Why he might be annoying:

    He chose the stage name ‘Lone’ because he was orphaned as a child.
    Some find his looks effeminate.
    His prehistoric makeup for his breakout role in ‘Iceman’ makes him virtually unrecognizable.
    He lost a lead role in ‘Farewell My Concubine’ because he asked for too much money.
    After a string of acclaimed performances in the 1980s, his Hollywood career fizzled out.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He spent his earliest years in a Hong Kong orphanage.
    He began training with the Peking Opera at age seven.
    He avoided stereotypical Asian roles, saying ‘I don’t do Fu Manchu.’
    He became a successful vocalist when he returned to Hong Kong.
    He has produced several popular costume dramas for Chinese television.
