In case you haven't heard yet, there's a little film called Crazy Rich Asians [1] hitting theatres on Aug. 15 — OK, who are we kidding? You definitely have! The book-to-movie adaptation stars Henry Golding as Nicholas Young, and can we just take a moment to talk about him? Aside from the fact that he's an incredibly good-looking [2] actor, there's much more to Henry than meets the eye. Get to know more about Henry with these five fun facts!

He's 31

Henry was born on Feb. 5, 1987, in Sri Aman, Malaysia. His father is from England and his mother is from Sarawak, Malaysia.

He's Married

The actor tied the knot with TV host [4] Liv Lo in August 2016 after five years together. Judging from their Instagram photos, Henry and Liv are crazy about each other.

He's a Jack of All Trades

Prior to Crazy Rich Asians, Henry worked as a presenter and travel host on BBC's The Travel Show. As a kid, he spent much of his time working at a barbershop [5] in the UK, so yes, he knows how to cut and style hair [6]. "I went into an apprenticeship, starting off as a shampoo boy — just through the trenches," he previously told the HuffPost. Henry eventually worked his way up and was recognised by Richard Ward Hair and Metrospa in London.

He Didn't Go to College

In an interview with The Blisscipline in 2010, Henry revealed that college just wasn't for him [7]. "That format of education and learning wasn't the sort of way that my brain works. I'm more hands on," he explained. "Thankfully, my parents were fully supportive of my choices and they pretty much gave me free reign."
