Ken Jeong, one of the stars of ?Crazy Rich Asians,? is pinching himself over the success of the film.
On Monday, Jeong told CNN at the MTV VMAs, ?It's been highly emotional for the whole cast and crew. The fans have spoken ... I'm so grateful to the fans and it just shows that it's time."
Over its five day opening, Crazy Rich Asians made $35 million dollars at the US box office.
Jeong said, ?The bigger picture is to have more Asian-American filmmakers' voices being heard on a major commercial studio platform?
The last major Hollywood film to feature a predominantly Asian cast was 1993?s ?The Joy Luck Club.?
Jeong added, "This is a melting pot of entertainment and that's what we're here to do. I've never been more proud to be an Asian American in entertainment."
