 What is one thing that celebrities in Kenya do, that you consider something you just can't do? Something that I can do ignoring fans, like I can't stop, I can't stop for a fan to take a photo, you understand? I can't reply a DM if I have an opportunity, so one thing I don't like doing to my fans is being a snob. Ya, because I've been snobbed by people, people who snob me right now, sorry to say, we're in the same industry right now. They go for meeting brief, I am there, but there are people who snob me so badly when I was there. But I've never even told them because I'm not here to say on any, at you or Mulinidoraw, who is laughing now, no, no, no. I've been through these things, I've been snobbed, I've been humiliated, so I really try not to do the same to my fans because they are the people that have grown me. A behavior that you had to change for you to move forward in life? No, I had to quit smoking, and yeah, quite a smoking. And there is another addiction, I won't mention, I also quit that. So that, I mean, the actually two addictions for the last five years have been amazing for me since then. I'm fine, thank you so much, we thank God. By the way, this is my first time interviewing you, by the way. Ya, ya, I've been interviewing many people, I've been attacking. All your brothers, I spoke to them. That is the first time they actually did an interview in their life. Aha. They have never. This is about it, you know they are your big brothers, they came through for you. What are your thoughts about that, and what do you have to say to them? Ah, quite an emotional moment, they are emotional feelings, but I just want to appreciate them for their support. They don't go for shows, they came that time. I saw them, I was surprised. And I don't know, now appenda to Sana. Ya. Now to Mia Terrence, because people came through when Corona Terrence. Pole, pole, pole. So people came through, what is the most surprising thing about that event? The most surprising thing is to me, it was a confirmation from God. It's like an affirmation that my son go, this is what I called you for, go for it. I brought these people, I didn't see people, me I saw love. Ya. Those volumes of people, that was love, that was love. Mbaka size ya digest, but I still can't get over, and I can't sit there and say to you, me minister, oh I have numbers, no. Ya. That is God. Ya. That was God, that is God. Yes. Wow now, okay particular movie you know, any watch on screen. Uli kwa na pressure, kutahenda je. I know you are just confident that kutahenda 2. Wa, wa, wa, wa. I have so much pressure, but I have to give it up to one person that is Vinichepi, my wife, for standing there in the gap. She is actually the person who was pushing more. She was a person who was doing the organization. I was so much freaked, but I say it, God, I've done what I was supposed to do. I've done all the marketing I know. I've spoken to everyone that I know, you take it over from there. Ya. That's what I did. And I just say, even when we were shooting, even when we were planning, I told guys, in ya mungu, because we have never done that. I've never spent so much money on a project, never. That was the first project, every expensive project that I saw, spend a lot in terms of energy, in terms of attention. And when I see all these people come, I say, ya ni mungu wewe, wewe ni mungu. Nuktapa ni anzi kulia. Ucilia, ucilia Terrence. But now talking about films, looks like you've launched your career in film already. Because we're here because of volume, the series, it's on Netflix Terrence. This is your first role, you are on Netflix. What are your thoughts about that and how was the experience working with Tosh Gitonga? Amazing, amazing. Again, I say this is God. First of all, I just want to congratulate Tosh Gitonga. For those who don't know, he's redoing this movie again. We had shot it again, something happened, one of the cast. And we did it again. I think when he gets time, we can explain to you what happened. And he never gave up on this project. And when he called me, Tosh Gitonga is the first person whoever put me on TV on a commercial, TVC, TV commercial. It was a safari kum. And he paid me good money. That was long time ago. That was like seven, eight years ago. He becomes the first person also today to put me on Netflix. He put me on Netflix before my movie put me on Netflix. So it's such a good coincidence. And this set was so much amazing because I'm doing something that I'm not used to do. It's not your normal Papa Fred, normal Kiateka, normal Kamami. It's a different role. And it challenged me, but I thank God that it went well and people have loved it. Now, during your speech just a few minutes ago, you mentioned that Tosh gave you free equipment to shoot your movie. The thing that I shot, you see, all the camera gear, everything that I used camera, Tosh gave me the part here for free. So it's been a brava. But God bless you so much and I'm happy to be here. Yes. Tell us about that. Amazing. So I went to Tosh. As I said, Wachishwa was very costly in terms of equipment and everything. I went to Tosh and told him I need to do this movie. I told him actually last year. Because last year I did a series. It's called Wababa Nation. I did that series. Tosh gave me the equipment. There is a camera gear. He gave me the camera gear through his company camera gear and primary pictures. When I was shooting Wachishwa, I looked at the budget and said, bro, this is the kind of production that I want. This is the quality that I want to produce. I went to Tosh and told him, I want you to help me with camera for certain days. He said, it's alright bro, come for it. I didn't believe. Because he's on the quality camera. If you saw what we did on Icon, those are quality cameras. If I was to hire them, for example, they would have cost me 3 million. Yes. But it gave me for free. And I don't take that for granted. And he's been so supportive. Because I call him for everything. And I told him, what do you think? And he advised. When he called me for the movie, he said, hey bro, kuja? Kuja is a movie. Nanda kulipa. And he pays. He pays good. I said, kuja nanda kulipa. I said, say bro. Wachatuni kuja. Wachatuni kuja. Kuja is stuck in Superstar. Nikule Temaretka. Ni ni ni ni ni. Because na sa idea na humeni sa idea. So, I feel like this guy has that heart of giving you gear for free. Then giving you a movie that he'll appear on Netflix and still pays you. And he got, aku bless you sana tosh. God bless you. Ya. Nimi onapale kumchondor. Se ma'i cheren sa betengeneza, pesa mingi sana. Yes. Pesa umetengeneza. Nimi mwen kuze vacation munenda wapi December. Ku do kishi amili shukurani. First of all, where I am right now, I'm not into minting money. Whatever I'm looking for in terms of money, I'm looking for money to invest in my art. What I've been able to shoot and the money that I get from whatever. It took me two years to shoot Wachatuni because I was saving. Ya. And I approached our partners. What I normally do, I sell a vision to people. I sell a dream. Right now I'm telling you, in terms of cost, nukumenshonia kamera. Ie njetoshani nipatia, nge-dikos 3 million. But nipeo for free. Nelewa, nukumenshonia. But at the end of the day, you have to put down a budget and say me, if this is what this movie cost. Either you got it for free or not. So, sezi se mati nimetengeneza ma pesa. But I also appreciate I don't want to complain. Whatever I have, I thank God that I'm able to sustain myself. My family, I can cater for my basic needs. Neneza patia, atotwata healthy, issuarens, you know. I can try and build a few things. In that, nisekwena stragul sana kamamsani. In that, whatever I want to achieve as an artist, I'm able to achieve. So I do a lot of saving. Every income that I get, I do like 30% before anything. For the sake of my art and why I want to take my brand. So, I can't complain. Among all your characters, Terence, which is your favourite and which one do you consider the easiest to execute? Every character that I have from Terence Creative, the brand, all of them appreciate them because each brand has taken me from one level to another. I started with Kamami. It introduced me to the social media world. I brought up Kiateka. I can't play Kamali. I handle all my my characters equally and I try to give them each of them their attention that they require for them to pop out. So I can't sit here and say, this is better than that. Each character contributes to Brand Terence Creative. So I treat them equally and I pay attention to all and I invest in all equally. Yes. I ask you, Malizia, quick for your question. Number one, what is one trait that you appreciate the most in your wife? Very consistent. Never giving up and she's very loving and forgiving. Yes. The biggest lesson life has taught you so far? The biggest lesson that life has taught me not every friend is meant to work with you through your entire life journey. Okay. Now next question is what character traits if a friend possesses they can no longer be your friend or rather just a person possesses they can't be your friend? Someone who intimidates the poor. Okay. Someone who is so much proud. Someone that disrespects God. Those one I cannot. Yeah, because if you, I normally say if you're not, don't look down upon anyone unless you want to leave them up. So if you don't come away in blasphemous, we respect God, we're any pretender, you know. Those are the traits that I do away with. I normally don't lose friends, I categorize them. So I put you in your category. Nadia, are you? Right, alright, alright. Next up. I quit and so you need. But I don't like pretends. I like real. What you see here now online is for those who have interacted with me is what you'll get offline. So if you can't be real offline then I don't see how we will be real online. So we have to be real offline before we come online. Second last question. What is one thing that celebrities in Kenya do that you consider something you just can't do? Something that I can do ignoring funds like I can't stop. I can't stop for a fund to take a photo, you understand. I can't reply at DM if I have an opportunity. So one thing I don't like doing to my fans is being a snob. Because I've been snobbed. By people people who snob me right now, sorry to say, we're in the same industry right now. They go for meeting brief. I am there. But there are people who snob me so badly when I was there. But I've never even told them because I'm not here to say on any at you or on any other how. Who is laughing now? No. I've been through these things. I've been snobbed. I've been humiliated. So I really try ataka mani mechoka. I really try not to do the same to my fans because they are the people that have grown me. A behavior that you had to change for you to move forward in life? Too, I had to quit smoking. Ya, quite a smoking. And there is another addiction. I won't mention. I also quit that. There are actually two addictions. For the last five years have been amazing for me since I quit. Bonus question. You are a girl dad. What is that one value that you want to instil in all of them? What I want to instil in my daughters is value humanity and the future. The future. I normally say the future will question you. So whatever you do today just remember that the future will question you tomorrow. So you have to be very responsible and very careful with what you do today because the future will question you. And when it's question new you better have the answers. Alright guys, there you have it from Terence Creative. Asante. And congratulations. Thank you for watching our Netflix and of course getting us to watch your film Icon the Movie. Ya, wakujekwa www.terence.ke So we are streaming it from 22nd.
