Quentin Tarantino’s depiction of her father in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.In the 2019 film, the late martial artist and actor is depicted as cocky and aggressive towards stuntman Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt), who proceeds to humiliate him in a fight.At the time, Tarantino defended his depiction of Bruce, saying he was “kind of an arrogant guy” and he “heard him say things” like the lines used in the film.Speaking to The Telegraph, Shannon claimed Tarantino’s depiction of her father comes from the director believing “negative” stories about him.“I’ve never met [Tarantino],” Shannon said. “I don’t know what his issues are with my father.
