studio thinking, ‘Who am I even playing?’’ he laughed. But under the director’s guidance, Wang unraveled Wuliang Xianweng’s complex personality—a divine figure balancing wisdom and mischief. 🤯
Wang’s gravelly voice and theatrical flair breathed life into the immortal, proving age is just a number in creativity. ‘Every line felt like painting a new stroke on a centuries-old scroll,’ he mused. The film, a cultural phenomenon across Asia, blends ancient mythology with modern animation—a hit among young audiences craving fresh takes on tradition. 🏯✨
