Edison Chen Unmasked In The Dark Knight

“Did Morgan Freeman really just ask me for Cecilia Cheung’s number??”

He’s cocky, style-obsessed, and loves him some Asian girls—of course Hong Kong star Edison Chen is cool with Complex. In fact, we were down with the actor/singer/streetwear dude way before he became notorious for waving his willy over Hong Kong’s most beautiful starlets on digital film (Google “edison chen scandal”—you won’t be disappointed).

After his sex pics leaked earlier this year, the notorious E.D.I. was (allegedly) chased out of H.K. by the angry gangsters who run the city’s entertainment industry. But not before filming a blink-and-you-miss-it role in The Dark Knight , in the scene in which Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman) arrives in China to talk business. Edison’s 2-second role as “LSI VP” is hardly memorable, but it may have been one of the last times he’s rolled comfortably in Hong Kong. In recent weeks he’s been spotted in Boston, and rumor has it that he may be attending NYU. If you see him, give him a pound. Watch a breathless Chinese news clip from Dark Knight’s H.K. set below.
