I don't think it's Bruce Lee, but is this faked? Inquiring minds want to know.

It's really Bruce Lee, but not playing ping-pong, it's a mashup of a real table tennis game and him playing with nunchucks.

That makes a hell of a lot of sense. Thanks.

I'm not convinced it's even real Bruce Lee footage. It's super cool to watch, but I am pretty sure none of it is "real" to any extent.

I don't think that's really Bruce Lee either, the guy is a little older and stockier than Lee and he's paying too much attention to the table to be just practicing his nunchaku form. And judging by the way the ball floats before two of Lee's slams, it's definitely CGI.

It's really cool, though. Reminds me of the Tiger Woods golf ball juggling Nike commercial, but that's the real deal.

No, it's clearly not Bruce Lee. I think it's this guy.

When it came across my feed a few weeks ago, nerd consensus was immediately that it was faked.
