Early life and career[edit]
Golding was born in Betong, Malaysia and grew up in East Malaysia in Sarawak. His father, Clive Golding, is English. His mother, Margaret Likan Golding,[4] is a Malaysian of Iban ancestry. Henry spent almost 5 years of his childhood in Terengganu, East Coast of Malaysia before his family moved to Surrey, just south of London, England when he was 8 years old where he went to The Warwick School, Redhill.[5] He moved to Kuala Lumpur when he was 21 to pursue on-camera roles after working as a hairdresser on Sloane Street in London for a couple of years.[6] Henry is based in Malaysia and Singapore.[2]
In March 2017, after a global casting call, it was announced that Golding would star in the film Crazy Rich Asians[7] alongside Constance Wu. He was first brought to director Jon M. Chu's attention by accountant Lisa-Kim Ling Kuan, and Golding's charm and personality quickly won him his first acting role.[8][9] Crazy Rich Asians was released in the United States and Canada on August 15, 2018 by Warner Bros. Pictures and was met with high critical praise, becoming the number one movie in U.S. and Canadian theatres over its opening weekend.[10]
Golding will next appear in Paul Feig’s 2018 thriller A Simple Favor, co-starring Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick, playing Lively's husband, Sean.[11]
Personal life[edit]
Golding married Liv Lo, an Italian–Taiwanese TV presenter and yoga instructor, in August 2016.[12]
Before his marriage, Golding completed his bejalai—the Iban rite of passage into manhood—in the wilderness of Borneo, filming the experience over two months (and carrying the camera equipment himself) for TV show Surviving Borneo on Discovery Channel Asia.[13] His journey ended in him receiving a traditional hand-tapped bejalai tattoo by Ernesto Kalum of Borneoheadhunters tattoo in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia. The tattoo on his right thigh is a fig tree that wraps around other trees and takes their form to become the tree itself.[14]
