Kinky Sex No Problem as Taiwan’s Wu Kang-ren Is Willing to Shred His Celebrity and Clothes in Service of ‘The Chronicles of Libidoists’ (EXCLUSIVE)


Living out sex fantasies and working with an intimacy coordinator were new experiences for Wu Kang-ren, lead actor on ‘The Chronicles of Libidoists’.

Chinese actor Tang Wei was famously banned for several years in her native country after starring in Ang Lee’s “Lust, Caution,” though her male co-star Tony Leung Chiu-wai was celebrated for it. The source material for 1999 Korean BDSM film “Lies” landed its author in jail, though 25 years later a restored, remastered and uncut version of Jang Sun Woo’s more nihilist movie is now playing the specialty festival circuit. In an interview with Variety, Wu explains why he was willing to shed his clothes and risk shredding his reputation only a year after earning multiple awards for his stellar performances as a deaf man in “Abang Adik” and as a deadbeat husband in “Fly Me to the Moon.”
