The actress revealed during an appearance onLive with Kelly and Ryanon Tuesday that she hasn’t seen her 2019 filmHustlers.

“I still haven’t seen it. The last movie I saw of mine wasCrazy Rich Asians,” Wu, 37, said.

Wu explained it was difficult to see herself on-screen, saying, “It was watching that movie, after that experience, that I stopped watching anything.”

“I didn’t watch my talk show appearances orFresh Off the BoatorHustlers,” she continued. “Just because I thought, you know, I want to focus on the present and not be self-critical and think too much, dwell too much on the past.”

Wu recounted how she prepared for the role in Vulture’s oral history in September, saying, “I went to a lot of strip clubs in San Francisco — that’s what I spent my Christmas Eve doing.”

“I went with two of my guy friends and we went to five different clubs. It was so f— fun. And nobody knew who I was. I’m not really that famous. Also nobody expects this sitcom mother of three boys to be in a strip club.”
