Crazy Rich Asians is filled with a star-studded cast, and Harry Shum Jr. is no exception. Though his character, Charlie Wu, has a small role in the film, there is a good chance we'll be seeing even more of him if the movie gets picked up for a sequel. Spoiler: his character has a pretty big role in the books. So, just who exactly is Shum playing? Here's what you should know about Charlie.
Warning: spoilers for Crazy Rich Asians ahead.
Who Is Charlie Wu?
Charlie is Astrid's former love and ex-fiancé in the book trilogy. Though Astrid's parents disapproved of him when they were dating because he didn't come from old money, he eventually becomes a tech billionaire. Even though he goes on to marry a woman named Isabel, he still has deep feelings for Astrid in the first novel.
