Actor Henry Golding rose to fame with his role in the successful romantic comedy, Crazy Rich Asians. This British actor had no prior hopes or aspirations of breaking into the industry. He was happy working as a travel host. His many side gigs also included working as a hairstylist. When the director of Crazy Rich Asians, Jon. M Chu was making the film, he was adamant about launching someone new. He discovered Golding's Instagram and found his tourist guide videos enthralling and approached him for the role, thus bringing him to the business of Hollywood, which turned out quite successful for him.
