“One thing I am uncomfortable with about being in the public space is the loss of priv acy. However, I learned early in my career to strictly separate my public life from my personal life, and to be intentional in choosing what I share”.
Speaking about his acting career, he stated that there’s nothing overwhelming or interesting about his career but rather being a celebrity can be overwhelming. He disclosed that he doesn’t see himself as a celebrity but rather a regular man with a job with the only difference as being seen on screens. He stated that celebrities shouldn’t be seen as rich people because they also need help.
”Interestingly, I have never found my acting career to be overwhelming. I would rather say that being a celebrity can be quite overwhelming. However, in that case, I am lucky that I have never really viewed myself as one (a celebrity). I think I am just like any regular guy with a job.”
