Bruce Lee would have told people to chill and put aside their political differences, brother says on legend's 75th birthday
Kung fu legend would tell Hongkongers to chill and put aside their differences, his brother says
Bruce Lee would have told divided Hongkongers to put aside their conflicts and focus on moving forward if he was still alive today, says his younger brother.
Speaking to the Post on the eve of the kung fu legend's 75th birthday, Robert Lee said Bruce would have wanted to see his home city continue to evolve and not be dragged down by political differences.
"Knowing my brother's personality, he would probably make a joke out of all this," Robert, 66, said on the phone from Los Angeles.
"He would tell people to chill and not be stiff, live their lives and not try to stop [things from happening]." He then quoted one of the screen icon's most famous quotes - "Walk on".
