“My mum got me a job in my rival soccer team’s club shop, so I had to wear the tracksuit of Fulham, and I am a Chelsea fan. After that, I left home to work as a model in Japan, Italy, and France. At 19, I turned to acting. I told enough people I wanted to do it, that gave me the fear of not doing it”.
