Simu Liu reacts to big Gold Mogul honour

For Simu Liu, it was not an easy path to Hollywood. But he has a strong support system in his struggling days.

As the Marvel star won the prestigious Gold Mogul award at the Gold House Gold Gala, he had a special regard for them.

In his acceptance speech, Liu adds, “The only reason that I’m here is 10% being too stubborn to give up."

"And 90%, the most amazing support system. I’ve been thinking a lot about what community means to me.”

Over his decade-long career, the 37-year-old became a standout voice for the Asian Pacific in the industry.

He further looks back at his days of challenges: "I first came to Canada 32 years ago and lived in a ramshackle apartment building in Ontario with a lot of other Chinese grad students.”

“I learned from a very young age that a community stands together. A community supports one another."

"It does not collapse in on itself. It does not tear itself down. I look out at this room, and I am just struck by how much power there is power in our storytellers, our champions, our leaders, and our taste-makers, but only together can we fully unleash the potential of that power," Liu concludes.
