Kelly Marie Tran, Disney’s First Southeast Asian Princess, Was Bullied for Her Ethnicity and Weight


Kelly Marie Tran is an actress who came into the limelight after appearing as Rose Tico in the Star Wars sequel trilogy films The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker. In addition, she has voiced the character of Raya in the Disney film Raya and the Last Dragon.
The 32-year-old also became Disney’s first southeast Asian princess when she debuted in the latter project.
Representing her culture and ethnicity, Tran even flaunted a traditional Vietnamese dress, a black áo dài with intricate gold beaded embroidery and a matching embroidered headpiece, during the premiere of Raya and the Last Dragon in March 2021.
But despite her historic red carpet moment, the actress has had experienced bullying and abuse for her skin color, culture, as well as for not going through weight loss.
Online Harassment from ‘Star Wars’ Fans
In a contributory piece for the New York Times in August 2018, Trans opened up about online harassment after being cast in a leading role in a Star Wars movie.
“Their words seemed to confirm what growing up as a woman and a person of color already taught me: that I belonged in margins and spaces, valid only as a minor character in their lives and stories,” she wrote.
She also compared those ‘hateful’ words to her feeling of ‘fear’ when she was 9 and had stopped speaking Vietnamese because she was tired of being mocked by other kids.
Sharing her further experiences, she said she was always made to feel different and didn’t belong to the society she was living in.
“And that feeling, I realize now, was, and is, shame, a shame for the things that made me different, a shame for the culture from which I came from,” she said. “And to me, the most disappointing thing was that I felt it at all.”
Trans even started blaming herself, thinking maybe she had some flaws. “I thought, ‘Oh, maybe if I was thinner’ or ‘Maybe if I grow out my hair’ and, worst of all, ‘Maybe if I wasn’t Asian.’”
But fast forward to the present, and the actress claims she is no longer “afraid” of any comments or bullying based on her ethnicity, not going through weight loss or skin color.
“But I’m a much stronger person now, and I have the tools to react to those situations when they happen. I’m not afraid anymore. I’m finally making room for myself and asking for the things that I want. God, I wish I knew how to do that 10 years ago,” she said while speaking to the same publication in 2021.
Her Family and Heritage
Tran, who was born on January 17, 1989, in San Diego, California, belongs to Asian roots since her parents were refugees from Vietnam who moved to the country following the Vietnam War.
Reportedly, her father was homeless and grew up on the streets of Vietnam as a child. But after moving to the USA, he worked at Burger King, and her mother worked at a funeral home to support the family.
“Growing up, I’ve always felt I was from two different worlds. I was born in the U.S., but my parents were born in Vietnam, and they raised my sisters and I with the parenting methods of the Vietnamese culture. So much of me is because of what my parents experienced in this country. So much of me is because of the things my parents overcame so that I could have the luxury of having a dream,” she wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post.
The actress completed her high school at Westview High School in San Diego before graduating from UCLA with a B.A. in communications.

Kristen Stewart on Her Height Difference with Princess Diana
Kristen Stewart wanted to alter her height while playing Princess Diana.

The movie Spencer whose name is derived from Diana’s maiden name, is a fable based on actual events, according to director Pablo Larrain. In this case, the events occur at a Christmas party held at the Queen’s estate in 1991, when Diana’s marriage to Prince Charles was on the rocks, and she was tired of the responsibilities of being a royal.
Actress Kristen Stewart portrays Diana in the movie with brittle intensity. She seems to get every element right, including her high-born accent, somewhat trapped-animal appearance, and interaction with the press; Stewart is well-versed in.
At age 32, Stewart, like Diana, has evolved into a celebrity that the media can’t get enough of. Although she brushes aside comparisons to the late Princess Di, she is incredibly proud of her role.

However, it took a lot of work to play Diana. For her new movie Spencer, Kristen Stewart had to entirely convert into the late Princess Diana, which was challenging in many ways. She spent months refining Diana’s words and movement to do her justice.

The Twilight actress admitted that her curtsy “went out the window as soon as I got on set” of Spencer’s movie, but fortunately, there were royal advisors present to educate her on the numerous behaviors that an “outsider” wouldn’t typically be familiar with.
Stewart mentioned, “Once I learned the curtsy and learned we’re not supposed to go in the kitchen ourselves and steal food, all those details, I don’t really remember them. But there was always someone to make sure we weren’t going out of line and were staying authentic.”
A 32-year-old actress revealed that she got a lot of inspiration from studying historical images and footage of Diana.
“I took more pleasure in my physicality making this movie than I have on anything,” the actress said at the Venice Film Festival press conference, according to Us Weekly. “I felt more free and alive and able to move — and taller, even.”
“I look at her, the pictures and fleeting video clips, and I feel [like] the ground shakes and you don’t know what’s going to happen,” she said, playing the late Princess of Wales.
Kristen on altering the height
The actress wanted to change her height to resemble Diana more closely. “I tried to get taller,” Kristen said in an interview with The Sunday Times. “I’m 5ft 5 inches. She had such beautiful stature. I thought, ‘I wish I could grow my femur! But I’m playing Diana, and I’m not her….”

However, this is not the first time that the Twilight star faced the issue concerning height. Pairing Stewart and Mackenzie Davis in a lesbian holiday rom-com had its affirmation challenged due to the height difference between the two actresses. Davis is allegedly 5-foot-11, and Kristen Stewart allegedly stands 5-foot-5 inches tall.

Meet Andrea Barber’s Kids: Shares Them with Her Ex Husband Jeremy Rytky
Andrea Barber shares two children with her ex-husband Jeremy Rytky.

Andrea Barber was born in Los Angeles, California, on July 3, 1976. She is a writer and an actress best known for her performances on Days of Our Lives (1965), Full House (1987), and Fuller House (2016).
Barber got married to Jeremy Rytky on September 1, 2002. The couple was married for 12 years before they finally parted ways in 2014.
Alum of the Fuller House, Barber played Kimmy Gibbler from 2016 to 2020 in the Netflix sitcom. In real life, she’s a mom to two kids, Tate and Felicity, whom she shares with her former husband, Rytky.

Andrew Barber’s children
Barber gave birth to her first child, a son named Tate James Rytky, on April 30, 2004, when she was 27 years old.
She also shares a daughter named Felicity Ruth Rytky, born on April 10, 2007, who is now fifteen years old with Jeremy.
Many fans who adore Barber’s character in the Fuller House series have praised her for her role in the show. This cannot be said for her 16-year-old son Tate, who openly expresses to his mother that he is unimpressed with her on-screen character.
Tate, however, is a secret admirer of his mother’s work, and Barber once disclosed that her teenage son frequently watches her on Netflix. She said, “His friends all think it’s cool, but he’s mortified by anything I do on-screen or off-screen. But I will catch him in his room binge-watching the show. He’s a closet fan.”
The 15-year-old Felicity, on the other hand, supports her mother because she is such a big fan of the actress and has consistently expressed her utter excitement at finally getting to meet her mother’s co-star.
Felicity even made a cameo appearance on the show when she was younger, alongside Zoie Sweetin, the daughter of Jodie Sweetin. “To have our daughters be on a show that we were on when we were their age — it was this crazy moment where I remember thinking, “I never in a million years would’ve thought that someday I would have kids [who] would be on the next chapter of this series,” Jodie said to People in December 2016.
Who is Andrew Barber’s new boyfriend?
In an interview with People in January 2016, Barber revealed, “Running has been a great mantra for my life, too. It’s all about moving forward. I met my current boyfriend Michael through running. It’s great to have this common interest. Running has just brought so many positives to my life. I feel incomplete without it.”
In January 2020, Michael last uploaded a picture of himself and Barber to Instagram. The Days of Our Lives alum shared a photo of her boyfriend in August 2020 and made multiple YouTube vlogs with him during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite not sharing any recent pictures of themselves together, the couple appears to be still together.
