The “Barbie” actor says he was “powering through” to participate in “a historic moment” at the Academy Awards.
Simu Liu is still recovering from a torn Achilles tendon, and he didn’t let it stop him from participating in Ryan Gosling’s “I’m Just Ken” performance at the Academy Awards.
The “Barbie” actor, in an interview on “Today With Hoda & Jenna” Wednesday, opened up about the “surreal” moment when he danced with fellow Ken actors as Gosling rocked the Oscars stage with Slash and Wolfgang Van Halen.
Liu, who revealed that he tore his Achilles tendon in October, told hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager that he’s “like four months into recovery” from surgery.
“But I’m powering through it because I’m like I feel like this was gonna be a historic moment that I would never forgive myself if I wasn’t a part of, but I was definitely like, ‘Should I be doing this?’” Liu said.
“I was talking to my physio and he’s like, ‘Ehh?’ And I was like, OK, whatever, I’m gonna do it.”
