‘Wind River’ Star Kelsey Asbille Says She Changed Last Name Because of Hollywood
January 19, 2018EXCLUSIVE
"Wind River" star Kelsey Asbille straight-up blames Hollywood for having to change her last name from Chow … it was the only way to survive in this town.
We got Kelsey at LAX Thursday and asked her why she changed her last name. Kelsey's pretty straight forward — "Chow" woulda pigeonholed her to limited roles … AKA playing the Chinese woman role.
Kelsey changed her last name in 2017 to Kelsey Asbille and landed "Wind River" … in which she plays a Native American. She says that ain't problematic at all … and explains why.
