Simu Liu is currently a well-known actor, most famously starring in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, yet his journey began in an entirely distinct profession. In a recent humorous comment, he admitted to being let go from his accounting job only eight months into it. During a chat on the Today show on February 25, Craig Melvin inquired if Liu’s friends still sought his financial advice.
Liu shared that he studied accounting in school, worked as an accountant for eight months, but unfortunately, he was let go. He chuckled and joked, “If you’re interested in tax fraud, feel free to hire me for your taxes! I’d be more than happy to help, though keep in mind, the returns may not be accurate.
Melvin wanted to know from Simu Liu why he got dismissed so soon from his job in accounting, and Liu revealed that he had taken a day off to act as an extra in a film without informing anyone about it.
According to Liu, he responded to a notice on Craigslist for an extra role in Guillermo del Toro’s film Pacific Rim. He then switched his phone off.
In a moment of carelessness, Liu assumed no one would try to contact him, only to find 42 missed phone calls waiting for him at the end of the day once he reactivated his phone. Aware of the potential repercussions, Liu acknowledged his actions were imprudent and feared he may no longer have a job due to this incident.
Prior to embarking on an acting career, Liu had previously held the position of an accountant at Deloitte, a renowned consulting company. His parents, Zheng and Zhenning, admired his secure professional path. Yet, being let go and opting for acting wasn’t a smooth shift in careers.
In a 2022 chat on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Liu candidly discussed the challenge he faced in informing his parents about his job loss.
Initially, he attempted to sidestep the dialogue, however, as it turned out, he could no longer evade it when the television advertisement he featured in was moments away from being aired. In retrospect, he acknowledged that the talk didn’t turn out smoothly.
As a devoted follower of my craft, I’ve recently found myself graced with significant roles in blockbuster productions such as Shang-Chi, Barbie, and most recently, Last Breath. In the forthcoming movie, I have the privilege to work alongside Woody Harrelson, portraying a deep-sea diver on a mission to rescue a fellow diver who’s been trapped underwater.
