Constance Wu stars in the new movie Crazy Rich Asians, which at its heart is simply the next comedy classic.
But it is also undeniably groundbreaking, as itâs shockingly the first studio film centered around an Asian-American characterâs storyline since the Joy Luck Club twenty-five years ago!
And that fact isnât lost on Constance, who expressed that in a heartfelt tweet.
âBefore CRA, I hadnât even done a tiny part in a studio filmâŠI never dreamed I would get to star in oneâŠbecause I had never sen that happen to someone who looked like me.â
âOur amazing director John M Chu saysâŠthis is more than a movie, itâs a movement. He is my hero, and he is leading the way. I hope you help our movement.â
