Comedian Johnny Lever has proved his mettle in comical stunts in Bollywood, but apparently his son Jesse has given up on comedy roles as fans might expect.
Junior Lever says, in a recent interview, he is waiting for acting offers but for the right role. “I want to surprise the audience,” says the 5’10, six-pack-sporting body-builder. And body building is part of his act. “I want to be different from my dad. Imagine dad with a six pack!”
“Initially, I thought I should only do comedy and stand-up, like dad. But when I started doing stand-up, all my acts flopped! On the other hand, I bagged many best actor awards when I acted in serious roles in college plays. I decided to focus on drama and music,” says the 27-year-old actor, singer and drummer.
I wanted to meet new people and get new experiences, like Jamie (sister),” says Jesse. “So, I went to London and studied human resource management.”
However, when he returned to India, he jumped at the chance of assisting his good friend and neighbour, filmmaker Punit Malhotra on his film Gori Tere Pyaar Mein! (2013). “At the end of the film, Punit felt that I had learned enough behind the scenes. I should now focus on acting because he knew I wanted to act,” says Jesse.
