Henry Golding oozes action hero cool as he heads to promote Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins on Kimmel

He’s set to play one of G.I. Joe’s most iconic characters.

And Henry Golding looked like quite the hero as he arrived at Jimmy Kimmel Live! to promote Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins on Tuesday.

The Crazy Rich Asians actor, 34, radiated leading man cool donning sunglasses, a fitted black tee shirt, skinny jeans and Chelsea boots to the interview.

Henry, who just became a father for the first time with with Liv Lo, was mask-free when he got to the studio, letting him flash one of his swoon-inducing smiles.

But as Golding got close to fans waiting to see him, he slipped on a face-covering.

After masking up, the Malaysian talent signed a few autographs and took selfies before slipping into the studio. 

Henry was making the rounds right after the release of the final Snake Eyes trailer ahead of the film’s Friday, July 23rd release.

The highly-anticipated movie dives into the backstory for the beloved action-figure/comic character.

The official synopsis says: ‘Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins stars Henry Golding as Snake Eyes, a tenacious loner who is welcomed into an ancient Japanese clan called the Arashikage after saving the life of their heir-apparent. 

‘Upon arrival in Japan, the Arashikage teach Snake Eyes the ways of the ninja warrior while also providing something he’s been longing for: a home. 

‘But, when secrets from his past are revealed, Snake Eyes’ honor and allegiance will be tested — even if that means losing the trust of those closest to him.’ 

Talking about the role during an interview with Ellen DeGeneres last month, Golding explained: ‘It restarts the G.I. Joe universe and we concentrate on one of the most iconic characters which is Snake Eyes. 

‘And we start right at the beginning – his origin, who he is as a person, his mistakes, his lessons, his goals and it pretty much opens the window for exploring the rest of the characters that we all know and love.’

For the action movie, Golding had to hone his martial arts skills and he told Ellen that ‘the training was intense.’ 

‘It was a lot of sword work… Four hours a day of choreography and an hour and a half of training a day for two months,’ he went on. ‘It was a real trial by fire but the action sequences are out of this world.’

Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins comes out Friday July 23rd.
