Ken Jeong Put Easter Eggs in "Hangover" Role To Cheer Wife Up During Cancer Treatment
In a Sunday Sitdown with Willie Geist, Ken Jeong shared that while playing Mr. Chow in "The Hangover," he would speak "gibberish" in Vietnamese as a way to cheer up his wife, Tran, who was diagnosed with breast cancer before filming began.
The movie's crew made sure Ken could film around his wife's chemotherapy appointments. "In many ways, I view maybe the raunchiest, dirtiest movie I’ve ever been a part of, like, the most warm set behind the scenes," Jeong said. Tran has been cancer-free for 18 years.
