In "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter," the 34-year-old Korean actor played the role of Commander Chu, sharing the big screen with American actors Millah Jovovich, Ali Larter, Shawn Roberts and more.
Director Paul Anderson previously revealed he was convinced to cast Lee Joon Gi in the movie after he saw a YouTube video of the Korean actor. Soompi cited the director immediately offered the role to Lee Joon Gi, who initially refused to take the proposal.
Despite the rejection, the "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter" director continued to woo Lee Joon Gi to take the offer. Anderson's effort did not go to waste as the Korean actor later agreed to play the role.
