Lee Byung-hun was dressed with the concept of a fallen angel with an all-black theme and also added various creepy properties such as skulls, black wings, and crows for his photoshoot for the Vogue Magazine June 2008 Issue. Let’s look at some of the results of Lee Byung-hun’s photoshoot for the Vogue Magazine June 2008 Issue. In 2009, Lee Byung-hun appeared as a model in Vogue Magazine after he released the drama Iris and also I Come With The Rain movie where he also acted with one of the top international actors, Josh Hartnett. In this photoshoot, Vogue Magazine presented Lee Byung-hun and talked about the Korean actor’s meeting with Josh Hartnett at the Busan International Film Festival. The two international actors conducted a photoshoot session together for Vogue Magazine and the location used was in the outdoor area of a hotel in Haeundae using the Italian 1950 Classic and Macho concept. Before attending the Busan International Film Festival, Lee Byung-hun met with Josh Hartnett at Incheon airport after he finished shooting for the drama. According to one source who was on the set of Lee Byung-hun and Josh Hartnett’s photoshoot, the Korean actor acted as a translator for Josh Hartnett when he revealed that he only slept for 2 hours and immediately underwent around 40 interviews on the same day, but Josh Harnet also revealed that he enjoyed taking a photoshoot together with Lee Byung-hun. Josh Hartnett also revealed that he first saw Lee Byung-hun’s acting in the movie A Bittersweet Life (2005) and praised Lee Byung-hun’s acting skills that his figure was reminiscent of the popular French actor Alain Delon. “He can be good or he can be bad, and that’s what makes him dangerous. That’s the reason that Byung-hun is well-cast in gangster movies,” Josh Hartnett said. This time Lee Byung-hun’s part revealed how he felt about working with Josh Hartnett. “Josh is an actor who has a free soul. When there are blockbusters or low-budget films or even genres like I Come With The Rain, he always brings his feelings into every character that he plays. We have a lot in common,” said Lee Byung-hun. In Lee Byung-hun and Josh Hartnett’s appearance in Vogue Magazine 2009, there were 12 pages containing their photos and including the magazine cover. Let’s look at Lee Byung-hun and Josh Hartnett’s photo collection in the November 2009 Issue of Vogue Magazine. In 2012, Lee Byung-hun also did a photoshoot with Vogue Japan Magazine and they conducted an interview session about Lee Byung-hun’s career in the United States because he has managed to star in the role of one of the characters in the Hollywood movie G.I Joe. Vogue Japan conducted an indoor photo session with Lee Byung-hun in Napa Valley, located on the West Coast of California. Lee Byung-hun recounted how he got the role and challenged himself to agree to film arrangements abroad to become an international actor. Interview sessions for Vogue Japan are conducted in English without a translator. The interview began with the first question about how he felt as a top Asian star who is now in America and Lee Byung-hun answered that he was happy and agreed with the newcomers and that this step was a new level aimed at becoming an actor. During his 20-year career as a famous actor in Asia, he would feel good if he received the same respect and acknowledgment internationally. Lee Byung-hun also got the opportunity to meet Bruce Willis on the film set and he shared that when they first met, Lee Byung-hun offered to shake hands in support and Bruce Willis bowed respectfully and greeted him according to the Asian tradition. Lee Byung-hun was quite surprised by the response from Bruce Willis and he only found out later that the Hollywood actor had asked the producer, “Is he a movie star from Asia?” “Even though Bruce Willis is one of Hollywood’s top stars, he can greet everyone well and make the film more palatable by speaking to young or capable actors. He (Bruce Willis) is really a very good actor. As someone who works as an actor, it is an experience that I will never forget.” – Lee Byung-hun, Vogue Japan 2012 Another interview question was regarding Lee Byung-hun’s popularity in the United States and he answered that there was something interesting. Lee Byung-hun talked about how before the G.I Joe filming process began, there was a formal dinner party held at a famous restaurant in Los Angeles where all the actors, producers, and supervisors of the production were in attendance of the event. Lee Byung-hun shared that at the moment he was having a strict diet program and could not drink wine but could still eat chicken breast or fish. So he decided to greet everyone before deciding to go home early. However, due to the popularity of the event, outside the restaurant were a lot of paparazzi waiting, and he didn’t want to be noticed by them leaving the place. Lee Byung-hun, who was accompanied by his manager, was tidying up his clothes and also pretending to comb his hair while walking out the door, but none of the paparazzi reached Lee Byung-hun at that time. Even so, it was one of those funny moments that are also embarrassing, Lee Byung-hun considered it was natural. The next question was, why did Lee Byung-hun decide to start a career in Hollywood, he already had achieved popularity and could make big money in Asia? The actor replied that his job would be better if there were more people watching his work in Hollywood films as one of the largest markets in the movie industry. Lee Byung-hun also stated that he had great support from South Korea, but some responses were also not positive. So his debut as a Hollywood film actor is expected to be one of the good achievements for him who was already 41 years old at the time. Lee Byung-hun also explained that he spent time in Los Angeles and the other half in Seoul and that he has a big opportunity to live in Los Angeles soon. In November 2015, Lee Byung-hun returned as a model in Vogue Korea for the November Issue.
