More Asian Stardom for Kimutaku

SMAP and perennial No.1 heart throb Kimura Takuya (30) slipped out of the country Friday on his way to the Shanghai set of the movie “2046.” Directed by the acclaimed Wong Kar Wai, it features Kimutaku alongside other top Asian stars Tony Leung (41) and Faye Wong (25). Production of the movie started back in 1999 but Kimura hasn’t been involved since then as the project has been beset with scheduling problems.
