Kate Bosworth, who appears in the “Warrior’s Way,” as top Korean actor Jang Dong-gun’s counterpart, praised the Korean entertainment industry.

During an interview with “Chelsea Lately,” a U.S. popular talk show, Bosworth hailed Jang as “such a lovely guy.”

She also made comments on being a celebrity in Korea and how it differs from the United States.

“The Korean audience actually thinks that scandals are a bad thing,” Bosworth said during the interview last Thursday. The host of the show later jokingly said, “We could ship a whole bunch of people over there,” referring to some of the most scandalous Hollywood stars like Lindsay Lohan and Kim Kardashian.

“The Warrior’s Way” is Jang Dong-gun’s Hollywood debut film and he is referred to as “the Korean Brad Pitt,” by various foreign media. The film co-stars Academy Award-winning Geoffrey Rush and American actress Bosworth.
