Playing a foreign fighter in IP MAN 2, the English action film star Darren Shahlavi was found dead in his Los Angeles home on Monday. He was 42.

Donnie Yen Chi Tan after learning about the death of his former co-star remembered him on Weibo yesterday. "When we worked on that final scene, my co-star suddenly told me that actually we have already met at a martial art forum in England! At the time he was only 15. He said that from that day on he swore to become an actor. Gone too soon!"
