Nie Xin/ Shanghai Daily news

Hollywood star Wentworth Miller was surprised by the passion of Shanghai fans when he arrived in town to endorse the Chinese domestic clothing brand Me & City.

He was welcomed by fans at Pudong International Airport on Thursday night. Miller was very patient in satisfying requests for autographs and photos.

Last night, Miller attended a Me & City fashion show and celebration party held at Central Park in Pudong. 

Miller is scheduled to attend a press conference today at the Me & City flagship store on Nanjing Road E. and then continue his China tour in Beijing.

Appearing in the Fox TV series "Prison Break," the 36-year-old Miller was born in England and raised in Brooklyn, New York. The "Michael Schofield" character played by Miller has apparently made a deep impression on Chinese audiences, as Miller drew screams from many of the young women who turned out to see him.

In Chinese, Wentworth is commonly known as wenshuai or mishuai, a combination of his name and the Chinese word for "handsome."
