Constance Wu Confirms She’s Not Arrogant—Just a Bad Day
New York — After a sharp “I’m literally crying” tweet, some fans were quick to snap Constance Wu’s “fame” into a reputation for arrogance. The 37‑year‑old star of Crazy Rich Asians and now Fresh Off The Boat hit back, clarifying the situation and giving us the inside scoop.
It’s All About Timing
“I was upset because the show’s renewal meant I’d miss a chance to work on something really hard and super challenging,” Wu explained. “I love Fresh Off The Boat—I’ve always chased artistic growth over easy gigs, but it’s a tough call when you’re already juggling a hit sitcom.
- Expectation: Fresh’s new season could clash with her dream project.
- Reality: The dream project would have been awkward for her schedule.
- Outcome: She felt a twinge of frustration, not arrogance.
While she’s apologetic about being “insensitive” to others hustling to break into Hollywood, she also reminded fans how she once wasn’t in high places.
Gemma Chan’s “Oops” Moment
Gemma Chan—who shared the Crazy Rich Asians spotlight with Wu—also got in the mix. She accidentally liked a tweet slamming Wu as “hard to work with.” Chan’s quick fix was a genuine apology and a promise to keep her thumb in check.
In the end, the former Net‑Star’s message is clear: the disappointment was a tweaked schedule, not a self‑importance binge. She remains committed to both her sitcom and the growing projects that stir her creative soul.
Keep it fun, stay humorous, and remember: deadlines can be as dramatic as movie plots. Also, never forget to check your likes before hitting send!
