Gemma Chan Explains How She's Different From Her 'Crazy Rich Asians' Character Astrid

Gemma Chan is on the cover of #legend‘s May/June 2019 issue, out now.

Here’s what the 36-year-old Crazy Rich Asians star had to say…

On Hong Kong: “I came here in my childhood and I haven’t been back here since then so it’s been a real pleasure to return here with my parents.”

On being a role model: “If I can be someone, just in some way, that young women can look at and feel empowered to do whatever they want to do, that’s enough for me.

On the similarities and differences with her Crazy Rich Asians character Astrid Leong: “I’d say my day to day style as Gemma is much more laid back. I love sneakers, baseball caps, t-shirts, and street wear in general. I’m not always as elegant as the Astrid look but depending on my mood.”
