Simu Liu remarked about the great time he had during the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game this weekend but one moment a video board comparison of a photo of the actor with a shot of a fan who appeared to be of Asian descent wasnt cool with him.
Liu, who took part in the NBA All-Star Weekend event on Friday, shared his disapproval for the celebrity look-alike cam segment that occurred during the event in Salt Lake City .
Several Twitter users, including Game of Thrones actor Nathalie Emmanuel , later weighed in on a picture from the video board as one called out the segment for including a random Asian dude in the crowd.
I had a great time but this wasn't cool https://t.co/8ZXUUvBk7W

Liu, in a follow-up tweet, clarified his feelings on the segment.
To be perfectly clear the entire org and ops team surrounding all-star have been nothing but absolutely stellar to myself and all my friends, Liu wrote.

Liu was one of a number of stars who took part in the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game along with Janelle Mone and Jimmy Kimmel Live! personality Guillermo Rodriguez.
The Shang-Chi actor tweeted in 2019 that he was playing his way to the game and, on Friday, he sank an ill 4-point shot attempt from deep during the event.
The NBA didnt immediately respond to a HuffPost request for comment about the look-alike segment.
