We meet Asporaat – in tightly cut army green suit – in the heart of Rotterdam. Are Rotterdam. This is evident from the fact that our conversation takes place under constant attention from local residents who all seem to know him personally.
How did you come up with the idea of Bad Boas?
“We had a general meeting at Netflix, and I was complaining about Boas. I was just blood -chagrise, but one of those Netflix bosses immediately asked if I had a pitch of it. They thought I was talking about a new project. I immediately bullied:” Yes, I got that pitch at the end of the week! ” Then we quickly switched and came up with that pitch. “

Why was you so irritated then?
„Laat ik eerst duidelijk maken dat deze film niet gaat over dat we boa’s op een bepaalde manier willen neerzetten. Daar zijn natuurlijk veel vooroordelen over. Het gaat meer over hoe we de Rotterdamse buurt neerzetten. En hoe twee mannen die ver van elkaar staan, Werner (Kolf, zijn tegenspeler, red.) en ik, hun verschillen opzijzetten en van elkaar leren. Werner als voormalig agent die alles met brute kracht wil oplossen, en ik als naïeve toegewijde boa. Maar ik hoorde in Often stories from BOAs that were not completely honest.

Have you ever had unpleasant experiences with BOAs or the police?
“In general, I am not generally. I am taken aside on the road and then they suddenly check my whole car. Just in an unpleasant way. I was sometimes arrested by an error description, but then I was very young, though there was a Javanese boy who had broken a gym room to go to the desk. Still a friend of mine, haha. ”
What kind of phase are you in your career now?
“I do things that I really like and things that I find exciting. I find such a role like this very exciting. Normally I can always escape in the characters that I do. That was not the case now. I am therefore a lot more vulnerable. But whatever the reactions are, I have learned to let go a bit of what people find. I would like to go ahead. Great. ”

As a result, the pressure is also a lot larger than with the Bon Bini-Movies?
“Well, do you know what it is with those films? You always have to perform there again, because you have done it the first time. The second time they will look more at you, and after the third time people are waiting for the moment that it is not good once. So that pressure is always there.”

How do you think people will respond to Boa Jandino?
“I am sure people will find it cool. What you just saw on the street during the photo shoot also happened during filming (Asporaat was greeted and addressed by many people, ed.). People are proud of Rotterdam, and everyone participated. I come across many people who grew up with me or have seen something that they really liked. So I really just have fun reactions, just like you just saw also. Bad Boas. “

And your son also has a role in it, isn’t it?
“Yes, I was just allowed to play with my own son, that was great. My brother Kenneth has written and produced the script, and Elijah (14) plays a roll. That was very cool. In addition to Elijah I also have two, amy-lee of 11 and ni van 3, who will also be able to watch the movie. take into account. ”
There are regularly sounds that there is a lot of nuisance during your films in the cinema. That cinema staff says it will hold on to their hearts when there is a new one Bon Bini-Movie comes out. Are you aware of that?
“No, not at all. I never really experience really nuisance. I recently saw that movie Wicked That people stand up, sing along and throw popcorn and so on. I think there are some films in which people recognize themselves in the characters, whether they are white or black, it doesn’t matter. That they are going to talk and stuff. I also see that with my fans in the theater, then they will participate and think they are part of it. I think the youth do that more. I am now 44 and just want to watch a movie in the cinema. Nuisance can sometimes happen, but then app you to that number or you say something about it. I think my films are experienced as pleasant in width. “

Will people also tailor to this film abroad?
“That would be nice. I have already seen versions in which I am dubbed in Japanese and Turkish. That is really laughing to hear. I am completely a fan of Sake now. It is funny to think that such an idea arises in an office in Amsterdam and two and a half years later someone is watching this movie in Chili.”
Maybe Will Smith watches the movie during a night of Netflixen.
“Yes man, let’s go! I hope he calls Netflix and says: “I need to talk to this bro!‘Will, come here! But without craziness, Bad Boys Of course it was certainly an inspiration for us. There are also some elements in it, with a wink. By the way, I went to Miami once (the city where Bad Boys Play, ed.), Where I started talking with a couple. At one point that woman, a Spanish, asks me if I am an actor. I say, “Yes, how do you know that?” It turned out that she Bon Bini had seen on Netflix. That’s nice anyway. “
Do you still have examples, or something that you would like to achieve?

“Not really an example, but I think Tyler Perry is someone who does things that I would also like to do. He produces a lot. I want to do that more later. That I can also give other people the opportunity to play in this kind of movies. My dream is that I will no longer have to play in films, but I would love that.”
