“I have become more introverted,” he said, explaining that he now spends more time indoors and has developed a habit of keeping his pain to himself instead of sharing it with friends and family.
Despite the changes, the actor said he hopes to become more open again, admitting that the emotional weight of fame has shaped him in ways he never expected.
Mr Macaroni also addressed the constant curiosity surrounding his love life, revealing that he has deliberately stepped away from marriage for now. He stressed that his decision has nothing to do with fame or a lack of genuine relationships but with his desire to fully understand and embrace the institution of marriage before making such a lifelong commitment.
The filmmaker, best known for his iconic Daddy Wa character, added that love and respect remain his biggest non-negotiables in every relationship.
