US wrestler-actor issues social media apology for what he describes as his "mistake" and professes his "love and respect'' for China and the Chinese people.
US wrestler and actor John Cena has apologised to Chinese netizens for referring to Taiwan as a country during promotional interviews for his upcoming film “Fast and Furious 9.”
In a video posted on Chinese social media Weibo on Tuesday, Cena said he had made a “mistake” in one promotional interview.
In early May, Cena had said in an interview that aired on Taiwanese network TVBS that Taiwan would be the “first country” to watch the film.
“I must say, this is very, very, very, very, very, very important, I love and respect China and Chinese people,” the actor said in Mandarin. “I am very very sorry for my mistake. You must understand, I really love and respect China and Chinese people.”
“I did a lot of interviews. In one interview, I made a mistake. Everyone asked me if I could speak in Chinese,” he said, adding that the film team gave him “lots of information.”
