In March 2017, after a global casting call, it was announced that Golding would star in the film Crazy Rich Asians alongside Constance Wu. He was first brought to director Jon M. Chu\'s attention by accountant Lisa-Kim Ling Kuan, and Golding\'s charm and personality quickly won him his first acting role. Crazy Rich Asians was released in the United States and Canada on 15 August 2018 by Warner Bros. Pictures and was met with high critical praise, becoming the number one movie in U.S. and Canadian theatres over its opening weekend. A month later, Golding appeared in Paul Feig\'s thriller A Simple Favor, co-starring Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick, playing Sean, the husband of Lively\'s character.\n', '
