It's been a banner couple of years for representation in Hollywood. From the success of Crazy Rich Asians to the announcement of a black, female 007 and the rise of actors like Yara Shahidi and ELLE cover star Natasha Lui Bordizzo , things have definitely been on the up-and-up.

And now, we have been bequeathed the diverse onscreen couple we didn't even know we wanted: Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding in Last Christmas, the upcoming film based on George Michael's Christmas hit of the same name. Translation? A huge win for Asian men and interracial couples in film.

To make things even better, the film also stars Emma Thompson (Late Night) and Michelle Yeoh (who played Golding's mother in Crazy Rich Asians). And while the plot and Clarke and Golding's adorable chemistry are being highly discussed on Twitter, the film's depiction of an interracial couple in the famously white 'Christmas movie' genre is garnering significant praise.

And why shouldn't it? Asian men in particular are rarely portrayed as leading heroes in Hollywood, particularly in romantic comedies, and it wasn't until the release of Crazy Rich Asians that the tide began to change.

"To All The Boys I've Loved Before was huge for Asians all over the world," said ELLE cover star, Natasha Liu Bordizzo.

"And then obviously Crazy Rich Asians... We've proven that not only is there a push for more diverse stories to be told because it's the right thing to do, but that they're financially successful, too.

"Because people in Hollywood don't care sometimes what's the right thing to do, they just need to know it will earn them money. And we've proven audiences do want to see more and hear more variety."

Suffice to say, Twitter is very much on board, with many people taking to the platform to share their excitement over the inclusion of Golding and Yeoh in the film. Scroll on to see the best reactions.
