His Wife’s Fight Against Cancer

About a year after the birth of her daughters, Ken’s wife Tran was diagnosed with breast cancer, which was a very traumatic experience for the new mother. With several treatments and after undergoing a series of chemotherapies, she finally won the battle against the deadly disease in 2010.

Tran revealed in an interview with Amy Robach, an ABC News reporter who also survived breast cancer, that her greatest encouragement came from her husband Ken, who did everything he could to ensure she was stress-free during treatment. She also said that her treatment process collided with the filming of The Hangover, which turned out to be a very therapeutic film for Tran, who laughed at the hilarious stunts Ken pulled as a Korean-speaking Vietnamese in the film. This eased the mood between the couple and the actor, and the actor also revealed that he felt he was communicating romantically with his wife during the filming of the movie, which further pushed him to give his best for the film.
