outmagazine: #Out100 honoree @KellyMarieTran first won our hearts as Rose Tico in the Star Wars sequel trilogy and as the voice of Disney's first Southeast Asian princess in 'Raya and the Last Dragon!' ✨ Now, she's stepping into roles that reflect her truth — and embracing every part of who she is.
In Andrew Ahn's update of Ang Lee's classic rom-com 'The Wedding Banquet', she played half of a lesbian couple opposite Oscar nominee @LilyGladstone. After filming the role, she publicly came out as queer, sharing that it was the first time she'd ever been on a queer set — and that she felt like she wasn't "acting at all" while playing her character. 🌈
"The greatest gift you can give yourself is to explore yourself fully, grow continuously, and love what you discover," she says.
