Tiscali Celebrity

Funnyman Jack Black treated fans to a display of his martial arts skills at the London premiere of his new animated film Kung Fu Panda on Thursday (26Jun08).

The comedian voices the character Po in the movie, a bungling panda who dreams of becoming a kung fu warrior.

But after showing off his moves on the red carpet, Black admitted he really isn't a fighting man at heart.

He said, "I'm not a violent person by nature.

"If I see violence happening on an unsuspecting victim, my tendency is to rescue. The only time I'm really going to bust out the moves is for self-defence."

Meanwhile, Black's co-stars Dustin Hoffman and Lucy Liu demonstrated the peaceful art of origami to reporters at the event. (MT/WNWCCB/IG)
