According to the actor, Lehasa will soon make choices that could reveal a new side of him.

Drawing Parallels Between Actor and Character

“The similarities we have are resilience, love for those we hold dear, being healthy, taking bold decisions in life, and confidence,” he said. “I like that he can have anything he puts his mind to. He doesn’t let little things hold him back. He’s self-made and intelligent.”
However, the actor also acknowledged areas where Lehasa’s personality diverges from his own.
“I don’t like how he loses his cool, even when there’s an opportunity to first reason and think. He’s also sometimes led by emotions,” Cedric admitted.
