On May 14th, Japanese actor Odagiri Joe expressed his admiration for "My Way" co-star, Jang Dong Gun, in an interview with the Korean press at the Cannes Film Festival. Odagiri began, "Jang Dong Gun is an extremely caring person who's like an older brother to me. I don't watch a lot of Korean movies, but I do know of directors like Kang Jekyu, Lee Chang Dong, Bong Jun Ho, Park Chan Wook, and Kim Ki Duk. I'm not familiar with Korean actors, however." He continued, "When I told people that I would be working with Jang Dong Gun for a film, everyone said he was an impressive actor. Before I met him, I went in thinking that he was Korea's representative actor, and as it turned out, everything that everyone told me was true. As a human being and as an actor, he's quite a man. He's caring towards staff on set, and I think of him as an older brother who I can depend on." Concluding the interview, he stated, "What helped the most was his ability in creating teamwork. He's an actor who knows how he needs to work with and around his co-stars. There are so many actors out there that focus only on themselves, but Jang Dong Gun knows how to balance the pace. It's because of such reasons that we were able to create such an amazing project together."
