For the role in the 2000 drama In the Mood for Love, Leung won the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival. Leung and Kar-wai made history in eight classic films, including Chungking Express (1994), Happy Together (1997), In the Mood for Love (2000), 2046 (2004), and The Grandmaster (2013).
Leung is known for his collaborations with Hong Kong masters like John Woo and Derek Lee, but the actor's frequent collaborations with director Wong Kar-wai are perhaps his most famous. The actor made his Hollywood (and English language) debut in Marvel's 2021 superhero film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings – but he has been mesmerizing audiences in Asia and in arthouses across the globe for decades. Tony Leung Chiu-wai has been described as Asia's Clark Gable and a beloved icon of Hong Kong cinema.
