Sonoya Mizuno

Crazy Rich Asianで存在感があったのはオークワフィナですね。オーシャンズ8のようないい働きをしています。一方美しさに惹かれたのはSonoya Mizunoでした。

TIMEの記事ではJapanese-British-Argentine actor Sonoya Mizuno as Araminta Leeとシンガポール人でない人物がキャスティングされていると批判の対象になってしまったそうです。。。

Given its ambitions, it’s unsurprising that Crazy Rich Asians has been held to high standards. It was criticized before a single scene was shot—specifically for the casting of British-Malaysian actor Henry Golding as Nick and Japanese-British-Argentine actor Sonoya Mizuno as Araminta Lee. But the litigation of whether mixed-race actors are “Asian enough” has overshadowed the number of cast and crew members who are Straits Chinese, such as Lim, Yeoh, associate producer Janice Chua, actor Tan Kheng Hua and Ronny Chieng, who was born in Malaysia, grew up in Singapore and cinched the multi-national life of his character Edison Cheng by attending law school in Australia. “We strived very hard to match the perfect accent to every actor, and I think we did a pretty amazing job, but sometimes we had to make concessions,” Kwan says. “Like, this actor was amazing, but he’s not going to sound like he went to Hong Kong’s top boarding school his whole life.”

ララランドの次のシーンにも登場していて、最近ではManiacという同じくエマストーン主演のドラマにも出ているようです。

すでに日本でもユニクロや資生堂のCMなどにも登場していたとは知りませんでした。

こちらはアメリカ向けのCMみたいですが、やっぱり日本と言えばWabi Sabiになるのか。。。もっと人気が出てくると無理やり日本語を言わせるCMに出たりして。
