“The struggles are where you really learn something about yourself”
[THE Q & A] As CONSTANCE WU tackles high-octane action for the first time, the actor explains why she’ll never play the same role twice
AFTER HER BREAKOUT role as Jessica Huang in Fresh Off The Boat, Constance Wu found Hollywood success via mega-hit romcom Crazy Rich Asians, then starred alongside Jennifer Lopez in Lorene Scafaria’s acclaimed crime drama Hustlers. Whether playing an economics professor in the former or a stripper in the latter, Wu isn’t afraid of a challenge, as her latest role confirms. Back on TV for new series The Terminal List, she’s playing a war reporter who teams up with a Navy SEAL (played by Chris Pratt) to uncover the murky circumstances behind his team’s ambush. It’s yet another bold about-turn for Wu — but the actor says she wouldn’t have it any other way.
