This superstar son's was set to get married, but he died, one film ruined his life, both son and father are now dead, his name was…, his father was…

The story of an actor is something that will shake you up. There were 17 days left for his wedding. He was the son of a superstar. Like every day, that day too, he was on the set for the shooting of the film. His mind was thinking of completing all the work before the wedding and then spending some leisure time with the family. But everything changed in a moment. During the shooting, a bullet was fired and the superstar's son was shot. Yes, this is not a scene from a film but the real story of the son of a superstar who is no longer in this world.
We are talking about Chinese actor Bruce Lee's son, Brandon Lee. Bruce Lee may be a Chinese star but his action has received a lot of love in India. He is the only Chinese star who has received immense success in India as well. But a mountain of sorrow broke on him when his young son died.
Bruce Lee's son, Brandon Lee was shooting for his film The Crow. That day, an action scene was being shot on the set. Where Brandon Lee and his co-star Michael Massie were face-to-face. Brandon's co-star shoots him and he falls down. This was a scene for which preparations had been made. The makers had also put a real bullet in the gun along with a fake one so that when the bullet is fired in the zoom shot, the spark and smoke can be captured.
The makers had explained to the entire team that in the first shot, real bullets would be removed from the gun and fake bullets would be inserted. In the scene, a fake bullet was to be fired at Brandon and in the next shot, a real bullet was to be fired, and the smoke was to be captured. As soon as the costar fired at Brandon, he fell backwards with a thud. Initially, no one could understand what happened. Some thought the actor was joking. But when he did not get up for some time, there was an uproar. Then it was revealed that the bullet that was fired was real.
On 31 March 1993, Bruce Lee's son breathed his last at the age of 28. The most heartbreaking thing was that he was going to get married in just 17 days before his death. But in a moment, the superstar's home was destroyed. His partner, Brandon, fell in love with director Renny Harlin's assistant. Both got engaged in October 1992 and were going to get married in the year 1993. But Brandon's death ended everything.
At the same time, Bruce Lee is no more in this world. He died in 1973 at the age of 32. It is surprising that both father and son died at a young age. Bruce Lee had earned a lot of fame all over the world at a young age.

Labubu mania goes global: Celebs and fans queue for China's monster doll

Whether you find it cute, creepy, or just strange, you can't ignore Labubu — the quirky, elf-like doll that's swept across continents, capturing the hearts of millions. Born from the imagination of Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung, and brought to life by Chinese toy giant Pop Mart, Labubu has become more than just a collectible. From Shanghai to London, long queues for Labubu dolls have sparked headlines — and even brawls. In stores, online, or snapped onto a luxury handbag, this pointy-eared mischief-maker is now everywhere. And it's not just the average fan who's hooked. Rihanna, Dua Lipa, Kim Kardashian, and BLACKPINK's Lisa have all proudly shown off their Labubu dolls. Our biggest FAN. #LISA #LABUBU #BLACKPINK $labubu #labubuOnSol — Labubu Fans (@labubufans) May 31, 2025 'You get such a sense of achievement when you are able to get it among such fierce competition,' Fiona Zhang, a devoted fan, was quoted as saying by BBC. What is Labubu and why the craze? At first look, Labubu is just a toy — a vinyl-faced plush doll with exaggerated features: large eyes, spiky ears, and a grin that bears exactly nine teeth. But behind that grin lies a brand that has gripped the world's imagination. Labubu is a key figure in 'The Monsters' series, a whimsical universe created by Kasing Lung. The character is described as 'kind-hearted and always wants to help, but often accidentally achieves the opposite,' according to Pop Mart's website — a sentiment many fans say they relate to. The Labubu universe doesn't end there. Other fan favourites include Zimomo, the tribe leader; her boyfriend Tycoco; and friend Mokoko. For the untrained eye, they may look similar — but for collectors, each character tells its own story. Business of blind boxes Pop Mart, once a humble Beijing variety store started by entrepreneur Wang Ning, found its goldmine in blind boxes — where buyers only discover their toy after unboxing it. This element of surprise turned shopping into a game of luck. Pop Mart's big break came in 2016 with the launch of Molly dolls by Hong Kong artist Kenny Wong. But the true turning point was in 2019, when the company secured the rights to Labubu. What followed was nothing short of extraordinary. By the end of 2020, Pop Mart was trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Since then, its shares have shot up over 500 per cent, thanks largely to Labubu's viral success. In 2024 alone, nearly 40 per cent of Pop Mart's revenue came from outside mainland China, according to a BBC report. Booming demand and counterfeit surge - Labubu dolls are now sold in more than 30 countries worldwide. - Dolls are available in online and physical stores, and over 2,000 Pop Mart 'roboshops' (vending machines). - Surging global demand prompted Pop Mart to temporarily halt international sales. - Chinese customs seized over 70,000 fake Labubu dolls in recent months, highlighting a growing counterfeit market. Labubu's rise to global fame Labubu's journey to global stardom wasn't instant. It began quietly, gaining traction in China as the country emerged from the pandemic. According to Ashley Dudarenok, founder of China-focused research firm ChoZan, the chaotic charm of Labubu offered emotional escape. 'Post-pandemic, a lot of people in China felt that they wanted to emotionally escape... and Labubu was a very charming but chaotic character,' Dudarenok told BBC. 'It embodied that anti-perfectionism.' Affordability helped too. Most Labubu dolls originally cost between 25 to 70 Canadian dollars, making them accessible — until resale prices surged due to soaring demand. Then came the celebrity push. In April 2024, Lisa of BLACKPINK posted photos of her Labubu collection on Instagram, triggering frenzy. Rihanna was seen with a Labubu clipped to her Louis Vuitton bag. Kim Kardashian flaunted a collection of 10 Labubus, and David Beckham showed off one gifted by his daughter. Suddenly, Labubu wasn't just a toy. It was a fashion statement, a social media darling, and a status symbol. 'Cool China' and cultural power But for Beijing, Labubu is more than a commercial hit. It's a symbol of China's creative soft power. According to state agency Xinhua, Labubu reflects 'the appeal of Chinese creativity, quality and culture in a language the world can understand.' Xinhua even placed Labubu alongside other globally successful Chinese creations like the video game 'Black Myth: Wukong' and the animated film Nezha — branding it all part of a growing 'cool China' movement. Even Western business experts are taking notice. Chris Pereira, CEO of consultancy firm iMpact, told BBC: 'BYD, DeepSeek, all of these companies have one very interesting thing in common, including Labubu — they're so good that no one cares if they're from China. You can't ignore them.'

Why didn't BTS' Jungkook hold solo live since military discharge? Fans weigh in on cap controversy as possible reason

The BTS member known for his record-breaking lengthy live broadcasts, has been unusually quiet since his military discharge on June 11. Despite co-hosting one with Jimin, fans are eagerly awaiting a solo broadcast. Jungkook's absence from live streams has sparked concern among fans, with some attributing it to his recent controversies. However, others believe it was a natural adjustment to his civilian life after being away for 18 months. Fans concerned over Jungkook's lack of Weverse updates The golden maknae (youngest member) of BTS was previously known for frequently engaging with fans through unannounced, late-night livestreams on the platform, specifically in 2023-24. His sudden absence from this routine has left some fans surprised and wondering about his whereabouts. They took to social media to raise questions such as "When is Jungkook going live? " and 'Why is he so quiet?' This social detox of the artist has also met with a wave of support from other fans, who argued that the singer has every right to take his time and shouldn't be pressured into maintaining a certain level of activity or interaction with his audience. They also listed down the possible reasons for the same. Fans attribute Jungkook's lack of solo lives to his latest controversies Recently, the Seven singer was under heavy scrutiny due to being embroiled in two "unpleasant things" just days after his military discharge. The day Jungkook got discharged, a Chinese woman attempted to break-in to his Seoul house. She allegedly loitered around his house for about 10 hours, waiting to meet him. The woman has been caught and is currently under police investigation. The next unfavorable incident occurred on June 13, during J-Hope's HOPE ON THE STAGE FINAL concert's soundcheck session. Jungkook was preparing for his surprise act, when he was seen donning a cap with a controversial text– "Make Japan Great Again". The phrase is considered to be politically right-inclined, as it stemmed from Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan. Fans think these controversies have likely taken a toll on his mental state, which is why they're supporting and respecting his decision to stay away from the spotlight as long as he feels like.

Margaret Cho says Ellen DeGeneres was 'not nice' to her for most her career

ANI Published 23 Jun 2025, 09:19 AM IST Washington DC [US], June 23 (ANI): Actor-comedian Margaret Cho has accused Ellen DeGeneres of treating her poorly throughout most of her career, despite their long history in the comedy world. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cho, in a recent episode of The Kelly Mantle Show, said, "Ellen was really weird and not nice to me for most of my career...I opened for her in the 1980s, when she was a headliner in comedy clubs, way before her big fame. Later, when I would do her talk show in the 2000s, she acted like we had just met." "And I'm like, 'Bitch, what?' That's weird. We go way back. It's so creepy and weird," the Grammy and Emmy nominee joked. Cho also spoke about an incident involving the late singer David Bowie. She attended one of his concerts wearing a "Chinese emperor outfit." Later, Bowie appeared on DeGeneres' show and reportedly complimented Cho's outfit several times. But Cho said the compliments were cut from the final show. "The producer, who's a really good friend of mine, had to call me and tell me, 'I can't believe she did this, but she cut it out of the show.'" Cho recalled. "'But you need to know that he was going on and on about your outfit. God said your name. He loves you.'" In 2020, Cho also commented on the allegations of a toxic work environment on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. According to The Hollywood Reporter, while speaking on the Hot Takes & Deep Dives podcast, she said, "I think she definitely is scary. I'm still scared of Ellen. Everyone should be scared of Ellen. I would have no idea what it would be like to work for her." The Ellen DeGeneres Show ended in 2022 after 19 seasons. Ellen had also faced criticism and controversy after reports detailed claims of a toxic workplace. (ANI)
