HOW NADHIR NASAR KEPT HIS DREAMS ALIVE DESPITE THE COUNTLESS REJECTIONS THROWN HIS WAY
STUART DANKER
THE courage TO dream

NADHIR NASAR WAS BORN TO BE IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA, WITH EVERY PHOTO CAPTURING HIS BOYISH CHARM AND SHARP FEATURES.

And you would be right, because the 27-year-old has made most of his living being in photos, TV series, and movies. This Michigan-born talent had modelled since he was 19 before branching out into films. But before his modelling and acting days, Nadhir had also plied his trade behind the camera which, like the circle of life, he plans to return to someday, and that's being a director.

“Will I reach that goal within the year or decade? I don’t know. I’m just letting things flow organically." This is just Nadhir being modest, as he's already established his own production house and was even a finalist for the BMW Shorties 2022 thanks to his short film Villa Rosly. "But at the moment, my time as an actor helps build the skills I need to become a good director. Telling people what to do on set is one thing. But the individual actors themselves also play a role in realising the entire project, which is why I’m grateful I get to grow this way.”

Always being grateful is a big theme of Nadhir’s. Good or bad, Nadhir takes the circumstances given to him in stride. And when it comes to being on set, it’s hard not to notice how he speaks to everyone in attendance, making them feel special.
