From one uncomfortable thespian to another, only on this occasion annoying underwear was the last thing on Henry Golding's mind when getting to grips with his role in the recent G.I. Joe reboot, Snake Eyes.

Addressing his first week on the project once the film was finally in the can, Golding would confess that, "To be honest, it was painful." With the actor being required to fully delve into the sort of intense physicality that is required of a film so reliant on martial arts and just kicking *ss in general, Golding would recall to NME:

"The first week was literal hell. I think I cried on the phone to my manager. I was like: ‘I don’t know what I’m doing!’"

It's not hard to see why Golding found the often intricate stunts and combat sequences so difficult to navigate so early on as his previous high profile work such as Crazy Rich Asians, The Gentlemen, and Last Christmas hardly saw him throwing a punch or a kick every five minutes.

All in all, though, Golding gave a decent enough account of himself on the fighting front, even if the film itself didn't exactly set the world on fire.
