Support: The actor revealed his parents wanted him to go to university | VIPIRELAND.COM

Michael also admitted that his parents didn’t want him to pursue a career as an actor but when they saw his first play at the age of 17 years old, they have supported him ever since.

“They wanted me to go to university because they were of that generation when anybody who went to university had security and got a good job.

“They said, ‘Go to university first’ and I was like, ‘No I’m not going to waste time and money, I need to do this now,'” he added.

“They saw me put on that play and they thought, ‘S***, he’s serious.’ When they saw that I’d made up my mind, they knew that’s what I was going to do and I have to say they supported me immediately after that.”
