William Adams vertel sy maats al van kindsbeen af hy gaan eendag roem bereik. Nou, as \u2019n akteur in \u2019n Netflix-produksie, blyk sy woorde waar te word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
William (22) van Louwville is deesdae te vinde op die stel van \u2019n nuwe Suid-Afrikaanse fliek in Johannesburg, waar hy aan Kings of Queenstown <\/i>werk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
N\u00e1 \u2019n lang dag op stel, wat 04:00 begin het, het William aan Weslander<\/i> vertel van sy jongste projek en hoekom hy eers meer van die w\u00eareld wil sien voordat hy na die Weskus terugkeer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaardie eerste dag op stel het alles so onwerklik gevoel. Die projek is verskeie kere op ys geplaas weens die pandemie, en ek het soms maande niks van die span gehoor nie. Ek het regtig begin moed opgee, maar toe kom die oproep en ek moes binne dae op \u2019n vliegtuig wees,\u201d s\u00ea William.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
William het verlede jaar \u2019n rol in di\u00e9 sokkerdrama losgeslaan, maar dit was nie \u2019n uitgemaakte saak nie. In Johannesburg moes hy eers aan \u2019n bootcamp<\/span> deelneem om te verseker hy is fiks genoeg vir sy rol. Met sy akteur-spiere was daar egter geen fout nie, want di\u00e9 het William selfs deur die pandemie besig gehou met verskeie produksies op die planke. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Hy het saam met Joshwin Dayson, Jason Olivier en Marunzo Thomas verlede jaar die stuk Hostel Lights<\/span> die lig laat sien. Saam het hulle self die toneelstuk oor die lewe in \u2019n seunskoshuis geskryf en opgevoer. Die produksie het die hoofprys by die Zabalaza-fees in Kaapstad gewen met \u2019n twee week lange lopie by die Baxter-teater in September, as prys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Freddie Ruiters (23), \u2019n skoolvriend van William, s\u00ea hy onthou goed die dae toe hy en William liedjies geskryf en saam gerymklets het. \u201cOns was ook in dieselfde kerk. Hy het altyd ges\u00ea hy gaan beroemd wees en ek het geweet met sy kunstigheid gaan dit eendag gebeur,\u201d vertel Ruiters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Hy meen William se jongste rol moet gevier word aangesien hy \u2019n suksesverhaal is wat hy hoop ander jong mense sal inspireer. Ruiters meen ook juffrou Queenie Adams se ondersteuning en talente het \u2019n groot rol in William se sukses gespeel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Juffrou Queenie, \u2019n onderwyser by Eden Prim\u00ear, is aan die stuur van die skoolkoor en bied ook drama aan. Op die vraag of haar seun sy talente van haar gekry het, lag Queenie terwyl sy s\u00ea: \u201cSeker. Ons is saam maar so.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dit is juis Queenie wat voorgestel het haar seun skuif van die Ho\u00ebrskool Weston na Schoonspruit Sekond\u00ear in Malmesbury, waar groter fokus op kunste is. \u201cVir baie het William as kind stil voorgekom, maar by die huis het sy sibbe hom altyd stilgemaak. By die huis was hy vol stories en passies en sy broers het altyd gekla hy wil nie sy mond stil hou nie,\u201d vertel Queenie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n William se studies aan Northlink was \u2019n moeilike kronkelpad weens die covid-pandemie en Queenie s\u00ea die finansi\u00eble druk van betaal vir \u2019n jaar waarin daar geen klasse was nie was ook \u2019n uitdaging. Sy meen egter sy sal dit weer deurmaak vir haar kind se droom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n William s\u00ea ten spyte van sy rol in die Netflix-produksie is sy droom nog nie ten volle bewaarheid nie. \u201cMy droomrol is \u2019n aksiefliek soos Training Day<\/span>. Denzel Washington in daardie rol is uitstekend,\u201d meen William.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hy s\u00ea baie werk l\u00ea nog vir hom voor voordat hy sy eie Training Day<\/span>-rol kry, maar intussen wil hy eers meer van die w\u00eareld sien. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDit is so maklik vir mense om mekaar af te breek. Ek dink my gemeenskap kan by tye baie close-minded <\/i>wees, maar ek sal nooit vergeet waarvandaan ek kom nie. As tiener het ek reeds besluit ek gaan nie toelaat dat ek deur euwels in my gemeenskap ingesluk word nie. Ek glo alles gebeur met \u2019n rede en dit was nodig dat ek vir \u2019n tyd uit die gemeenskap moes gaan, maar ek glo dit is belangrik om weer terug te keer en \u2019n positiewe verskil te maak op die plek waar jy vandaan kom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Intussen is William in die stad van goud besig om aan sy droom van kuns en roem te werk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" William Adams vertel sy maats al van kindsbeen af hy gaan eendag roem bereik.
