Mandela actor opens up about ‘tragic’ incident

The actor discovered that his US based, ex-girlfriend, whom he had dated for several years, had lied to him about fathering a son and her child wasn’t his.

He told the magazine: “It wasn’t immediately obvious – well, it was, because he didn’t look anything like me. But it wasn’t immediately obvious what had gone down. The celebration of having a son – from a man’s perspective, it’s massive.

“To be given that and then have it taken away so harshly was like taking a full-on punch in the face. Pow!”

As for admitting it, he claims he isn’t embarrassed and has since moved on.

He said: “You know, the truth is, like, even admitting it, I’ll probably get laughed at for the rest of my life. But it is just tragic, and it happened.

“But I wasn’t knocked out. I stood right the fuck back up, and I ain’t aiming to take another punch in the face ever again … It happened to me. I moved on.”

The star also reportedly believes that the incident was a life lesson due to his bad boy past.

He added: “I’ve not been an angel in my life, either – do you know what I’m saying? To a certain extent, what goes around comes around. But for me in the future, I’m about being comfortable. That’s it…”
