Exclusive Interview with Crank 2's Bad Guy Art Hsu



Hollywire is addicted to Crank!  Um, the movie.  We sat down with Art Hsu, who plays the no-good-heart-stealing Johnny Vang in the sequel Crank: High Voltage, starring Jason Statham and Amy Smart.



The real good guy Art was nice enough to invite us to his home in the Hollywood Hills.  Watch as he tells us about his experience working with hottie Jason Statham. Was there a bit of a bromance going on? Perhaps...

Now--just a side note--his house had our jaws dropping at the amazing modern decor.  He can't take credit for it, though... his girlfriend Sybil was the mastermind.  Leave it up to the ladies, guys.



Not only was she super cute and a gracious hostess, but she even acted as our on set hair and makeup artist!  Oh, and she was the lead singer in a band called Editec in Taiwan.  Talk about a catch!



Syndeee, Terra, Art & Sybil new BFFs in just one day! hahaha...



Wow, look at him here with Jason Statham, Art really does make a good 'evil' man, doesn't he?  So hard to believe it's the same fun loving guy we chatted with.



Watch Part 2 to find out what advice co-star Bai Ling gave him and more about Art's next project, The FP, about two rival Dance Dance Revolution gangs.  Uh oh, DDR... DANGER!
