Punching a thirty kilogram punching bag and wiping off torrents of sweat on the spot, Vanness takes on a vicious look that resembles the scary devil kid from “The Grudge.”
Even though he takes on a ruthless appearance, whenever Vanness takes off his shirt, it becomes a hot topic and boosts ratings. This time, Vanness strips down to his waist for his boxing scene, which pleases the female employees on location. Asked how he keeps in shape, Vanness replied that he doesn’t have a problem going to the workout room, and takes advantage of his schedule break to do intense push-ups and swim for an hour each day.
Vanness feels right at home in this boxing scene from a previous role in the movie “Star Runner”, so he often trains on a punching bag at his company. For this “next” scene, Vanness picks up the same punching bag to use, but it takes more than ..... (article cut to save bandwidth)

For his new SETTV idol drama 'Autumn Concerto', Vanness Wu had to wear female high-heels, and it even gave him the idea of re-learning the piano. Lately, he's been going on Youtube to learn a piano piece to one of Justin Timberlake's songs. He said: "Piano has provoked my mind, when I was little, I didn't learn piano properly and that is the thing I regret the most till now."
In the drama, he & Ady An have to act out an intimate scene of him undo-ing her blouse buttons beside the piano, and staff members were so moved by this scene that they even shed tears. Vanness said: "Because I have to force her to take off her clothes, our bodies have to be quite close together, but I was scared of crushing her, so I specially straightened my waist to reduce the weight of my body."

As a product of SETTV's transformation, Vanness Wu is working to get rid of his ABC accent. He has been required not to wear saggy pants, speak English. To make his single eyelid eyes look more like a manga male character, he was given circle lenses. All this was easy. The hardest part for Vanness was Chinese. His script was filled up with romanizations.
TTV and SETTV's <Autumn's Concerto> starts showing 10/04. SETTV's president Chen Shan Yu said, "In the beginning, indeed, there were people asking 'Why Vanness Wu?'. "But just like during the filming of <My Queen>, when people were questioning the choice of Cheryl Yang, Chen has complete confidence in Vanness.

Ady An films SETTV's <Next Stop, Happiness>, but has been refusing to film any kissing scenes, making Van Ness Wu feel helpless, "Is it because of me?" He then learns later that she has phobia towards kissing. The two of them could only complete filming the kissing scene after Ady An drunk herself while Van Ness Wu prayed for God's help.
Don't know whether Ady An has had bad experiences in the past of something else, but her barrier has always been filming kissing scenes. She rather films scenes where she is beaten than to kiss with her male lead. However, producer of <Next Stop, Happiness>, Chen Yu Shan, would not let Ady An off and requested for her to film the kissing scenes. Yesterday, on the outdoor set at Sanshia, Ady An publicly apologized to Van Ness Wu, "I only have the courage to film a kissing scene after getting drunk, but after he became Christian, not only did he become celibate, he even .....

Vanness Wu too tired to smile
Thursday June 11, 2009 Taiwan
American-born Taiwanese star Vanness Wu is getting serious, and fans will just have to deal with it.
The 30-year-old, who shot to fame as one of the members of F4, addresses fan criticism that on his last trip to Singapore in March, he had 'a grumpy face the whole trip'.
The singer, in town last Friday to grace the opening of lingerie shop Rondavous at Far East Plaza, explains: 'I was tired. Fans have to realise I'm not a kid any more and can't smile all the time.'
Given his busy schedule, it is no wonder the bachelor is claiming fatigue. Besides a thriving film career, the singer released his first Japanese-language single, Only, last month.
He says: 'I've been a fan of Japanese culture since I was young and it has been a big influence in my life. I always thought it would be cool to perform in Japan.'
While he is not fluent in the language, he had grown up listening to Japanese songs, and that helped him pick up the intonations. Currently he is working on more songs for his Japanese album.
