- ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ author Kevin Kwan described Kris Aquino as a ‘highlight of the movie’–the Crazy Rich Asians film.
- Kris Aquino, who was deeply flattered, posted Kwan’s interview on her Instagram account.
When Kris Aquino was featured on TeenVogue for her role in “Crazy Rich Asians” as Princess Intan, the novel’s author, Kevin Kwan, has nothing but nice words to the Queen of all Media.
On her Instagram page, she posted a portion of Kwan’s interview with former US Ambassador to the Asian Development Bank and commentator Curtis Chin. In the video, Chin called Aquino the “super celeb-interviewer-media star” as he asked the author about the actress’s role.
Kwan then answered that not only she is in the film, but she’s actually the highlight of the movie. “She’s definitely in the movie.
“She’s a highlight of the movie, for me, she’s ahighlight of the movie.”
The author even joked about how Aquino doesn’t really need his help in promoting.
“She doesn’t need my help. Everything she does goes viral.”

Aquino shared that she won’t argue with those wanting to downplay her role in Crasy Rich Asians as believes in the quote “Work hard in silence, let success make the noise”.
may ilan na gustong i-downplay & maliitin yung pagkasali ko sa @crazyrichasians, 🎬🎥because i chose to believe in the wisdom of the saying: Work hard in SILENCE, let SUCCESS make the noise… i’m very blessed because i never had to utter a word- the writer & creator of the Crazy Rich Asians trilogy already said it all for me.
