CWP interview with the star from The Gods Must be Crazy in Namibia in his home village.
N!xau, a San from the Kalahari Desert, was discovered by director Jamie Uys and cast in the lead role in the 1980 movie The Gods Must Be Crazy (1980). He received only a few hundred dollars for his work in that film, but was astute enough to negotiate for over half a million for his appearance in the sequel, The Gods Must Be Crazy 2 (1989). He reportedly suffered from tuberculosis during his life, and in early July 2003, Namibian officials based in the remote area of the Kalahari where N!xau lived, confirmed his death, though the exact cause of death was unknown. His age when he died was estimated to be 59, as not even N!xau himself was sure of his birthdate. To find out more about my African journey: • Courtney Waller discus...

A tree will flourish to where it is naturally found. Transferring it to any place else will make it either wither or negatively affect other species around it.
Even if he's not alive today, he is still legend and his legacy will never go unnoticed ❤
God must be crazy was my favourite film but when I see this actor living struggling I fell upset to see him,whereas I could not help him,but always my prayer is with him,lastly bro thank you for finding him and letting us to see him.

They didn't pay him well enough. They might gave some amount of money for his acting, but they didn't tell (educate) him how to use and manage the money properly. He is part our childhood memories, even as Indonesians we knew who he was, we watched his movie back in 90s. Rest in Love Legend.
Im 38 now,i watch this movie when I was 10 .Not expecting to see living his life poor,im shock . There are lots of Rich Western Actors, please help him.Ayaa..so sad to see him in this condition,lots of ❤ from Nagaland, Almighty God Blessed you long life.Thanks for video..👍🙏

just pure natural action in the set. not trying hard
He has been a wonderful man and has gifted all of us a memorable childhood i think someone in the right place should bring him back to the spot light he is still strong enough to make it
Imagine we still enjoy this movie to date, so sad they exploited him like that.
How did you even think of finding him?thank you all for your effort... I just hope he knows many people know him and his movie could be even use as a case study in the future for the future generations to come,how much of an impact he had on us all...there were no smart phones no youtube but he made us happy,those were the better times...❤❤❤
All the movies made good money someone exploited him sadly none wants to stand up for him this guy would have been a millionaire 😢

One of my favourite movies and actor of all time. He hasn't aged one bit ❤
He deserves better,he really does. The condition that he is in right now is totally unacceptable. Please do something abt this,for him
Can't have enough of that movie
He is funny to see him!!! I miss the movie and memorable day considering the movie was my teenage days...
I loved that movie when I was in my teens. He was a superstar and a great actor. He deserves something better than what he is doing today. Should be compensated and looked after well with the royalties from that movie.
The poor man doesn't even know that he is starring in a movie let alone understand the meaning of being an actor or the word famous.. wish him a good life and thank you for entertaining us with laughter 🙏

It is sad to see that much of Africa is still so poor. This movie made my childhood in Vietnam very happy. We were equally poor in the 90s, but now Vietnam is developing so fast and we no longer see real poverty. We export a lot, we have jobs and a better life for everyone, but Africa seems to be the same in the 90s.
I hope you never left him the way you found him
