NPRLonely In The Club: Constance Wu On 'Hustlers' And Her 'Unprecedented' Career Enlarge this image toggle caption STXfilms STXfilms When we meet Constance Wu's character Destiny in the new movie Hustlers, she's the new dancer at a gentlemen's club. Sponsor Message The movie, which is inspired by the true story of Jessica Pressler's New York magazine story "The Hustlers at Scores," sees Ramona take Destiny under her wing. And also, social media just makes people lonely in a way they don't realize because they're still getting some kind of social stimulation — but it's not tactile. And it was so great because so many times when I'm in an environment that's a lot of men, I feel like I have to either be cutesy or girly or sexy, or I have to act like I'm one of the guys to fit in.. And so when we were all in locker room scenes of Hustlers — all women, all shapes and sizes, all different ages, all ethnicities — nobody had to pretend like they were one of the guys. I actually know a lot of guys who have been saying, like, "Oh, you know, it's a great time in Hollywood for women."
