Attending the festival in Northern Ireland’s capital, Liu expressed admiration for the community, describing the locals as “warm and welcoming.” She enjoyed regional specialties such as soda bread and potato bread, though she declined black pudding.
“It’s just an honour to be here and to celebrate all of the art and the culture the festival has brought to the community,” Liu told BBC News NI.
Filming in Northern Ireland
In 2023, Liu spent a month in Northern Ireland filming the action comedy Old Guy, where she had “a great working experience” and formed “really lovely friends” in the region.
