Jet Li's bad joy

Jet Li finds playing bad guys easier than portraying heroic characters.The Martial Arts expert plays villain Emperor Han in 'The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor' and says he finds it easier because bad characters have fewer responsibilities.He joked: "For an actor you always find playing good guys very heavy, because the good guy has the responsibility of taking care of his family, wives, children... Being good is not easy."The bad guy is straightforward selfish; I like the girl. She belongs to me. I like his car - give to me."However, the actor says he is only ever cast as the 'bad guy' in American movies.He added: "If you find Jet Li playing the bad guy in China, in Asia, it wouldn't sell in the theatre. They cannot make the movie."In Hollywood, you can make some movies and play the bad guy but Asian audiences still don't like it."

'The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor' opens in cinemas this week.
