“Kung Fu Panda was a rare movie that got Chinese culture right,” Awkwafina said in an interview.

Animation has featured Awkwafina before. She is a professional rapper as well, and she has provided the voice of several series, including Raya and the Last Dragon, The Little Mermaid, The Angry Birds Movie, and Migration. But the actor finds a deeper, more intimate connection with Jack Black’s character Po when he plays the corsac fox Zhen in Kung Fu Panda 4.

Awkwafina, whose mother is Korean American and her father is Chinese American, was born in New York and raised distant from her native Asia. But Awkwafina was raised by her paternal grandparents after her mother passed away when she was four years old. She was quite close to her grandmother, but she didn’t speak English. Therefore, in order to converse with her, the actor studied Mandarin. Interestingly, her great-grandfather built Lum’s, one of the earliest Chinese restaurants in Queens, after immigrating to the US in the 1940s. In her family, dumplings were just as frequent and revered as they were for Mr. Ping in Kung Fu Panda.

Awkwafina discusses collaborating with Jack Black on Kung Fu Panda 4, the franchise’s benefits for Asian Americans like her, and more in an exclusive interview.

“Watching Kung Fu Panda as an Asian American child growing up… At the time, I felt that there weren’t many films depicting the more traditional cultural customs that I had grown up with in my family. The relationship with his (Po’s) father, the love of dumplings, the filial piety that permeates it, and even the way it portrays the Valley of Peace physically is how I picture a hamlet. Therefore, it was great to see a film that appropriately honored ethnic traditions, Awkwafina explains in a special interview.

Vivienne Jolie, Angelina Jolie’s daughter, shuts down the 2024 Tony Awards by removing Brad Pitt’s name.

At the 77th Annual Tony Awards, Vivienne, the 15-year-old daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, attracted attention with her stylish attire. The mother-daughter pair looked lovely as they arrived in color-coordinated attire for the event on Sunday in New York City. This appearance follows the announcement that Vivienne had chosen to drop her father’s last name, and that Shiloh, her older sister, had presumably submitted legal paperwork to do the same.

At the Tony Awards, Vivienne steals the show alongside Angelina Jolie.
In their ongoing “War of Roses,” Brad Pitt might have certain legal advantages. However Their kids seem to have unflinching support for Angelina Jolie. On Sunday, June 16, 2024, the actress (49), accompanied her 15-year-old daughter to the Tony Awards in order to commemorate the success of The Outsiders, a project she produced that garnered a whopping 12 Tony nominations, including Best Musical.

In a stunning teal Versace gown that flowed like a Grecian dream, Angelina, who is also hosting an award show tonight, looked like a million bucks. She added flair to her ensemble by accessorising with a matching shawl. Her 15-year-old daughter Vivienne, nevertheless, might have been the true star of the event. Vivienne wore a cute matched costume consisting of a white shirt, teal vest and trousers. She was recognised as a producer assistant on her mother’s show, The Outsiders. Finally, for the evening, Jolie and Vivienne adopted a carefree “hair down, no worries” demeanour.

How Vivienne and Angelina ended up in a Broadway show
‘My daughter Viv loves theatre,’ Angelina told Deadline in a previous interview, explaining how the Maleficent actress became involved in the Broadway show. Angelina was motivated to take part by Vivienne’s passion for The Outsiders play since she could see how much it connected with her daughter. The mother of six noted at the time, “She appreciates all theatre but she certainly knows what she feels close to and what she responds to.” Jolie continued, “And then I had the honour of witnessing everyone labour over the course of the last year to make it into what it is, and Vivienne has been there the entire way.”

Vivienne disappears The name Brad Pitt
The newest Brangelina daughter to reportedly have dropped her father’s last name, “Pitt,” is fifteen-year-old Vivienne. She was listed as “Vivienne Jolie” in the playbill for The Outsiders, according to InTouchWeekly, implying that she has decided, like her sisters, to stop using her father’s name. The young celebrity has made it obvious that she is a member of Team Jolie, even though she must wait until she reaches 18 to file formal documents like her sister Shiloh did.
