"If you’re out there Lisa Kim, I still owe you one. I love you Lisa!" Golding told Jimmy Fallon last week.
"She was like, ‘I met this guy about five years ago in Malaysia. I don’t know what he’s doing now, but for me he was this character Nick Young.'"
Vulture got in touch with Kuan, who works at the film's Malaysian production office, where she revealed that the suggestion for Golding came about over a conversation with a line producer over budgets.
"When we got to Nick Young’s part, he mentioned they were having difficulties finding the right guy to play him. I thought of Henry right away," she told the publication.
Kuan said she first encountered Golding at an event in Kuala Lumpur, and imagined him as being the perfect Young when she read Kevin Kwan's 2013 novel Crazy Rich Asianslater on. Of course, she's thrilled that Golding scored the role.
"My adik[Malay for sister] said to me after [Golding’s appearance on] the Jimmy Fallon show, 'You built a bridge for Henry to get to the other side.' I thought that was sweetly appropriate; that was all I did. Everything else was down to Henry," she added.
Just another adorable story on top of the many adorable stories coming from Crazy Rich Asians, and proof you'll never know who you'll leave an impression on.
