Training early in the morning can feel like a drag, but seeing results? Priceless.

We love a star who loves animals! In PEOPLE's 2021 Sexiest Man Alive issue, Liu recreated a favorite photo from his childhood featuring a duckling the actor "hatched" with his dad at 10 years old. For this shoot, the Shang-Chi star enlisted a gorgeous duck name Fred to recreate the perfect shot.
