Daisuke Tsuji recently stated that he has no qualms reprising his role as Jin Sakai in the movie adaptation of the samurai video game “Ghost of Tsushima” – if the production wants him, that is.
The Japanese-American actor, who provided the English voice as well as motion capture for the role when it was developed for PlayStation, tweeted jokingly on 26 March, “If I get to play Jin in the live-action [“Ghost of Tsushima”], let it be known that I fully agree to doing butt nudity.”
His was a response to Bryan Dechart – another video game actor – who posted a tweet that read, “Retweet if you want [Daisuke Tsuji] as live action Jin Sakai. Chad Stahelski, do the right thing.”
Dechart’s post had since received 1,144 retweets, though some expressed scepticism, with one saying that Hollywood would prefer an A-lister whose face they could slap on the posters.
