In starring as Aang in the live-action version of “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” Gordon Cormier knows that he’s making history.

The Filipino-Canadian actor "bends" the heroic and fearless master of elements in the story considered by fans as one of the most popular animated series of all time.

"As a young actor, it feels pretty great," said Cormier on being an inspiration to others at an early age. "But as a Filipino, it's amazing because I think I'm one of the first Filipino child actors to have a lead role."

He added: "It's such a big role, especially for Netflix. So, it's really awesome and the Philippines is freaking out. They're an amazing fanbase."

The precocious star is the only son of Filipina Jenny Diez and Canadian Gordon Cormier Sr.

While filming the show in 2022, the actor did interviews with international press for the first time, where he exhibited his boundless energy, much like his character Aang.

"[In the] first three to four days, we were just chilling, relaxing, easing into it," Cormier recalled. "But after that, we got serious. You have to learn as much as you can in these week and a half because you have to become a Wushu master in one month."

The young actor also shared that training for the series involved learning a bit of Wushu, Tai Chi, and Kung Fu.

Two years later at the show’s Hollywood premiere, Cormier is all grown up and ready for stardom.

"It is an incredible feeling," he said. "This has taken up a lot of my childhood so it's an amazing reward. I mean, it's finally happening and the fans are gonna love it, so it's a good day."

"Avatar: The Last Airbender" arrives on Netflix on Feb. 22.
