He revealed: “As an actor, I’ve always looked for roles that have a personal connection for me.

“I transitioned from running the streets as a teenager and young adult to finding my faith.

“I now realise that my purpose is to help others growing up in situations like mine.”;

He added: “Eating every three hours took a toll on me. I don’t know if I’d be willing to do it again.”;
