From the Grammy Awards to the Superbowl. Now Khaby Lame is a celebrity. He is thanks to social media. His dream is always to win the Oscar? "More than one - he tells the Corriere della Sera - In the meantime I'm going to star in a film, Marco Belardi proposed it to me". In the film "I will be 00Khaby, a secret spy. We will shoot in different parts of the world: Los Angeles, Italy, Montecarlo, Abu Dhabi. I will have to solve an international problem and I will not get away with it easily. I will have to sweat it out and I have decided that I will not want to use stuntmen, I will train".
And the same Belardi "is making a docu series about me. He says he sees in me something that resembles a phenomenon of cinema. We film all the moments I am living, all the meetings I am having, the backstage of my life. I hope to be able to not only make people laugh as has happened so far but also to move".
In the meantime, he will make a cameo "with Will Smith. He and Eddie Murphy have always been my favorites. Every day I watched The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. We have not met yet and I do not know what I will tell him. I thought a thousand things and in the end I think the most stupid thing will come out of my mouth. I really want to talk to him with my heart".
Then he talks about the meeting with Tom Cruise. "He is dyslexic and dyscalculic, like me. Yet, he confessed to me that he learns every script by heart. It was stimulating to listen to him. I am a fan of Lionel Messi but when I met Cristiano Ronaldo he became my favorite for how he encourages everyone with a big heart".
Khaby is ambitious, he is not afraid of anything: "I have always dreamed big. The problem is expectations. In the public houses, for example, the boys try to dream. But then you go on and understand that you are abandoned. I speak of blacks, whites, Chinese, Indians. All. Abandoned. Under elections the councilor on duty arrived with popcorn and Coca Cola to make promises. And then he disappeared, always. So it's hard to dream. So you can start to do the wrong things, to hang out with people who are not good".
At Corsera Khaby also talks about religion but without fanaticism. "I am Muslim, I strongly believe like the rest of my family. In respect of all religions I live my life trying not to hurt anyone". And his religion prevented him from taking easy money from advertising that he does not share: "I am absolutely against advertising products like cigarettes or alcohol. I have given up a lot of money because I have been offered many but I do not want to push in any way to the consumption of those products".
Luckily he did not have to suffer from racism: "The luck was just growing up in the public houses because there are all, from Moroccans to Romanians to Albanians. How can you be racist? That thing is hard to pass. Then, there is always someone made in the old way".
In the meantime he recently got married to Wendy Thembelihle Juel and he really wants to become a father: "I really like children and I would like to have a large family like the one I come from, we are seven. As soon as I have a moment to stop I would like to start thinking about it". How did you meet his wife? "I won't tell you this. But we still have to have a wedding party. We will organize it in a year".
