Khaya Dladla Opens Up About His Character GC Being More Popular Than Him! Most people would probably recognize the actor by his Uzalo character, GC and some might call him that and not know his real name.
Khaya recently opened up about dealing with the fame of ‘GC’ and fighting to make sure his brand as Khaya doesn’t get limited to just one character.
“It got so bad that I had to go to a whole media junket so I could introduce myself properly to SA and the world, as Khaya. I had to do that to express the Khaya brand because GC is very popular where else Khaya wasn’t as well known,” he admitted.
The actor has since focused on expanding her brand with TV and radio shows to make his fans know him as Khaya Dladla.
“People don’t necessarily know Khaya. But I feel like they will eventually get to it at some point. Some people are getting it and some people not yet, but it’s an ongoing process. I am a very basic person – just a hard working artist. I’m not a celebrity, I just need work,” he added.
“I am not actually afraid that GC or Gold Diva will take over because Khaya is the core. He is the real me and the source for the TV roles I play and will play as well as of social media alter-ego. It might take a while for people to get it but I am confident that they will.”
