Among them, Duke is the most popular object, and countless Duke blows are coming for him!
Since the birth of the film industry, there has never been a director who has established a commercial appeal far stronger than a Hollywood superstar like Duke.
In addition, hundreds of reporters headed by North American media and Fleet Street directly followed the crew. Even if Duke and others left the center of the entertainment industry for the Far East, they still persisted and vowed to dig out the privacy of everyone on the crew. !
