Anthony Wong jokes that he is very dumb to play Ip Man

Commercial Radio yesterday aired an Anthony Wong Chau Sun interview. Since Donnie Yen Chi Tan and Tony Leung Chiu Wai have played the character before, why did he still take the role? "I was half asleep when I agreed out of the blue. After 2 or 3 days of consideration I felt very dumb! Because the distance is great, I am playing the real Ip Man and not a 23 year old Ip Man. No one knows how he was. I played Ip Man who came to Hong Kong in 1949, with a lot of his photos and movies. His figure was very different from mine. If I had to drop to 130 pounds, I would have died and be unable to work."
