RF: I’m working on a new project but I can’t tell you until its finished (laughs). I learned Karate, how to throw a knife and self defense. RF: We trained for about a month before we started shooting. I love to exercise and had been taking taekwondo for about two years before I was cast. For the movie I took about three weeks of training in sword fighting. Did either of you have any prior martial arts experience or training? MS: You both have some pretty intense action scenes in the film. I think he really only slept three hours a day! (laughs) But then again, he’s Wolverine…he doesn’t have to sleep. He would spend time with his family and take care of his children. He would film eleven hours a day and spend three hours before he was supposed to shoot working out. He would be on the set when he was supposed to be sleeping. And Hugh is so funny! He’s a superstar but he’s also a really, really nice person. They both gave me a lot of information about my character. From James Mangold, our director, to Hugh. He also taught me the “language”…I had no idea what “on camera” was or what “off camera” was. I think he still remembers his first experiences on a big movie so he could understand how hard it was. MS: Being new to the business was Hugh Jackman supportive of you on set? When I finally saw the finished film it hit me that this was a pretty big deal. I’m glad I didn’t have the time to realize it was such a big movie. The audition process took about four months and before I knew it we were shooting. RF: Luckily I didn’t have a lot of time to realize it was a big deal. TO: “The Wolverine” is all about fear (laughs) I was very lucky to get the role. MS: Were there any nerves, considering the popularity of the “Wolverine” films, on making this film your debut project? Doing “The Wolverine” was a magical experience. Tao Okamoto: I’ve always had an interest in getting into acting but I’d never done any feature films. Rila Fukushima: To be honest I never wanted to become an actress but when I was approached I decided to do it because I was going to be Hugh Jackman’s love interest! (laughs). Before the opportunity to appear in “The Wolverine” came along had either of you aspired to being an actress? Mike Smith: You both are very successful fashion models. And both made their future film debut this past year opposite Hugh Jackman in the highly popular film, “The Wolverine.”Īs the film makes its debut this week on DVD and Blu-ray, they both spoke with me about their new success, not being intimidated and what a nice person that guy Logan really is. Rila Fukushima and Tao Okamoto have a couple things in common.
