Before Romeo Must Die,
@jetli was already a huge action star across Asia. But in a new interview, he shared that filming in Hollywood was still a learning experience, especially working in English for the first time as a lead actor.
Li said
@aaliyah helped him rehearse scenes while they worked on the movie together. He also remembered hanging out after filming with her, her mother and his brother nearby, saying the whole set felt “very warm.”
Released in 2000, Romeo Must Die became Aaliyah’s first movie role. She also recorded “Try Again” for the soundtrack, which later became her first No. 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100.
Aaliyah died the following year in a plane crash at age 22. More than 20 years later, Li says she is still “always in my heart.”
