Ken Jeong on MTV Movie Awards

Ken Jeong won the Best WTF Moment award in last night’s MTV Movie Awards for his famous role in the “Hangover”. He became so emotional when he delivered his short speech, mentioning his wife Tran’s recent battle with breast cancer.

“Todd and Bradley Cooper, a good friend of mine, actually helped me through a really difficult time when my wife was going through breast cancer treatment,” a tearful Jeong told the audience. “The reason why I [appeared in ‘The Hangover’] is that she taught me that life is short, so don’t be afraid to take chances.”

The crowd erupted with applause.
