Chloé Wang (Chinese: 汪可盈; pinyin: Wāng Kěyíng; born April 18, 1992),[1] known professionally as Chloe Bennet, is an American actress, model and singer.
[6] She has six brothers:[7] three biological, two foster and one adopted; two are of African American ancestry and one is of Mexican and Filipino descent.
[9] While pursuing an acting career in Hollywood, she changed her name to "Chloe Bennet," after having trouble booking gigs with her last name.
[18] The film was originally scheduled for release in June 2018, but was postponed due to controversy around one of its cast members, Logan Paul.
[19] In March 2021, she was cast as Blossom Utonium in the upcoming CW live-action pilot Powerpuff, alongside Dove Cameron as Bubbles and Yana Perrault as Buttercup.
They're determining that we're the nerds, that we're the shy girls or that the guy that can't be sexy because he's an Asian man."
"[25] In September 2017, after actor Ed Skrein stepped down from his role as Major Ben Daimio in the then-in production film Hellboy following backlash over the fact that Skrein, a white actor, was playing Daimio, a character who is Japanese-American in the Hellboy comics, Bennet wrote a since-deleted post on Instagram in which she applauded Skrein's decision, and addressed her own experiences as an actress of Asian descent in Hollywood, saying, "Changing my last name doesn't change the fact that my BLOOD is half Chinese, that I lived in China, speak Mandarin or that I was culturally raised both American and Chinese.
However, she said that she often views work as a "very 'white' thing" in which she often has to assimilate, and the Interior set was the first one where she heard Mandarin being spoken and was surrounded by a largely Asian cast and crew.
