FANGIRLING SIMU LIU

Marvel took over San Diego Comic-Con in a very big way last weekend. They announced a slew of Phase 4 projects that has all of us Marvel fangirls excited for the future. One movie caught my attention: Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. The newest Marvel superhero is Simu Liu and he deserves to be fangirled for a whole slew of reasons.

There I was, sleepless at 3 AM, watching Kim’s Convenience (which deserves its own fangirl episode just like Schitt’s Creek!) and thinking- wow, this is our newest superhero? 

Cause Simu Liu was hilarious, charming, and just delightful— and I was ready to learn more about him. 

Especially since he’s going to be the lead in Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. 

So I did what I always do- peep social media. Simu is not only an active user, but he’s also hilarious and totally worth the follow. 

You can find him on Twitter @SimuLiu

OK @Marvel, are we gonna talk or what #ShangChi

Oh, that’s right- he totally put that out into the universe in December. See? Twitter’s not all bad, y’all!

Here I found his previous work as a stock photo model. 

And that he loves basketball. 

And that he has a dog he adores– awwwee!

But mostly I found that he’s a good person with big goals and dreams. 

When you want to be a superhero but you’re an accountant, I suppose most of us wouldn’t figure out how to get from ledgers to red carpets. But that’s just what he did.

And give Barkley’s dad a follow too. Loved hearing this story from Simu. Good lesson, especially for kids who are struggling to figure life out.

A couple weeks back I had the opportunity to sit down in San Francisco and talk about what it means to give yourself permission to pursue your dreams. As a chronic underachiever, I always thought I was stupider than my classmates. In reality, I just wasn’t engaged. Once I found my passion and embraced my greatness I became unstoppable. And you can too. Thank you to @raywong.photo and @kollabsf for the chat, and make sure you check out the link to the full interview on their profile! #ownyourgreatness #simuliu #kollabsf

Call @Alanis Morissette because I just died from irony. I did a stock photo shoot in 2014 and it ended up here. I used to be an accountant. pic.twitter.com/2spNQuG4MH
