James Wan is a Malaysian-born Australian film director, screenwriter, and producer.
James was born in Malaysia, of Chinese descent. He was raised in Australia and is an Australian citizen.
James has stated:
“I was born in Malaysia and grew up in Australia. I moved there when I was about 7. Language-wise, my mom and dad’s dialect, they’re pretty obscure. It’s Chinese, but not your traditional Chinese, like Cantonese or Mandarin. It wasn’t something that I got to use very much growing up. We eventually just spoke English around the house”.
