He wrote, “Dear 20-year-old me, There are making your mark in this new world as an actor… Let me be honest, you are going to face some brutal rejections. Shy and unconventional, you will try your hardest to fit in but fail… spectacularly! People’s criticisms and doubts will be hard, it’ll make you question your dreams. You will fail more than you will succeed. But spoiler alert, it’s all going to be worth it…because one day slowly but surely, you’ll realise, being yourself can be your greatest strength. So stumble a little but don’t stop. Keep pushing the boundaries and don’t let the world’s expectations turn into inhibitions. “Always be true, always be you.” PS_ Learn how to dance and it’ll help you in the long run. Love, an older, wiser and better looking you.”
