We all know that the original crazy wealthy Asian was London Tipton, but Brenda Song, the actress who played her, claims that she was told she wasn’t Asian enough to apply for the film. The charges have generated a lot of discussion about whether it was appropriate for Brenda to be turned away because of her professional background and appearance. Yet, it has also sparked some debate as to whether she purposefully underwent a double-eyelid procedure to “appear less Asian.”
Did Brenda Song have double-eyelid surgery?
Brenda has never acknowledged getting her double eyelids removed. Nevertheless, there is no proof that she underwent surgery to alter the appearance of her eyelids other than the possibility that in recent years, her eyes may have appeared to be somewhat different in form. She could have applied her makeup differently, which would also explain this.

She “maybe” underwent the procedure, and according to @celebrityplastics on Instagram, she “perhaps” had filler injected to slim down her face. These rumors haven’t been confirmed by the Dollface actress, therefore it seems unlikely that they are accurate. In the photo above, which was shot in 2004 when she was 16 years old, she looks to have two eyelids, making the double-eyelid surgery unnecessary. This is her current appearance, at the age of 31.
“I said, ‘This role is in her late to mid-20s, an Asian American, and I can’t even apply for it,'” she told Teen Vogue. I’ve always gone to auditions for Caucasian roles, but you won’t let me for this particular role? Are you going to criticize me for working my entire life? Was wondering, “Where do I fit?”
Brenda underwent double-eyelid surgery, then? Probably not, but a more pertinent query would be whether Brenda’s potential cosmetic treatment, known as Asian blepharoplasty, is sufficient justification for not considering Brenda for a role in Crazy Rich Asians. The surgery is the third most prevalent cosmetic operation worldwide and the most popular in Asia. Kevin Kwan, the author of the novel that served as the inspiration for the movie, has come out against the procedure.
Will Brenda appear in a Crazy Rich Asians sequel at some point?
The movie’s director, Jon M. Chu, said that he’s not sure how Brenda received the impression that she wasn’t welcome to audition but that there must have been a misunderstanding. In reaction to the issue, he stated that he was already a fan and never would have needed the former Disney Channel star to audition.

In one of the forthcoming Crazy Rich Asian sequels, which will be based on the other books in the series, Crazy Rich Girlfriend and Rich People Issues, Jon’s response may pave the way for Brenda to appear on the big screen. We’ll simply have to settle for watching her in Dollface, which is currently available on Hulu.
