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 itโs shockingly the first studio film centered around an Asian-American characterโs storyline since the Joy Luck Club twenty-five years ago!
And that fact isnโt lost on Constance, who expressed that in a heartfelt tweet.
โBefore CRA, I hadnโt even done a tiny part in a studio filmโฆI never dreamed I would get to star in oneโฆbecause I had never sen that happen to someone who looked like me.โ
โOur amazing director John M Chu saysโฆthis is more than a movie, itโs a movement. He is my hero, and he is leading the way. I hope you help our movement.โ
