Henry Golding has boarded the big screen adaptation of 'Persuasion'.
The upcoming Netflix film, which is based on the novel of the same name by Jane Austen, already had its leading lady, with Dakota Johnson set to play Anne Elliot, an "un-conforming woman with modern sensibilities".
And now, Deadline reports that the 'Crazy Rich Asians' star has bagged the role of Mr Elliot.
The plot is as follows: “Living with her snobby family on the brink of bankruptcy, Anne Elliot is an un-conforming woman with modern sensibilities. When Frederick Wentworth - the dashing one she once sent away - crashes back into her life, Anne must choose between putting the past behind her or listening to her heart when it comes to second chances.”
