It could be a little early to say this, but singer-turned actor Vanness Wu Jian-hao could be as big as Lucy Liu one day.

F4, the Taiwanese boy band he belongs to, has brought him fame across Asia. His recent duet with Beyonce on Crazy In Love gives the 24-year-old American-born Taiwanese his first taste of international recognition.

With the same kind of Asian face as Liu, a perfect command of English and the ability to kick butt on the big screen, it's not hard to believe that Wu could be the next big thing, although his new film, Star Runner, is only his debut.

Wu is in Hong Kong for a day to meet the press promoting his new movie, directed by Daniel Lee.

The word on the grapevine is that he hopes to scoop some 'best newcomer' awards next year.

Despite Wu's constant denials, the huge pair of yellow shades he wears cannot hide his ambition.
