Hong-Kong star - Chow Yun-Fat says he has no plans to pursue permanent residency in the U.S. Among his complaints of the American lifestyle were the food and having to speak English every day.

The smiley-faced star of 'Bullet Proof Monk' and 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' said to the Chinese equivalent of 'The Sun': 'I only go to America for work. When I finish work, I leave immediately. I won't stay one day longer.'

Due to a national holiday in Hong Kong, he couldn't be contacted for further comment Friday.
