On episode #2326 of The Joe Rogan Experience, the popular podcaster spoke to fellow comedian Jimmy Carr about the late Bruce Lee's portrayal in 'Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood.' The film, which directed by the legendary Quentin Tarantino and released in 2019, was well-received both critically and on the box office.
However, Rogan took issue with how Tarantino's film portrayed Lee, an action movie icon and transformative martial artist, as an arrogant figure who believed himself to superior to others. This, though, was not an accurate characterization of the man, according to Rogan, who said:
"The Bruce Lee thing is one of the things that I really didn't agree with. I love Tarantino. I'm a giant fan. As a human being I love him, and as a director I think he's the greatest of all time. He has the most consistently exciting, ground-breaking, psychotic films. I love his movies. The problem is I know a lot about Bruce Lee, and he wasn't like that. He wasn't that arrogant guy, and I think he's misrepresented."

The longtime UFC commentator is a noted fan of Lee, who is occasionally regarded as one of the most important figures in the early development of MMA. This is owed largely to Lee founding Jeet Kune Do, which draws from numerous martial arts to cover every aspect of unarmed combat.
Lee, though, was never a professional fighter, and much of his mythos is derived from a combination of his on-screen persona from his action films and unverified, even conflicting, accounts of unsanctioned street fights he may or may not have had.
