As chaotic buddy comedy Joy Ride hits cinemas, co-stars Sherry Cola and Sabrina Wu talk about why this film “isn’t afraid to rock the boat”.
Joy Ride
Here, we sit down with Sherry Cola, who plays the no-holds-barred Lolo, and Sabrina Wu, who plays the charmingly deadpan Deadeye, to talk about breaking stereotypes, redefining genre and how to be in on the joke.is very much a film about outsiders. Ashley Park’s Audrey feels on the outside of her culture because of her adopted identity, but both of your characters – despite being more rooted in their families and heritage – also feel on the outside of things.
Sabrina Wu: When I originally read the lines for Deadeye I was like, “Oh, this is giving like Alan from,” where they’re just an oddball. I spent a lot of time collaborating with the writers and trying to get specific about what Deadeye is looking for. They’re somebody who is so themselves and hasn’t necessarily learned how to behave in socially acceptable ways, and is searching for genuine connection.
She is exactly who I thought Margaret Cho was when I watched her standup when I was young. Like, “Oh my God, everything that comes out of her mouth proves people wrong.” She is so not the stereotype that people wanted us to be. [Similarly], Lolo isn’t afraid to rock the boat.AB: Sabrina, was it also important to you to bring parts of your queer identity into the role?
I was all over the place in my early twenties, just partying and in college for seven years – I really didn’t have my shit together and was just figuring it out.What’s been missing on screen is Asian people making fun of themselves in a genuine, authentic way. We’ve been the punchlines and the butt of the joke for years in TV and film, and now we’re taking ownership of our identities and reclaiming the culture.
