Johnny Tri Nguyen tells the story of the "thong underwear" that caused "shock"

Recently, the news that Johnny Tri Nguyen will be present at the Manga Comic Con Vietnam event (taking place at the end of July in Ho Chi Minh City) as a guest surprised fans.

Once known as the "king of Vietnamese martial arts films" that caused a stir at the box office, Johnny Tri Nguyen has been completely absent from the movies for many years. He also does not participate in Vietnamese showbiz activities, but instead retreats to take care of his Lien Phong martial arts school.

Information about him in the press mainly revolves around his presence in MMA Lion Championship tournaments as a coach and supporter of his "disciples" in competition.

Within the framework of the event revolving around "Superhero" for the first time on a big stage, Johnny Tri Nguyen will share behind-the-scenes stories about his stunt work in the two movies Spider Man 1 and Spider Man 2.

Before becoming a famous actor in Vietnam, Johnny Tri Nguyen spent a long time as a stuntman in many Hollywood movies.

He has been a stunt double for characters in series such as Spider-Man 1 (stunt double for Green Goblin), Spider-Man 2 (stunt double for Spider-Man in the fight on the roof of the high-speed train), We Were Soldiers, Ella Enchanted, Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation, Collateral, Color Blind, Serenity, Jarhead, The Perfect Sleep,...

Regarding his role as Spider Man's stunt double in Spider Man 2, Johnny Tri Nguyen said: "I remember the first time I went in for a costume fitting to replace him in Spiderman 2, the costume guys gave me a thong. I asked, "Why do I have to wear this?!" and they said, "Spider-Man's costume is too tight, wearing regular underwear will make you look fat." After trying on the costume, I told them, "When I put this on, it keeps going into my crotch, it's so uncomfortable I can't fly! You guys spent millions of dollars researching Spiderman's costume, why didn't you also research underwear?!"

So the guys ran around for days to find a pair of high-end boxers for me, wearing which you couldn't see the bulges. When filming, I wore these boxers and Tobey Maguier wore thongs. After filming, I couldn't take the Spiderman suit back, but I took the boxers as a souvenir."

At the "Manga Comic Con" event, in addition to Johnny Tri Nguyen, there were also director Charlie Nguyen, Japanese actor Noboru Kaneko who played Gao Do in the "Superman Gao" series, actor Masahiro Inoue who played Kamen Rider Decade, the owner of the cat My Dieu who "caused a fever" in the online community at one time, and many international cosplayers such as Hi‌rakin (Singapore), Yosuke Sora (Singapore), Thames Malerose (Thailand), Kiyo (Singapore),...

The two Japanese actors who play Red Gao and Kamen Rider Da‌cade will also be present at the event.

In addition, the event also featured "huge" model exhibitions to satisfy fans of blockbuster movies. These include the famous Batmobile Tumbler supercar model of Batman, the Batpod car and Batman armor worth billions of VND, or the diorama model simulating the battle in the movie "How to Train Your Dragon" with the largest size and sophistication in Asia...
