With a healthy image, handsome face and Japan's coolest haircut, Takeshi Kaneshiro(金城武)is one of Asia's most attractive stars.
When “Turn Left Turn Right”(《向左走向右走》)opens in Chinese cinemas next month, there's no doubt the 29-year-old boy will get even more attention.
Takeshi stars as John, a lonely violin player who falls in love with a translator called Eve, played by Gigi Leung(梁咏琪).
Many of Takeshi's fans like to copy his haircut, clothes and even his smile.But they will find it hard to copy the way he plays the violin in the movie.He impressed his director To Keifung(杜琪峰)by learning to play the violin in a few weeks.
This attitude to hard work is one of the reasons why Takeshi is such a good role model for young people.Like many young people, he values friendship more than anything else.“My best friends are my former schoolmates,” he once said, “We became close when we were at school and will be friends forever.”
Besides his good looks and hairstyle, he is well known for his healthy image.He started his acting career at the young age of 15 but, unlike other pop stars, he has rarely behaved badly.He stays away from drugs, alcohol and cigarettes.Violence, rude words and dirty jokes seldom appear in his movies.
“I hated foreign language classes when I was in school, but now I find speaking several languages helps me a lot in my career,” he said.For someone who only took up acting, Takeshi has come far.No doubt his star will rise even higher.

A 15-year-old girl has walked across an Arctic(北极的)island quicker than her father -one of Britain’s top explorers.Her name is Alicia Hempleman-Adams.
Alicia took 10 days to walk and ski 240 kilometers across Baffin Island in northeastern Canada.Her success has made her the youngest person to complete the crossing on foot and skis.However, this isn’t her first world record.At 8, she was brought to meet her father at the end of his 600-mile journey to the North Pole and became the youngest person ever to reach the place.
As an explorer, Mr.Hempleman-Adams knew well how hard it was for his daughter to gain such a success.
He said, “Because I’ve done the route.I know all the dangers.I didn’t sleep for days knowing she was out there and thinking of all the things that could have gone wrong.What she’s achieved is really great.This teenager girl is only one hundred and five pounds and being that thin you feel the cold more.”
Mr.Hempleman-Adams said that he was very proud of Alicia but also a bit ‘angry’ that his daughter had completed the journey faster than him.
During the trip, the 15-year-old girl met a lot of difficulties.Her most frightening moment came when she and her teammates, including her PE teacher Jo Simmons, had to cross a lake covered with a thin layer(层)of ice.
At the end of her trip, Alicia said that she was glad to have returned.“It was really great to get back to society and a hot shower,” she said.“It was quite weird(怪异)out there when there was nothing around - no buildings, no people, no animals, and nothing else.”
Will the young girl start a job in exploration later?No.“I want to try other things first,” she said.
