When you're eating snacks in a serious movie, it's like a badass trait that everything the character is doing which is supposed to be stressful but he takes it in a relaxed approach like "I got this"
I think that is the same effect smoking was supposed to impart on him, like in initial D, when Bunta "just feels like having a smoke" as he casually lights one up while drifting around mount akina.
@@Treaxvour It can go both ways. It *can* seem casual and confident, but personally, I smoke when I'm stressed and need to calm down. Snacking is basically a universal "This scenario ain't shit. We good."
@@Raiden_Phoenix889What if the younger generation got so influenced the fact he is eating and they became obese, that's worse than smoking then, yeah good influence he is on the youth😂
This makes me appreciate this man so much more because he actually cares about the power and influence that he has and not being a negative role model bless this man.
How would he have behaved if he wasn't "real and genuine"? Seems to me you possess a supernatural clairvoyance that enables you to detect when people aren’t being real just from having a few seconds encounter with them.
This guy 100% is cool. The fact that he envisions his own character’s influence on the audience is how great an actor he is. Now I carry a licorice whip like a badass because of him. 😂
I really respect him for understanding the position of power he’s in. It’s also very creative and honest of him to keep the character’s past and show him working to change. I think that’s a lot more meaningful and relatable than retconing the character in this case.
Love how responsible he is with the character and what he wants to portray to impressionable people. The snacking choice was a good one and it looks way cooler than a smoker!
You’re in a movie about racing sick looking imports and fighting underworld criminal gangs but smoking is more impressionable on the youth apparently…..🙄 actors 😑
@@BrillaPeace Snacking is normal, smoking is an addiction. You won't get addicted to eating sweets if that's your argument, and if you do it ain't that hard to quit.
It’s awesome to see the level of character this actor has, to be concerned about what impact he will have on young viewers and consciously make a decision make a change for the is amazing. I wish all persons with this level of influence would follow his lead to mentor youth with positive examples. My hats off to this fine actor 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🫶🏼✌🏽
Him snacking on something always made sense for his character for some reason. A keen to his character. Better that than smoking. It's was just cool for him snacking no matter where he was. See now this is the reason why they brought Han back 😁 in the newer fast and furious movies. Great positive influence by the actor and his character.
literally my favorite character since Tokyo Drift and Dom said it best “we need a Chameleon, someone who can blend in” he the most chillest character outta the whole series love him, he doesn’t talk unless spoken too, eats whatever he’s wants, he’s there for moral support, he’s literally just the definition of a CHAMELEON ‼️💯 thank you Sung Kang
Han made it feel badass to be a 10 year old eating fruit snacks standing next to a car, he hit it right on the money that it probably wasn’t the best way to influence that audience on top of all the other crazy stuff you saw in those movies. Shoutout to Sung!
I absolutely adore Sung Kang. His an amazing actor and to know that he chose to have Han snacking instead of smoking shows that he genuinely cared about the message he'd be sending to young impressionable minds. Not just an awesome actor but also a wonderful person.
Dude I love this. I remember the line where Han says I gotta have my hands going to my mouth because I used to smoke during the scene when the team is trying to get the handprint in fast 5. I love the reasoning you chose to change the character. What a great way to be conscious of your influence on youth
I love that the director listened to you on the influence the character could have on smoking! And as someone who lost a parent due to the side effects of smoking, I applaud you for standing up against smoking not being “cool”. Thank you!
Oh now this is what you call a fun fact ...this is freaking wholesome. I've actually always wondered why Han was forever snacking. I love this train of thought for him ❤❤❤
Totally agree, he is definitely sexy and the fact that he cared about what message he'd be sending to young minds if he was smoking shows that his just as beautiful on the inside as he is on the outside...
That's AMAZING that he thought of the influence it would bring to the large young audience and used his power to do the right thing... Wow... Hats off to you...

In all fairness, he looks cool eating snacks
You are not wrong. I always seen it as like a chill but badass and wise flex because the way he calmly eats his snacks.
Better than smoke, fucking smoker
I’m picturing it now….. my god, the stock for Chex mix was probably through the roof
Yes that is why young generations who watched han are fat now.
so true. he is han actually
This man has ethics and understood his influence on the viewer. Respect.
🙌
Except the illegal racing? 😂
@@jw7268 To be fair everything illegal in those movies are kind of harder to do compared to just smoking. You're more likely to see teens smoking compared to them street racing lol
Encouraging obesity over smoking is obviously the better choice. Han isn't snacking on carrots and dips after all.
@@adoboflakes8473yeah i dont know where tf you live but little morons in fast cars is a major problem all over.
It looks way better when you're eating snacks. This is fucking genius 😂😂
Now I know why I'm addicted to snacks and candy lol
Well people who used to chain smoke do eat snacks or constant have a pen or pencils I. Their mouth or hand to simulate a cigarette
now chain snacking is cool
We all know buying a snack is more cheap and that is simple and clean to do
Nah smoking weed is better
Not only did he help with a respectable change because of the influence he has on the youth he also he helped come up with a brilliant backstory as to why Han stopped smoking
The snacks added more character than smoking ever could.
Very true, it made him more intriguing and fun.
Smoking bad.. killing people and doing extremely dangerous missions while breaking all sort of laws=ok .. lol be real
But its fact that characters that smokes tends to be more popular
Agree 100%
1000th like
The snacks provide a well laid back vibe about his character which is dope
True true
100%
It really does
He does really feel like the most laid back person in Fast 3 and arguably every movie he appeared in, i don't remember one single fight involving him
@@LotsOfToubleUsuallySeriousThere was one when they were taking down Shaw
Respect for this man. He understands the influence a character can have on an audience.

he made eating snacks look way cooler than smoking xD
Thats exactly what he just said
Such a cool guy, notice he is still eating snacks 🤣
Guess he got addicted lol 😅😂
Its an excuse to eat while filming
he's in character, he never stopped
Looking out for the youth is just an excuse to snack on set. 😂
@@BenLee-xj7zm Hey not seeing a downside here, two birds, still better than smoking.
This is what it looks like when you don’t sell-out. Kudos to him for thinking about the youth.
lollllll
They brought han back into the series because a group of kids came up to him and justin lin and they realized how big of a fan favorite he was
Yeah racing for women killing and illegally driving and promoting bad health with junk food totally thinking about youth 😅

Love an actor who has strong and moral ethics
"I left the army around the same time you quit smoking."
- Gisele to Han in Fast 5
You gotta admit. They have some decent writers.
I was gonna say, they gave us somewhat of an origin story in F5
It's also a real life joke about the actors, not just a joke on the character of Han. Gal Gadot got out of the army at around the same time he was doing Tokyo Drift. That joke had layers.
@@halycon404 Ah, that's what the kids are calling it these days. "Doing the Tokyo Drift."

That’s insanely thoughtful and considerate. Makes me like him that much more as a human and actor.
Right? We as adults have to be very cautious what we say or do because the younger generation are easy to be influenced.

You have my utmost respect, sir! Going against the grain to do what’s right. We need more role models like you on the silver screen.
Met him IRL and he's every bit as genuine and real as this. Awesome guy.
I would hope so this was an interview he wasn’t acting
How would he have behaved if he wasn't "real and genuine"?
Seems to me you possess a supernatural clairvoyance that enables you to detect when people aren’t being real just from having a few seconds encounter with them.

Wow he change the smoking into eating snacks I love it why he’s my favorite character 🏎️💨
Yes that, and if he was 🚬 again it can be argued that this is practically the same character from Better Luck Tomorrow.
Love how responsible he is with the character and what he wants to portray to impressionable people. The snacking choice was a good one and it looks way cooler than a smoker!
If a movie character makes you smoke, you seriously need to reevaluate your life
@ralfiejr34 unfortunately kids have a monkey see, monkey do mentality.
This movies was very impressionable on me. Now I’m fat

I get the point, but no way in hell you will convince me that this looks cooler than John Constantine in the Keanu Reeves movie.

Now, this is how media can be used to influence. Love this!
what a legendary move to change the script up on the person who presented it for moral reasons. 👏
Now it's no surprise that he has been my favorite character in Tokyo Drift since my childhood. Just a great person!
It's funny watching him snack because every time he reaches for whatever everyone is captivated by that delicious looking thing 😂❤
which is the real reason he eats, not the BS he just said
He’s actually a really nice person when you meet him. Very kind
Bro made eating snacks cool 😂

that chill vibe is what i like no f given no harm just pure fun
Well done man 👏🏽
What a smart and honest man right there, he understood the assignment, he’s definitely one to follow
Caring for his young fans makes him even that much cooler. 😎
I feel the nonchalant hand juggling of snacks is just as memorable as the cars he drove.
Perfect switch and it messhed vary well. Gave him more lines without adding dialog.
