Growing up in Malaysia, there wasn't really a problem with representation. We saw faces like ours on screen because Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, China and Hong Kong all have their own film markets. It was only until I went back to the U.K. when I realized, 'Where did all these faces go?'

I feel so much more connected with my Asian side than I do with my British side - of course, I'm proud of my British side.

There's no real test of how Asian you need to be to be able to own your Asianness, and it's always going to be an area of contention.
