Henry Golding has said he was drawn to the lead role in Monsoon by feeling neither British or Asian enough to fit into either society.

The British-Malaysian actor, 33, said he shared a “sense of displacement” with the character of Kit, a young British man who struggles with his cultural identity as he travels to his birth country of Vietnam for the first time in 30 years.
