Shona Ferguson is one of the most well-liked figures in Mzansi and he’s one of the few superstars who collaborates closely with their partners.
As many would assume, Shona’s success did not come cheaply, given that he is the most popular man in the world due to his talent and good looks. However, Shona admitted that he had to go through a lot to get to where he is now.
Shona Ferguson remembered the times when he went for an audition and one of the producers at the audition told him that he does not have what it takes, especially when he new the amount of work an d time he had put into the auditions.
He also admitted that he was also discouraged by one of the best veteran actors, when he told him that “he is not memorable and so did a lot of producers.”
Back in 2010, he eavesdropped on a certain couple that held a topic about him, when they were saying that he is overrated and had no talent.
From there, things got hectic to a point that Shona Ferguson used sunlight bar soap to brush his teeth, since he could not afford toothpaste. He ate pap and cabbage as he could not afford to buy meat. He could not even afford to buy paraffin.
Determination, tenacity, and a deep love for his work helped him overcome all obstacles.
He admitted that many in the entertainment world did not trust in him, and he was questioned if he had a backup plan in case he failed in acting because he had the necessary skills.
Shona is living proof that envying individuals without knowing their stories is wrong, and that dreams do come true if you let go of all the negativity in your life.
