Jack Black, the dynamic force behind the beloved character Po in “Kung Fu Panda 4,” shared a little known secret, his all-time favorite co-star!
Black revealed his admiration for Kate Winslet, his co-star in the 2006 hit “The Holiday.” He praised her authenticity, stating, “She was my favorite co-star I’ve ever had because when you look in her eyes, she was really present.” Black humorously added a self-deprecating note, saying, “I feel like if you look into my eyes, you just see a shadow of a robot.”
“The Holiday” remains a seasonal favorite, with Winslet revealing that she’s recognized more for this film than for “Titanic.” Despite rumors, she confirmed that there are no plans for a sequel, though she admitted it would be delightful to revisit the characters.
In addition to his reflections on past collaborations, Black unveiled a unique hidden talent during his interview with “Entertainment Tonight.” He demonstrated what he calls “magic hands,” a skill where he can contort his hands in a way that creates an illusion of them disappearing. Black shared that this is a trick he mastered as a child and has retained over the years, adding a touch of intrigue to his already multifaceted persona.
As for “Kung Fu Panda 4,” Black is thrilled to reprise his role as Po. He considers the role a highlight of his career and approaches each film with the mindset that it could be his last, ensuring he pours his heart and soul into every performance.
While the future of the “Kung Fu Panda” series remains uncertain, Black’s passion for his character and his craft is unmistakable. Whether this installment marks the end of Po’s journey or not, Black’s commitment to delivering top-notch performances remains steadfast.
