John Cho Says Teen Son Noticed ‘Harold & Kumar Go to White Fortress’

After 20 years, a brand new era is discovering the wacky journey that’s Harold & Kumar Go to White Fortress… together with star John Cho‘s children.

The actor mentioned that his teenage son had a “fairly good takeaway” after seeing the stoner comedy for the primary time as he and co-star Kal Penn just lately celebrated the milestone twentieth anniversary of the primary entry of their trilogy.

“My 16-year-old apparently noticed it,” Cho revealed this week on The As we speak Present. “I needed to ferry the daughter out of the home, she’s not prepared for it. However apparently he noticed it, and his takeaway was, ‘So, you will have met Ryan Reynolds?!’ It’s a fairly good takeaway. Not a nasty factor.”

Cho’s interview comes after Penn and producer Nathan Kahane recounted how Reynolds’ cameo as a nurse “acquired the film greenlit,” following Penn’s look in Nationwide Lampoon’s Van Wilder (2002).

“Ryan was extremely supportive in the course of the audition course of for Van Wilder,” Penn advised Rolling Stone. “Within the ultimate callback, it was between me and a white dude in brownface for the a part of an Indian trade pupil. He mentioned to me, ‘How do you’re feeling about improv?’ So we improvised the scene, and he was clearly rooting for me to get the job. The whole manufacturing was superior. He advised me as soon as in passing, ‘If you get your first lead, let me know and I’ll play the supporting man.’ When Harold & Kumar occurred and we have been speaking about cameos, I reached out to Ryan and he was instantly like, ‘Sure, completely.’”

Harold & Kumar Go to White Fortress follows the titular roommates, performed by Cho and Penn, as they deal with a case of the munchies with a late-night jaunt to the titular fast-food chain, however a sequence of chaotic occasions ensue alongside the best way. The duo reunited for the sequel Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008) and A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas (2011). 

Kahane advised Rolling Stone they’re “having conversations proper now” a few fourth installment, as Penn, Cho and co-writer Jon Hurwitz all expressed their willingness to return.

“Might be,” Cho advised As we speak of the potential sequel. “I feel it could be enjoyable to do it. It’s a bit little bit of a really early 2000s film in loads of methods, however I’d like to see if we may.”
