Way of the Dragon.

Any idea who this kid grew up to be, 45 years later?

I think it's Joe Lewis?.

It's not Joe Lewis. It's probably one of Lee's LA Chinatown school punching bags.

The worst pictures of Bruce Lee seemingly were all taken during the production of Enter the Dragon. I guess this could be attributed to a variety of reasons. It is just unfortunate because usually any time Bruce Lee is given mainstream exposure, images from Enter the Dragon usually accompany the feature, be it print, video or whatever. He looks awful in this pic especially. He is sucking in a nonexistent gut and his face and eyes are puffy for some reason. It is one of the most widely seen pics of Bruce Lee despite everything.

I remember the book The Art of Expressing the Human Body and most of the pics included are from Enter the Dragon. The arm section is especially ridiculous, dude had like 12" arms fighting Han, oh, but he was "ripped".

Sure I've got some of those images in a book/magazine with captions that saying its Lewis?. It might be in the signed Joe Lewis book I've got.

Lack of sleep and hours of phsically demanding work, along with the inability to get quality rest, even when he wanted to.

The young boy in front of the woman identified as Betty Lai is 7-year-old Brandon Lee, isn't it? A few people at greenbamboo's forum say it isn't.

I guess this boy may not be Brandon Lee, but the resemblance is eeire. Doppelgängers are considered bad luck and it is one heck of a coincidence that a doppelgänger of 7-year-old Brandon Lee shows up at Bruce Lee's Way of the Dragon set. I still think it's Brandon BTW.
