Who Is Stephanie Hsu? 6 Facts You Don’t Know About Star Of 'Everything Everywhere All At Once'
Hsu's character in the movie, Joy Wong, is a disgruntled young woman with a strained relationship with her parents. Without further delay, here is everything you don’t know Stephanie Hsu.
Now an Academy Award–nominated actress, Hsu, 32, is on her way to becoming a household name after her gripping performance as the disgruntled daughter Joy and, in every universe in the multiverse, the diabolical villain Jobu Tupaki in Everything Everywhere All At Once, earning her a nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
The Fargo actor asked Hsu for a picture and the young actress jumped out of her booth, happy to oblige. "That was crazy," she told the reporter after he left. "It's all crazy!"
The actor always knew she wanted to pursue acting as a career. “I remember being really young when I told my mom I wanted to be an actress,” Hsu told the Los Angeles Times last year. “She pointed to the TV screen and said, ‘How can you be an actress? There’s no one that looks like you!’” Hsu said her mother's words did not deter her; she knew they came from a place of love and protection.
“My mom’s not as much like that as I am, but she is very strong and persistent and smart. And when you bring in (the factor of) an immigrant family, it’s a lot about you have to be excellent in order to survive in this world that was not built for you. That was a huge narrative growing up for me.”

"I started in experimental theater and comedy. I never wanted an agent, never wanted to do commercial stuff," Hsu told the outlet of her early career aspirations. "Truth be told, I think I was really afraid to sell out, because at that time there was no Crazy Rich Asians. I was one of two Asian people in my acting class, and then one of maybe less than 10 people of color in the whole department."
"When I was finishing school and living in New York, (good) roles were not available in the mainstream," she said, referring to accented or stereotypical roles instead of more empowering ones. "I had no interest in selling myself or just shrinking myself to an inappropriate cameo just so that I could say I added one more thing to my résumé." Her luck changed though. By 2019, she originated the role of Christine Canigula in Broadway musical “Be More Chill” while squeezing in time to appear in “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," a dramedy series.
Hsu's audition tape for "Everything Everywhere All at Once" captures the beginning stages of her Oscar-nominated performance, a role that would go on to shape culture. Her character inspired Halloween costumes, including ones of the canine variety. Hsu saw a picture of one pug with her character's black braided hair, and reposted it on her Instagram last October.
"This photo was brought to my attention and I literally was transported out of this universe into another where I am a pug and only have other pugs and babies for friends," she captioned the post.
