The very funny Kenneth Nkosi, back as presenter of the second season of Class Act on SABC1 reveals exclusively to TV with Thinus that he wanted to lose weight for the show - but is losing the battle of the bulge.
Instead Kenneth Nkosi telle me he'll concentrate on being even more funny and bring more humour and shenanigans to Class Act that kicked off its nationwide audition process today in Cape Town and will start on SABC1 on 23 April.
''What I wanted to do preparing for the second season of Class Act was to lose weight. Ha ha. Right. So let's forget about that. It's not happening, it's not happening!'' he says. ''That is not happening. So what I'm thinking now is to be even more funny and be present and help to make the second season of Class Act even more exciting for viewers. I'll also be a buddy for all of the budding and beautiful actors who are going to be going on this journey.''
Kenneth Noksi says the big difference about the second season of Class Act is that girls will also get their chance to shine since both a man and a woman will be chosen to become action stars. ''This time we have girls as well. Just today we had a lot of girls who showed up to audition for Class Act and they're great! They are determined; they were here early in the morning and the addition of looking for a female action star is taking the show to a new level. I hope that viewers will get even more excited about the show - and not just watching and voting but that they will come and enter Class Act,'' he says.
I asked him what his advice would be for contestants having seen who made it further and who dropped out during the first season. ''Number one: there is no excuse in the world for coming to Class Act - for coming to any TV or movie production and not being prepared,'' Kenneth Nkosi tells me. ''So the number one big thing for contestants are to be ready; to carefully prepare. Think about what you want to wear. Think about how you want to perform. Even if you're nervous, if you are prepared, you can just shine. If you don't prepare, you are going to be dropped. Prepare! Prepare! Prepare!''
Regarding the physical demands and the gruelling pace of this show he says ''people saw it last year - I mean, Class Act is not a joke. You need to be fit. You need a mindset that you're not going to quit. One thing that people don't get is that our bodies - like a guitar - are our instruments of action. You're instrument needs to be ready and needs to be prepared. Whether you're a man or a woman.''
