If you didn't know Simu Liu was a proper Toronto kid, this video of him listing his favourite things about the 6ix will definitely prove that point.

Liu has always been openly proud of his Canadian roots, and he really flexed his knowledge in his latest promotional video.

First up, Liu gives a shoutout to all of Toronto's musicians — from and The Weeknd to Shawn Mendes and Alessia Cara — and says the 6ix is a "talent hotspot," which we guess he would know about.

Next up is the food, which Liu has already spoken at length about. He told Narcity back in September 2021 about the restaurants he craves when he's back in town, whether it's his mom's dumplings or Fishman Lobster Clubhouse.

He mentions a few classic Toronto locations — Square One Shopping Centre in Mississauga, the CN Tower, High Park and Trinity Bellwoods — and talks up the Skydome for the Blue Jays and the Toronto Raptors.

"This is a team that you can get behind, this is a team that's easy to root for," he says. "We love our guys."

And, finally, Liu says that the people are what he truly loves about his hometown.

"There's really nothing like the feeling of driving down the Gardiner, seeing the CN Tower, seeing the Toronto skyline and knowing that I'm home among my people," Liu explains. Toronto will always have that special place in my heart."

And if keeps sweet talking the city, Toronto will always have a special place for him, too!
