Many Canadians know that Simu Liu, who grew up in the Toronto area, appeared in homegrown shows like Kim’s Convenience before headlining the Marvel Studios blockbuster Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings – but who knew he also made his mark in a well known Fall Out Boy music video?
Liu served as bassist Pete Wentz’s stunt double in the video for the band’s 2014 track “Centuries.”
The Gladiator-themed video, directed by Syndrome, was filmed at the Fort Henry National Historic Site in Kingston, Ont.
Liu replaced Wentz in a scene where his character is thrown to the ground by Canadian actor and stuntman Jon Ambrose.

On Oct. 8, 2014, the future Marvel hero tweeted a pic of himself and Wentz that he captioned: “That time I was a stunt double for @petewentz.”
