What I Know Now MAY <strong>2019</strong>: ISSUE 96 <strong>AIR</strong> Navid Negahban ACTOR The whole journey to Hollywood has been a crazy adventure – and remains so; I’m still following the Yellow Brick Road, to help this Tin Man find his heart. Growing up during the Iranian revolution and Iran/Iraq war taught me one thing: you have to live in the moment because tomorrow might never arrive. I also believe that the only thing that is impossible is the impossible itself. I was in my twenties when I arrived in Germany (via Turkey and Bulgaria), and couldn’t speak German or English – but I wanted to be an actor. Now I’m 50, I can say that for sure the industry is not the bathing in milk and honey that most people may assume. But I arrived with no expectations; I just wanted to tell stories. What surprised me early on was how some creators, trying to tell a story about my part of the world, didn’t discern between Farsi, Arabic or Turkish. Some didn’t concern themselves with knowing the difference, because they were all considered the ‘same’ language as long as the words sounded foreign enough to scare the audience. I’m proud to see that changing. I love the psychological challenge of playing a multi-layered character, as it allows you to learn more about yourself. I compare the process to diving into a swimming pool, sitting at the bottom while holding your breath, getting to know your limits, and hoping that you have enough air left to swim back up and get out of the pool. All the screen personas become part of your library, but you should never forget that you are the librarian. You have to monitor that all the books are checked back in, and are put away when you are done reading them. If not, it will make you lose your sanity. When it comes to advice received, I could write a book about all the wisdom I have been given. From my grandma to my parents, I have been given so much incredible guidance – and I believe everyone who crosses your path is there to deliver a message: you just need to be open to receive and decipher it. A pertinent lesson my father used to tell me was, “Pesaram (my son): when you are unhappy about where you are in your life, look down, as there are hundreds of people who would like to be where you are. And when you are feeling so full of yourself, look up: there are millions of people above you.” Navid stars as The Sultan in Disney’s live-action remake of Aladdin (in cinemas this month), while in June he reprises the surpervillan role in X-Men spinoff series Legion 72
