Racing Hearts: Adam Khalid
Beneath the race car helmet, Adam Khalid speeds through life with a fiery spirit that would leave his fiercest competitor in awe. While the world may assume he revels in the fast and the furious, the 24-year-old racer finds solace in the tender tapestry woven by fashion and film. Could it be that he favours the sweet serenade of 50 First Dates over the tire-squealing frenzy?
Hey there, Adam! Thanks for swinging by. Are you feeling nervous?
Hey Asha, nervous about the questions or for the shoot? I'm quite an open book, so lay down all your questions. As for being in the studio with a camera, this is far from my first time.
Oh right, we heard you are both a sportsman and a fashion boy. Tell us more about yourself.
You almost got that right, I'm a race car driver signed with Aston Martin, but I've been trying to expand my creative portfolio lately with many design projects. I love doing fashion, especially with friends - it's a lot of fun!
Exciting! You seem to have a lot going on. What is your one unique trait?
I do; that's why I'd say I'm one of one. A unique trait?
Share something about you that only a few people know about. What's your random TMI (too much information)?
[Laughs] Here's one people wouldn't expect - maybe because I'm a racer and people assume I would act tough or a certain way. But bro, I'm a sucker for 1990s RomCom and yes, I would find every reason to talk about it. See, I'm doing it as we speak.
Maybe it is because people do not expect that from someone who deals with a lot of action.
