Oscar-nominated director Ang Lee practices Tai Chi

From this article about some movie:

Parts of the "The Hulk" move as slowly as the laid-back martial art of tai chi, which Lee practices each morning.

When I see something like that, I wonder where it came from. I mean, Ang Lee's (whoever the fsck that is) association with Tai Chi is well-known. Did the reporter already know about it? Did the reporter read it in Ang's bio? Did Ang mention it in his interview?

Did the reporter write it down somewhere, knowing he was going to mention it somewhere in his article, and, when he found the opportunity, he used it? Did the reporter watch the scenes and, knowing about the Ang Lee-Tai Chi connection, realize what Ang Lee was getting at?

Here's my version:

The Lonewacko Blog is as thrill-packed as the sports of rock climbing and mountain biking, two sports which Lonewacko occasionally vainly tries to practice.
