Zhang Ziyi learnt English swear words courtesy of Eminem
gudangrental:
Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi has revealed she taught herself English by listening to Eminem.
The star of films like Memoirs Of A Geisha and Hero admitted she picked up some naughty words when she played the foul-mouthed rapper's CDs.
"It's normal. The first thing you want to learn is bad words!" she told The Independent.
Zhang, 29, also revealed she's keen to shake off her action star tag after starring in films like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2003) and House Of Flying Daggers (2004).
"I do think I can act," she says. "I have the skill to do original roles. I don't just want to kick ass on the screen. I'm looking for something interesting and difficult."
The actress can next be seen in martial arts epic The Banquet, playing an Empress.
"She was so different to me. That was something that really attracted me to play this role," she says of her character. "The age difference and experience... her life is so complicated. There was room for me to act and to play with the character. As an actor, you feel fortunate to get a role like this one."
The Banquet opens in UK on April 11.
