Jessica Chastain is probably the first Western celebrity I know who actually enjoys durian, a fruit that many from the west have been criticizing for centuries... This is impressive!

[weirdxwonderful]

Brave women. She brings durian to an enclosed set filled with people. Some might leave the show in anger 😂

[muhammadfathi]

South East Asia people may find it disturbing by the way Jimmy Kimmel cut the durian

[aravinthiron]

its is said to be taste like heaven and smell like hell

[minkkulborahae]

I'm korean and I have been traveling everywhere but I gotta say. Among other type of durian, the best one is Musang King from Malaysia. It's so creamy and sweet. My god, I want to go there again :( I wish covid will go away soon

When westerners wants durian they either go to Singapore or Thailand.

[chealyon]

"What's the way to eat this gracefully"

There is no way

[alexwansss]

The way she popped it in her mouth, and NONE of it got on her lips, is so impressive.
She's like "What's a graceful way to eat this on live television?", well she done did it!

[zennyboi]

I live in Malaysia. This is the godly fruit that i never get sick of. I couldn’t understand why so many people hate it. And to me the smell is just good because it means that it could be nearby.

[demeko]

Oh come on, people who say "you open it wrong", "that's not how you're supposed to cut it"... I can't wait to see you all use something you never saw before for the first time.

[thetruthtrumpsallliesfromt]

[nerissedaniellechengcapili]
