39 Years in the Industry and Counting
With almost four decades in the entertainment industry, Macks Papo has earned respect from peers and audiences alike. Many refer to him as a legend, but he remains humble, saying he will only embrace the title once he completes 40 years in the industry in 2026.
“People like calling me a legend, but I keep saying they must give me until next year, 2026, and once I finish it, they can call me a legend,” he said.
Despite his years of experience, Macks maintains a youthful spirit, which he attributes to his passion for working with young talent.
“I like them young because they keep me young. I love training young talent because they keep me young,” he shared.
His mentorship and dedication to nurturing upcoming actors reflect his commitment to giving back to the industry that made him a household name.
A Spiritual Journey
Beyond acting, Macks revealed that he has been on a deep spiritual journey. He describes himself as a growing student of spirituality and believes he is a prophet in the making.
“I’m a growing student of spirituality, a prophet in the making, but already gifted with certain powers,” he added.
This revelation showcases a different side of Macks Papo, highlighting his personal growth and exploration of spirituality as an important aspect of his life.
