Casanova Wong

Casanova Wong (born 1945) is a Korean film actor and martial artist.

A former member of a military taekwondo demonstration team, Wong is an expert in taekwondo and a leg fighter, famous for his spin kicks. He earned the nickname "The Human Tornado" in the Republic of Korea Army.

He made many appearances in martial arts movies but is most remembered for his role as Cashier Hua in Warriors Two, where he starred alongside Sammo Hung, with whom he worked several times. Other films included Story of Drunken Master and Rivals of the Silver Fox. One of Wong's last notable movie appearances was as Kang-ho in the 1994 Korean movie Bloody Mafia.

In a January 2023 interview with the MBC program "Teukjong Sesang" (Scoop World), he said he spent most of his assets on seven movies that disappointed at the box office, negatively affecting his family life. On why he lived alone at a Buddhist temple on a mountain, he said, "My two sons live separately. If I had a lot of money, my brothers would visit me but they don't because I don't have much money. I live with that feeling. I don't want to show myself like this."

He said he made seven films in 1984 and continued to make movies until 1995, selling his homes in Seoul and Hong Kong to finance his works since he had no income. He ended up losing everything and divorcing his wife. "When my sons were about 7 and before they entered elementary school, they had nobody to care for them so I moved them to their grandmother's house. (At the time) I couldn't see them often. When I went to the sticks for work, my kids lived without their parents and couldn't speak. It killed me inside."

Saying he has not given up on making another martial arts film, he added that he wishes to die either at a shooting location or a martial arts gym.
