William Gao on the shift he’s noticed in Hollywood since Hudson Williams’ breakout.
Speaking to New York Magazine @NYMag for its new feature on the growing visibility of mixed Asian stars in Hollywood and pop culture, Heartstopper star William Gao says he’s noticed a change in the opportunities coming his way:
“Since Hudson Williams, there’s been loads of people trying to get in touch with me: suddenly, more self-tapes, more audition requests, more things coming in.”
Gao says he recently found himself auditioning alongside four other Wasian men, joking that it felt like “Avengers, assemble!” While the increased opportunities have been positive for his career, he also notes how quickly Hollywood appears to be responding to the trend: “It’s kind of predictable: Let’s just hop on this trend. It’s good, but it’s weird.”
I’m sorry but it’s not healthy to have this kind of crash out everytime Hudson is seen with his LONG TERM girlfriend of like over 3+ years. It’s not a PR relationship, it never has been, and it’s your own fault for believing in tarot cards.
I did in fact just call H&M corporate to inquire about the red SNL jacket bc it’s that serious and the person legit sighed the second I gave them the item number and said “oh yeah everyone wants this” 😭😭 Hudson you’re too iconic
