Henry Golding on love, girlfriends & weddings!
25 Feb
Google Henry Golding and you’ll find an accolade of blogs by (female) fans from all over, declaring their ‘undying love (or I should say lust) for Asia’s latest hearttrob. From his early days hosting 8TV’s prime show The Quickie, this British boy has now moved on to the regional stakes as a host on ESPN. So whilst jetsetting here and there, interviewing the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and what not, I got Golding to sit down and answer a few questions about love, proposals… and oysters!
So who is Henry Golding?
Well, my mother is from Sarawak and my father is English… and I was born on the island of Borneo but grew up for the most part in Surrey, England. I always found learning in classroom environments a little tedious so as soon as I finished my GCSE’s at the age of 16. I found a calling as a hairdresser and as luck has it, was accepted to work in an amazing salon in a prestigious part of London, Sloane Square. But after moving up to London and spending about 5 years in the industry, I felt the need to spread my wings a little. I always thought that it would be such a shame if I went through life with just the one story and didn’t venture to other possibilities. After working behind the scenes in television, doing hair, I was extremely excited to try my luck in front of the camera. On top of that, I thought that I would love to live somewhere completely new and different, hence the move to KL! So I booked a one-way ticket, packed a bag I was on my way!
The rest is history as they say…
You were based in Malaysia but have now shifted to sunny Singapore. How’s life in the lion city? (more…)
