Meet Hakon Ademi

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Hakon Ademi. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Hakon below.

Hi Hakon, so happy you were able to devote some time to sharing your thoughts and wisdom with our community. So, we’ve always admired how you have seemingly never let nay-sayers or haters keep you down. Can you talk to us about how to persist despite the negative energy that so often is thrown at folks trying to do something special with their lives?

well, to be honest, I have never experienced hate from anybody who does better than myself. All the people from my level and up are super supportive and motivating. And all the people that I receive hate from its people that I think having a big issue with themselves! I think these people wanted to do something with her life, But they never did. And I really feel sorry for a lot of these people who have such regrets about not following their dreams, but I will also take this time to say, please don’t influence others to not chase their dreams and reach their potential! People need support, not hate!
The end of the day the haters are my fans, And I do really appreciate them for following every step that I do pointing out my mistakes, Because only by mistakes you learning. And Thank you for always thinking about me and keeping me living, rent free in their minds!

Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?

My job is entertainment mainly. I work as an actor and a model. And I have been a part of big productions such as movies and tv series as well as smaller productions such as student films and social media content. I have played Cristiano Ronaldo a lot! and I enjoy every single moment of it!
I really enjoy my work, I love acting the most! But I also enjoy modeling and because of my background in sports I have a very strong passion for fitness and very healthy eating habits which have let me into the world of modeling as well as a lot of my roles as an actor.
As an actor I usually gets casted as either a sports guy or a Mobster/ Villian I love that so I am supper happy, but the roles I really enjoy the most (Other than Being Cristiano Ronaldo) is the comedic characters, the clumsy or not so bright characters, they are definitely the most fun!

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

I will say hard work and dedication! You have to work hard to achieve what you want you have to be dedicated and I think that’s the most important thing no matter which career you want to pursue.

I will also recommend everybody who are interested in becoming an actor to start acting training or considering take some acting classes, go to an acting school. Go to the theater and watch plays, read plays.

And also don’t be afraid to fail, Don’t take rejections personally! See what you can learn from it and keep moving forward! You will face defeat and you will face rejection, but it’s up to you how you’re dealing with it. Never give up!

What is the number one obstacle or challenge you are currently facing and what are you doing to try to resolve or overcome this challenge?

This is a very interesting question! Because what many people might think it’s my number one concern right now it’s wherever I’m gonna get booked for a job soon or not. Or if I gonna have a good role in anything upcoming soon, it is actually not my concern right now, I’m in a pretty good spot I having some projects upcoming in the near future, And thanks to my team of agents and Manager. I’m also pretty much busy auditioning and booking work. My number one concern is actually my legal status, I graduated from New York film Academy in April 2024 with a bachelors of fine arts in acting for film, So now I’m on my OPT Which is an temporary visa for graduates to work in their field but it only lasts for one year, and by that time I will need to get approved for a new visa so I can stay in the US legally and work legally. And that’s a lot of work and I will also need an attorney to help me with that process. So that is actually my biggest concern right now. But I have already started to look into the case and by the time is due I will have a solution! Stay Positive!
