Exclusive: Constance Wu on her emotional monologue-driven scene in Amazon’s SOLOS
Now playing on Amazon Prime Video is the highly anticipated Amazon Original anthology series Solos, created by David Weil and starring Academy Award-winning actors Morgan Freeman, Anne Hathaway and Helen Mirren, Emmy Award-winning actor Uzo Aduba, Nicole Beharie, Anthony Mackie, Dan Stevens, and Constance Wu.
The seven-part anthology series explores the strange, beautiful, heart-breaking, hilarious, wondrous truths of what it means to be human. The series spans our present and future and illuminates that even during our most isolated moments we are all connected through the human experience.
For Constance Wu, who’s best known for her role on the ABC sitcom Fresh Off The Boat and the blockbuster films Crazy Rich Asians and Hustlers, her performance in the episode “Jenny” had her channeling the days when she was in drama school. She plays Jenny, who is, “very drunk and in a waiting-room setting. “She doesn’t know where she is and how she got there. And that’s what she’s got to figure out.”
BlackFilmandTV.com’s Wilson Morales spoke with Wu about her performance and what that feeling was like, shooting a scene where it’s all her and no one else in the room.
