Bruce Lee’s daughter says she’s ‘really f***ing tired of white men in Hollywood trying to tell me who Bruce Lee was’

Shannon Lee, daughter of martial arts icon and actor Bruce Lee, says that it's high time for "white men in Hollywood" to stop "trying to tell me who Bruce Lee was."

She made the remarks in response to Hollywood power player Quentin Tarantino's remarks that the late martial arts guru was arrogant. Tarantino in his 2019 film, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," portrayed Bruce as such, and recently told Joe Rogan that he believed Bruce had "nothing but disrespect for stuntmen."

In the film, Lee — portrayed by actor Mike Moh — challenges fictional stuntman Cliff Booth — portrayed by actor Brad Pitt — to a fight and loses. At the time, Shannon said that Tarantino portrayed her father as an "arrogant a**hole who was full of hot air."

"I understand they want to make the Brad Pitt character the super badass who could beat up Bruce Lee," she said following the film's release, "but they didn't need to treat him in the way that white Hollywood did when he was alive."
