Bradley Cruise: Why did you want to be an actor?
Maximilian Acevedo: I want to be an actor because I want to influence people for the better. I want to be an escape for people’s reality. Life isn’t always easy and my personal outlet was always movies and television. So whenever I watched anything growing up, it gave me a motivation to be a part of that someday, so I too could make people feel what I was feeling. I want my work to motivate people to want more for themselves. I’m an actor because I’m a creator, but most of all, I am here to create emotions in people from all parts of the world.
What important lesson did you learn at a young age?
I learned at a very young age that the amount of work and consistency that you dedicate to your body or performance can make you unstoppable, and that you can achieve anything that your heart desires. I was an only child and had to figure out a lot on my own as a result.
Why do you love fitness? Do you have any fitness tips?
It’s like a natural high. Workout tips I would give to people is to not lift with an ego, leave it outside the gym and workout with proper form and equipment. If you’re new to the gym, start off with light weights and progressively increase as strength goes up each week and month. It’s a lot easier to hurt yourself than you’d think. I’ve learned my lessons the hard way.
