Golding's 'Crazy Rich Asians' stardom lands him more roles
Even though Henry Golding garnered instant fame from starring in the smash hit "Crazy Rich Asians," the British-Malaysian actor isn't sure if he'll ever eclipse his meteoric success in the box-office hit.
But he's determined to put in the work to continue his amazing year.
The 31-year-old actor starred in his first-ever movie role as the suave, Oxford-educated heir Nick Young in "Crazy Rich Asians." The romantic comedy spent three weeks at the top of the North American box office and grossed more than $173 million in North America alone.

It was the first Hollywood film to have a predominantly Asian-American cast since "The Joy Luck Club," which debuted 25 years ago.
