    • So tired and totally jetlagged from our long flight, but really excited about shooting a cameo in my first Chinese movie called "the Rookies" in Budapest, Hungary! I've never been here before and I have to say, if you ever get the opportunity to come, take it! It's one of the most spectacular cities I've ever seen and a must-see for lovers of European history and architecture! Enjoy the pics! m (Oct 2)


    • #bossladies I had to snap this selfie cause it's just so rad of my stunt double, Tongyao and I on set for this all Chinese movie.#therookies Im working on! She's such a Rockstar and I'm just trying to keep up, cause the stunts here in China are off the charts cool and pretty darn challenging. But so far so killin it.#beijingdiary (Dec 8)
