Hollywood actor Terry Crews — best known for his roles in Brooklyn Nine‑Nine and as a host on America’s Got Talent — has publicly praised Bollywood legend Shah Rukh Khan, calling him a “super international star” and expressing excitement about the possibility of meeting him. Crews’ comments have sparked wide interest as global celebrities increasingly acknowledge the reach and impact of Indian cinema.

While talking to The ETimes, Terry Crews expressed, "Always wanted to visit India. It’s such an exotic and beautiful place. I tried some of the paneer dishes. I always eat Indian food like dal and garlic naan in LA. We love it. I didn’t get a chance to go really far out simply because it was just a short visit. Everybody around the globe wants what India has simply because it really satisfies a need in so many ways. I’m a big fan of music and dance. In fact, I am a dancer first. When you look at the culture and the way they’ve incorporated big musical performances into the movies, you don’t get that in America. It comes along once in a blue moon, like a Wicked. When I watch these major stars dancing to the amazing music, I miss it. It reminds me of the old Hollywood."

Furthermore, he added heartfelt things about King Khan, as he said, "I would love to dance, just like the stars in Bollywood. I want to mention how Shah Rukh Khan has become this super international star. I haven’t met him yet, but I’m looking forward to that. To me, he is a true example of Tom Cruise-level Indian talent that has taken over the world. His brand and his name is like those of Cristiano Ronaldo. It’s enormous."

“I would love to meet Shah Rukh Khan someday,” Crews said, adding that he views the Bollywood superstar on par with other global icons in terms of reach and appeal.
