Who Should Play Christian & Anastasia In 'Fifty Shades Of Grey'?
Ken Jeong began his acceptance speech at the MTV Movie Awards exactly how you'd imagine, given that he'd just won the Best WTF Moment award for his full-frontal appearance in 'The Hangover': "Me and my penis would like to thank MTV and the voters."But then something beautiful happened, and viewers got to see some raw, tender emotion at an awards show known less for its awards than for the sometimes-shocking events that tend to transpire on stage. After thanking fans, Jeong quickly turned the focus to his wife, Tran, and his body quaked and tears welled as he honored her winning battle against breast cancer.
"I want to take the opportunity to thank my wife, Tran, Todd [Phillips, 'Hangover' director] and Bradley Cooper," he said, adding that his friends "helped me through a really difficult time when my wife, Tran, was going through breast cancer treatment."
The camera panned back-and-forth to Jeong's wife, and she glowed as he spoke from the heart. Ken and Tran have two children and, like the actor, she is a licensed doctor.

WTF moment number 2, "beautiful", "touching", "moving"??? Are you kidding? Don't get me wrong...good guy, glad the wife is okay, enjoy the award...but, why share a 2 year old personal medical issue, and why fill the moment full of swearing and fake gang gestures? Have fun, but know when to turn it off.

He shared the story because his wife talked him into taking the role, even though she was battling breast cancer. Know the facts before you make yourself look like a heartless jerk
to Superbombastic : Breast cancer is not just a 2 year old health issue. Once it's diagnosed and treated.. it's not the end of it. You live with the fact in the back of your mind, that this can reoccur. You don't dwell on it, but it's always there. I had a reoccurance in 4 years. It's a scary thing to go through for the patient and her family. Lot's of support is needed.
Sorry, Meghan. It's too late. He already looks like a jerk to me
I am so happy for him. Funny guy great actor and obviously amazing husband. WTG, congrats on wifes remission.

Very touching moment I really liked the tribute to his wife beating cancer touching moment. Ken Jong is a pretty good actor and very funny he was great in the hangover.

Great moment. Very touching. For the first few seconds, I thought he was joking or making fun of someone, making his voice crack and getting sentimental (since he is never serious) until they showed his wife in the audience. I thought that was a great moment, no matter how long ago it was. Cancer is a serious and continuous battle. I wish both of them contiunued health and happiness.

when he started to talk about his wifes breast cancer battle I thought it was part of the show but then I could see the emotion that was going through him. He may play crazy, wacky parts at times but I am very happy for him and his wife and I hope her cancer stays in remission. Kudos to you Ken and God bless you and your family. Thank you for sharing
