Wu was born in Berkeley, California, and raised in Orinda, California. His parents, Diana, a college professor and George Wu, a retired engineer, are natives of Shanghai, China. His father immigrated to the United States after the communist revolution in China in 1949 and met his mother in New York, where she was a student. After marrying, they settled in California. Wu has two older sisters, Greta and Gloria and an older brother who died when he was two.

Wu’s first experience in film production came with his starring role in Julian Lee’s 2003 film, Night Corridor. Due to budgetary constraints, Wu also participated in the search for funding for and distribution of, the film and recruited Jun Kung to create the soundtrack. Though Night Corridor dealt with “risky” themes, Wu felt he had less reliance on image than many of his pop-star actor peers, and he was nominated for best actor at Taiwan’s 40th Golden Horse Film Awards for his effort. During 2003, Wu also took part as producer and creative director on “MTV’s Whatever Things!”, a “Jackass”-styled program aired in Asia, also featuring Sam Lee, Josie Ho, Terence Yin, and other celebrities. Also during 2003, Wu took part in a stage production of The Happy Prince at the Edward Lam Dance Theater as part of the Hong Kong Arts Festival, during which he recited a 16-minute monologue in Cantonese, learned entirely from pinyin. In 2005, Wu was nominated as best actor at the 24th Hong Kong Film Awards for his role in Derek Yee’s One Nite in Mongkok, and as best supporting actor for New Police Story. At the 41st Golden Horse Film Awards, Wu won the award for best supporting actor for New Police Story. The win came as a surprise to him, because he “didn’t think that much” of his performance in the film.

In 2005, Chinese media began to report that Wu had formed a boy band, Alive, with Terence Yin, Andrew Lin and Conroy Chan. Wu and his bandmates posted information, updates, personal thoughts (including slamming Hong Kong Disneyland, for which they were spokespersons), and the band’s music, at their official website. In 2006, Wu made his writing and directorial debut with The Heavenly Kings, which chronicles Alive’s formation and exploits. After the film’s release, however, it was revealed that The Heavenly Kings was actually a mockumentary of the Hong Kong pop music industry, and Alive was constructed purely as a vehicle to make the movie; the film’s characters represented only 10–15% of their real-life counterparts and much of the footage blurred the line between fiction and reality. Wu admitted his own singing voice “sucked really bad,” and the band had their voices digitally enhanced for its music, to prove that “it’s easy to fake it.” Despite some backlash from the media over being intentionally fed false information in the movie about illegal downloads of the band’s music, Wu won the best new director award at the 26th Hong Kong Film Awards, an achievement he called “a group effort.”
