Takeshi Kaneshiro Called ‘Two-Faced' After Ex Flight Attendant Claims He Complained About Her Colleagues For Asking For His Autograph Mid-Flight
This anecdote about enigmatic Taiwanese-Japanese actor Takeshi Kaneshiro has taken flight faster than Singaporeans rushing to chope a table for their 10-pax gatherings on Tuesday.
According to reports, a former flight attendant revealed that her colleague once served the 48-year-old actor on business class.
As she was a fan, she approached him for an autograph. Soon after, another flight attendant, who was working in the economy class section, also went up to actor to ask for an autograph.
Talk about fangirl goals, right?
Tales from an ex flight attendant
According to the ex flight attendant, the actor was very obliging and polite. However, when he was disembarking the plane, Takeshi turned to the chief steward to complain about the two attendants for disturbing his rest.
While recounting the story, the former flight attendant spoke up for her colleagues, questioning Takeshi's behaviour.
She said she could not understand why he appeared so cordial and polite while signing the autographs, only to turn around and complain about them later.
C'mon, let the guy live his life in peace
There were netizens who sided with the attendant, writing that the actor could have just turned down the requests if he was displeased by their behaviour.
However, a large number of netizens felt that the attendants were “unprofessional” and had taken advantage of their position.
Others pointed out that the actor has always been very private, and definitely would not appreciate being interrupted while trying to rest on a plane.
Takeshi has not appeared in any projects since the 2017's This Is Not What I Expected. He wrapped filming for upcoming movie Sons Of The Neon Night in 2018, but the film has yet to be released due to production issues.
He also shot two campaigns — one for a tea brand, and the other for mobile game Paradise 2M. Apart from that, he has not made any public appearance.
And the next celeb in the hot seat is...
Rene Liu was also mentioned by the former flight attendant, who shared a pretty bizarre encounter a colleague had with the Taiwanese singer-actress.
For some reason, it appeared that the 51-year-old, who was born and bred in Taiwan, insisted that she could not understand Mandarin, and would only communicate with the flight attendants in English.
This, of course, caused quite a bit of trouble for the attendants. (P/S: Rene graduated from California State University with a degree in music and is pretty fluent in English).
However, netizens have since said that they find it hard to believe that Rene would pull such a move, even asking the former flight attendant to provide “proof" to back up her claim.
