Henry Golding is no stranger to working with a team to complete important missions.
00:06.2
Before he became an actor, he says that one of his most meaningful experiences was helping in the rescue and recovery efforts in Tacloban, Philippines during the devastating Typhoon Haiyan in 2013.
00:18.2
On screen, he has played his share of heroes, including in his latest film, the action comedy The Ministry of Ungentle Manly Warfare, where he portrays a highly skilled special missions operative.
00:30.4
And your character in this movie is a survivor. Did you relate to him in that way? Because I remember years ago, he completed a rite of passage and survived the jungles of Borneo.
00:39.2
I had a lot of fun with Freddy. He's such a wild card. You never quite know kind of where his head's at.
00:48.2
Obviously, he has this very cheeky, sort of playful side to him, especially when he's with his team.
00:55.7
But when it comes down to the mission, it's sort of like he's laser focused. He's obviously the demolitions expert.
01:03.4
So there's a lot of kind of weight on his shoulders when it comes to completing those missions because a lot of the mission relies heavily on his good work.
01:18.2
That was a lot of fun to play.
01:20.2
I love how unpredictable your roles are.
01:23.6
Yeah, you're telling me.
01:25.8
The actor's career journey from hairdressing to TV presenting to travel hosting and to becoming a Hollywood leading man has been an eventful one.

Golding's breakthrough role in Crazy Rich Asians helped pave the way for the industry to change their perception of Asian actors, resulting in more roles and representation.
01:45.0
An absolute delight seeing you rise in Hollywood.
01:48.2
Seeing you grow in your craft as an actor.
01:52.0
How would you describe your experience in becoming the actor that you are now?
01:56.0
Really, really, really blessed and lucky that I've got to work with some fantastic people and multiple times.
02:04.0
Like with Guy, this is my second film.
02:07.0
With Paul Feig, we're just, we're filming Simple Favor 2 right now and that's my third film with him.
02:14.6
I've been able to choose these projects that are so different.
02:18.0
So diverse, so sort of challenging in many different ways and have allowed me to learn an entire spectrum of my craft.
02:28.5
So for me, I've been so, so lucky.
02:32.1
And I'm with Dolly De Leon here in Munich filming Nine Perfect Strangers.
02:39.4
And she's amazing.
02:40.9
She's such a phenomenal bastion for Filipinos around the world.
02:46.7
And she's doing like...
02:47.9
Fantastic, fantastic work.
02:49.7
So I'm really proud of her and I'm sure you guys are as well.
02:53.6
Golding adds that making The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare was one of the best filming experiences he's ever had.
03:00.6
For some crucial scenes, the cast and crew spent weeks in a boat in the middle of the ocean
03:05.5
which cemented their friendship and camaraderie that can be seen in the movie.
03:10.6
Yong Chavez, ABS-CBN News, here in Hollywood.
