Joy Ride: Sherry Cola confirms “sexual tension” between lead characters
Sherry Cola is “ready to read some fan-fiction” about Lolo and Kat from Joy Ride. Directed by Adele Lim, the universally-acclaimed comedy stars Cola, Ashley Park, Stephanie Hsu and Sabrina Wu as four mismatched chums on a bonkers and debauchery-filled adventure to China.
Joy Ride was lauded for the chemistry between the four leads, its raunchy sequences and trailblazing depiction of Asian-American women in the genre.
Following the film’s international release, audiences have been ‘shipping’ Cola’s sex-positive artist character Lolo with Kat, a famous Chinese actress played by Everything Everywhere All At Once star Stephanie Hsu. “GIVE ME THE JOY RIDE SEQUEL NOW AND GIVE ME THE KAT AND LOLO GAY ARC,” said one enthusiastic viewer, while another tweeted: “Thought Lolo and Kat were gonna fuck like why did they give them sm weird sexual chemistry.” Although the two initially come into conflict with each other, Cola acknowledges there’s a lot of “sexual tension” between the characters – particularly in a scene where they engage in a slap battle. “That was foreplay.
That was an aphrodisiac. That could be its own little spin-off,” Cola tells GAY TIMES. “Oh listen, I’m ready to read some fan-fiction about Lolo and Kat.
