    It’s probably safe to assume Jackie Chan hasn’t seen Superbad, Juno, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World or Barbie — basically all of Michael Cera‘s most iconic roles.

    The Barbie actor recently told NME that Chan had no idea who he was when they met for the first time after ending up at the same press stop, BBC Radio 2, while promoting their respective movies, The Phoenician Scheme and Karate Kid: Legends.

    “When I met him though, he was like ‘who is this person, what’s going on?’” Cera recalled of their interaction. “We took a picture but I think he thought I was a competition winner. He was like, ‘OK let’s do a picture real quick. Come on.’ Not rudely. But I felt like I was invading his little personal time with his team before he goes on the radio.”

    However, he didn’t take it personally. Cera added, “So I was like, ‘What am I doing here?’ But everyone was very sweet and I got to meet Jackie.”

    Cera was promoting Wes Anderson’s latest pic, The Phoenician Scheme, which just premiered at Cannes. The film follows wealthy businessman Zsa-zsa Korda, who appoints his only daughter, a nun, as sole heir to his estate. As Korda embarks on a new enterprise, they soon become the target of scheming tycoons, foreign terrorists and determined assassins.

    As for Chan, he reprised his role as Mr. Han for the new Karate Kid: Legends movie, 15 years after he starred in 2010’s The Karate Kid with Jaden Smith. The film follows kung fu prodigy Li Fong, who relocates to New York City and attracts unwanted attention from a local karate champion. He then embarks on a journey to enter the ultimate karate competition with the help of Mr. Han (Ben Wang) and Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio).
