In a breathtaking display of method acting, a local thespian finally achieved the gritty realism his director craved by getting brutally murdered in the exact same postcode as his 2022 crime thriller debut.

The seventy-year-old actor, legendary for having five glorious hairs sprouting from a chin mole, decided that "dying on stage" was for amateurs and opted for a live-action reboot.

Witnesses watched as a disgruntled delivery rider disarmed the veteran and used his own "self-defence" blade to perform twenty unsolicited surgical punctures.

"Walao, uncle acting damn power sia," noted one bystander.

"Last time he just ride bicycle, now he lying in blood like Hollywood star. Oscar confirm get one!"

The delivery rider is currently awaiting his Best Supporting Murderer nomination.
