Speaking about Nahnatchka, Randall called her one of his favourite people in the world and every project the duo has worked on together has been an ‘absolute delight’ for him, reported the outlet. The actor said that this opportunity to work with her again is like an opportunity to enjoy a ‘mini-reunion’ for Jeff Chiang and others from Fresh Off The Boat and Always Be My Maybe. Randall Park, who portrayed Kim Jong-un in the controversial film The Interview, further added that he is playing an ‘absurd version’ of himself in the future. He stated that initially the role was a fictional news reporter but one day he pitched an idea of him portraying himself to the co-creator Nahnatchka. He explained that he thought that it would be funny and weird and was grateful that his idea was appreciated by her.
