Trivia

Constance Wu said in an interview that she and her acting coach, Craig Archibald, discussed her acting method in the film I Was a Simple Man. They talked about seeing oneself as a plant or an animal. Archibald explained to Fan, "choosing an animal that a role resembles 'helps you feel the essence of it.' " When the pair concluded her character was fundamentally a plant, Wu exclaimed, "This is the first time I'm being a plant!"
