CANNES, France (AP) – The bond between the A-list stars of the new Chinese fantasy film “The Ghouls” clearly didn’t stop when the group stopped filming.

Huang Bo, Chen Kun, Shu Qi, Angela Baby, and Xia Yu poked fun at one another as they promoted the film in Cannes this week.

Shu said the ensemble truly enjoys each other’s company.

“We’ve all been in the industry long enough and we know of each other,” she said. “So when the five of us get together, we’re like strangers who are close. We all like each other a lot. So when we get together, we just can’t stop talking.”

And teasing each other. During an interview, the actors – mostly veterans with the exception of the 26-year-old Angela Baby – started cracking jokes about each other’s ages.
