I had the privilege to shoot a cover photo for Jon Benn, the legendary actor who played in several Bruce Lee movies. The most prominent movie he did with Bruce was “The way of the Dragon” where he played the villain along side with Chuck Norris. Today Jon resides in Shanghai and I had the honor to meet him. As a Bruce Lee fan I had watched my favorite Bruce Lee flick a million times and here I am with Jon Benn shooting some cover shots for his upcoming book. We thought it might be a good idea to shoot some pictures at the Geisha Lounge in Shanghai with an Asian flair in the pictures. We found some mirrors with Asian elements that reminded me much of the fight in “Enter the Dragon”. I had Jon displayed in a rather dim set up with his signature cigar look because he had played as a villain in most movies.
A great Old Guy was Jon in Shanghai where we both lived he used to come to our home for dinner a couple of times a month
funny for ever he always looked the same we would be walking down
the main st of Shanghai towards to Bund and people would stop him in the street and say WOW are you the Famous Mr Jon Benn
Cheers
Thank you for your comment. We all miss Jon.
