In his latest movie, Aaron Kwok forgoes his leading man glamour persona to play a down-and-out vagabond.

In I'm Livin' It, the 54-year old plays Bowen, a former investment expert who has fallen on hard times. He meets individuals of similar fate in a 24-hour fast food restaurant in the movie that's directed by Wong Hing Fan.
