If it’s good enough for ‘one of the finest actors of this generation’, it’s good enough for us. Recently, on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show, American actress and Academy Award nominee Jessica Chastain shared her love of ‘the King of Fruit’, Malaysia’s own durian.
The actress, known for her roles in movies such as Mama (2013), Interstellar (2014) and The Martian (2015) as well as TV work in ER and Law & Order: Trial by Jury, called the durian ‘the Blue Cheese of Fruits’ as she ate with the show’s host.
In 2012 Chastain won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Drama, and it certainly looks like she thinks durian is a winner. Here’s the video:
