Henry Golding thinks portraying James Bond would be a 'nightmare'
Henry Golding thinks playing James Bond would be a "nightmare". The 38-year-old actor has been widely tipped as one of the candidates to replace Daniel Craig as 007, but he acknowledged that the role carries a lot pressure and expectation. Golding told People: "I think that's every actor's kind of nightmare. But at the same time, [you're] also wanting to kind of add something new to a franchise." He said the role of Bond would be more attractive if it didn't carry so much "cultural pressure". The actor – who starred in 2018's Crazy Rich Asians – reflected: "Maybe I'm just a p****. I don't know. But I think I would love it so much more if there wasn't that overhanging cultural pressure." Golding reckoned the Bond franchise should actually broaden its horizons by adding "more agents" and adopting a more open-minded approach. He said: "Why can't they bring out more agents or more OO's? I think that would be so much more fun, because there just isn't the restraints and the expectation." Golding previously described being linked to the role of Bond as an "honour". However, the actor argued that the world is not yet ready for a non-white Bond. Golding – who was born in Malaysia, but raised in the UK – told Attitude magazine: "It does seem to be a question that always comes up. It was definitely from Crazy Rich Asians, maybe [the scene with] the white suit coming out the park. "I'm Asian and everybody's fighting for a diverse Bond – sorry, white guys." Golding said it's "great" that non-white actors are being linked to the role of Bond. And the actor admitted to being flattered to even have been spoken about as a possible candidate for the coveted part.

Golden Melody Awards 2025: Trout Fresh, Waa Wei win Taiwan's top music awards
Taiwan's hip-hop singer Trout Fresh and songstress-DJ Waa Wei won top honours at the Golden Melody Awards for Mandarin chart music in Taipei on Saturday (Jun 28). "Mom, this is the closest I've ever been to Jay Chou," Trout Fresh told a cheering crowd in the Taipei Arena, referring to one of Taiwan's biggest pop stars. The singer, whose real name is Lu Shih-hsuan, beat better-known rivals including China's Li Ronghao and Hong Kong's Terence Lam to win best male singer. He also bagged the best Mandarin album award for the track Good Sound With Attitudes. Wei saw off Singapore's Tanya Chua and Malaysia's Penny Tai to be crowned best female singer for the second time. "I still want to give it a try and I still want to challenge myself... I think the hardest thing is not to give up," said Wei. "Thank you to the judges and thank you for this award. It lets me know that I can still do it. So when I sing, I really feel loved." Late Hong Kong-American singer Khalil Fong was awarded best composer for his track Twenty Three. Fong, who passed away in February, also received the jury award for another album The Dreamer. K-pop group Hyukoh teamed up with Taiwanese indie band Sunset Rollercoaster and took the best music video prize for the song Antenna, in their album AAA. Singers, songwriters and composers from Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and South Korea competed in more than 20 categories at the 36th edition of the awards.
