      Henry Golding's Wife Approves of His 'Monsoon' Gay Love Scenes

      According to the ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ actor, his wife Liv Lo is ‘more excited’ than he is about his intimate scenes with co-star Parker Sawyers in his new movie.

      Jan 1, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Actor Henry Golding’s wife is the biggest fan of his same-sex love scenes with his “Monsoon” co-star Parker Sawyers.
      The “Crazy Rich Asians” star, who is married to Liv Lo, had to get intimate with his hunky castmate in the Hong Khaou movie, but Golding had no problem playing gay because their chemistry felt so natural.
      He said, “A lot of people were like, ‘Are you worried about having love scenes with a man on set?’ I was like, ‘No!’ ”
      “I come from an understanding that love is love… It doesn’t matter if you’re Black, Latino, gay, straight, bi, it’s that feeling of yearning and that return of that.”
      “When I was talking to Hong in L.A., he already had Parker in mind for the role and so I Googled his name and his image and was like, ‘D**n, he’s handsome, he’s tall, he works out… I could be in worse positions!’ ”
      “We hit it off. Parker is such a lovely guy. It felt so natural and Hong created a really safe environment on set and that’s what you hope for as an actor on any production.”
      And Golding wasn’t the only one comfortable with Sawyers’ casting – his wife was raving about their movie coupling too.

      “I think my wife was more excited about Parker than I was – trust me, she was loving it!” he laughed.
      Henry is aware of the “sensitivity” surrounding straight actors portraying LGBTQ roles onscreen, but he felt he could justify his role as Kit in the film because the character’s sexuality wasn’t the focus of the story.
      He explained to Attitude magazine, “We live in times where it is a sensitive topic to have a straight actor playing a gay role. From my point of view, with this particular role, it was the fact that his journey wasn’t hinged on the fact he is gay.”
      “It’s almost like, yes, he’s a young gay man, but the bigger issue is who he is as a person.
      “I’m going to accept this role because of the journey it represents in this man. It’s not a journey into his queerness. It’s a journey into his history.”
      “I feel as though when it comes to important historical figures, characters that are defined by being from the community, you really need to take a moment to think, this is important for the LGBTQ community to be a part of.”
      “The question has to be asked of me: why did you even consider this role? This should be the case. It can’t go unquestioned because there lies a problem in itself. You need to hold people responsible for their decisions.”
      “They’re conversations that need to be had. You can’t turn a blind eye, you need to keep people in check, that’s the most important thing.”

      Henry Golding Stands Up for Racist Language Used in 'The Gentlemen'

      When defending the Guy Ritchie-directed movie, the ‘Crazy Rich Asian’ star further argues that criticism about politically incorrectness in films can led to restriction of creativity.
      Sep 29, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “Crazy Rich Asians” star Henry Golding is defending his 2019 movie “The Gentlemen” following accusations it features racist undertones.
      The actor, who portrayed gangster Dry Eye in the Guy Ritchie-directed movie, has addressed criticism, particularly of a scene in which co-star Hugh Grant’s character adopts a Chinese accent, insisting film fans are being too sensitive and naive.
      “If you think gangsters aren’t going to be racist and go down to the lowest derogatory terminologies, I don’t know what kind of world you live in,” he says in an interview with NME.com.

      And the “Last Christmas” star points out criticism about politically incorrectness in films can restrict creativity.
      “In this day and age of being PC, do you think that restricts art or creation? Because we have to pander to people who perhaps don’t want racist words to be on screen or projected from someone’s mouth; but in reality it’s what happens,” he explains. “Are gangsters going to be nice to each other just because they don’t want to hurt each other’s feelings? I don’t think so.”
      That said, the U.K. native thinks there’s a place to draw the line. “Of course there’s boundaries, and I felt as an Asian and as a man, those boundaries were never stepped over and it was always a safe set,” he adds. “If there is ever a time there isn’t a safe set, you know, the hand goes up and a discussion is made.”
