Jet Li opens up about his time working with DMX on two action films, sharing sweet memories and an unexpected behind-the-scenes habit that charmed the cast. Read on to discover the full story!

A Bond on Set

The martial artist, 61, remembers a strong camaraderie while filming Romeo Must Die (2000) and Cradle 2 the Grave (2003). He recalled Aaliyah as charming and pretty and said the ensemble, including Anthony Anderson and DMX, genuinely connected. Li described DMX as a 'very cool guy' with a unique style while promoting his book Beyond Life and Death: The Way of True Freedom.

DMX's Playful Side

Li shared a lighthearted detail: between takes DMX would sometimes retreat into his own world to play video games. Castmates would nudge him to keep working, but DMX would insist on finishing his game — a trait Li found endearingly boyish and memorable.
