Isabella Leong – 'Lin' in The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

You're working on your very first huge American film. What was that experience like?

Isabella Leong: "Well for me, it's a great experience because it's my first Hollywood movie. At first it's pretty hard because I couldn't speak one word of English. It's very, very difficult and it's hard to communicate with all the actors and director. But, yeah, I learned English every day and yeah, I think it's getting more better. It's great to have the opportunity to work with all the cast, like Brendan [Fraser], Maria [Bello], and the director. I'm really happy."

How easy was it for you to do action scenes?

Isabella Leong: "For me at first it's really hard because we used like four months to learn martial arts, weapons, wires. And yeah, it's very hard but after a few weeks later, then we started to get into it and it goes pretty well."

You not only had to do action but you had a love story going on too. How easy was that?

Isabella Leong: "Well, you know, it's a great experience because it's my first time to fall in love with a guy because before I played [in] lesbian movie in Hong Kong. It's a new experience for me, yeah."

You'd do that again, right?

Isabella Leong: "Yeah."
