Everyone has been raving about “Crazy Rich Asians” since its debut. Chrissy Teigen is one of the latest to jump on the bandwagon.
Having watched the Jon M. Chu-directed movie, the 32-year-old model took to Instagram to review the show. She also urged netizens to support the film after sharing how “Crazy Rich Asians” impacted her family, particularly her daughter.
In the series of photos, the first shows her and crouched down next to her 2-year-old daughter, Luna. They were admiring a window display of a mannequin dressed in a sparkly white gown that resembles the one worn in the movie. The window also had a signage that read “Crazy Rich Asians” on it.
The next picture showed Luna cuddled up to singer John Legend as their eyes were glued to the cinema screen while sitting comfortably in their red theatre seats. The 3rd shot is a video of the Grammy-winning artist having a sweet father-daughter moment as they dance to the rolling of the movie credits.
In one touching moment, Teigen recalled how Luna was blown away when she yelled “yāy!” (which means grandma in Thai) because “she saw someone who looked like her yāy. Someone beautiful and aspirational.”
“It was something that simple that made my heart just…warm. That made me happy. It made me happy to see this over the top story done from so many angles, some I could totally understand because of my own confusing Asian American upbringing,” she wrote.

When one fan commented on why she “never acknowledged that you are also white”, Teigen replied with the wittiest remark ever! This just proves why she’s the queen of Twitter 😉
“Crazy Rich Asians” is out in cinemas now.
