Some actors toil for years in bit parts or small projects that fail to get them noticed by the mainstream. This was not the case for Henry Golding, who shot to worldwide fame with his starring role in 2018’s “Crazy Rich Asians.” Golding had mostly worked as a television host prior to the film, but his turn as romantic lead Nick Young completely changed his path. It also changed the way Hollywood viewed Asian men and the kinds of films in which they belong. “You can have Asians being leading men that are sex symbols,” Golding told InStyle. A sex symbol is exactly what Golding has become, thanks in large part to his charm and in large part to his aesthetic.

Let’s start with the basics: the man is gorgeous. “Sure, Henry Golding Is Hot, but Have You Seen Him Shirtless?,” PopSugar asked alongside a selection of photos that could melt a popsicle, while Buzzfeed crafted their own piece entitled, “Henry Golding Is So Handsome It Hurts, And Here Are The Photos To Prove It.” Beyond the face, bod, and hair, Golding is a master at dressing sharp, with his love of luxury watches and willingness to think outside the box in terms of patterns, colors, and textures. His style has been praised by outlets such as GQ India, who called him “a bonafide fashion god.” In 2022, Golding was listed on SheKnow’s list of hot Hollywood daddies — but we prefer to think of him as zaddy.
