Henry Golding continues to solidify the fact he has a very bright future ahead. Golding, whose playing the lead opposite Constance Wu in Warner Bros.’ Crazy Rich Asians and will then be seen in Paul Feig’s female-driven thriller A Simple Favor opposite Blake Lively, lands another role today.
The actors’ next project will be playing the lead in MONSOON, from writer/ director Hong Khaou (Lilting). The drama will have Golding playing Kit, a British Vietnamese man who travels from London to his birth country of Vietnam to scatter his parents’ ashes.
Golding went to Twitter today to announce his latest venture.
“Monsoon” as a script blew me a way. After speaking to Hong Khaou the director (who also wrote it), I knew this was something I so wanted to be apart of. Thankyou to those who have guided me and had faith in my abilities. You know who you are xx pic.twitter.com/jdqYcketm5
