Simu Liu Says He Was Kicked in the Face While Doing Stunts for Peacock’s The Copenhagen Test

The espionage thriller debuts on Peacock on December 27.

Overview

  • Liu says he performed portions of the action himself for the series, accepting on-set risk despite professional coordination by James and Chris Mark.
  • He recounted being kicked in the face multiple times and being thrown against objects during fight sequences.
  • He argued that actor-led stunts give editors far more options for cutting shots.
  • Co-star Melissa Barrera also pushed to do her own stunt work, impressing the stunt team.
  • The comments come from a People interview widely recirculated by other outlets as part of promotion ahead of release.
