There aren¡¯t too many Japanese actors who have made the jump to Hollywood. For someone known primarily for their membership in a J-pop group, that leap is naturally much more rare.
Yet, there was Naoki Kobayashi walking the red carpet at the London premiere of ¡°Earthquake Bird,¡± a film by Wash Westmoreland that Kobayashi stars in alongside Alicia Vikander, Riley Keough and Jack Huston. Also at the premiere? Ridley Scott, director of such classic films as ¡°Alien,¡± ¡°Blade Runner¡± and ¡°Black Rain.¡±
After filming had wrapped, Kobayashi visited Scott, who served as executive producer on ¡°Earthquake Bird,¡± at the offices of Scott Free Productions.
