Nadhir Nasar keeps to himself, or at least that is what people think. While the public tirelessly dissects every step he takes yearning to decipher his true sentiments - little do they realise his emotions find expression upon a vibrant canvas that he cleverly disguises as mere acting."Here's a secret to how I bring life to heavy scenes within each character I portray and every scene I enact, I subtly infuse a part of my authentic self. My acting is a diary of my emotions," he shares.
Having graced the screen for years, we have come to appreciate Nadhir's discerning approach to selecting roles - ones that are profound, thought-provoking and leave a lasting impact. His latest venture, ASTRO's groundbreaking release, Projek High Council undertakes a voyage of questioning academic institutions' credibility while delving into the intricate and intimate nature of teenage boys. Nadhir's portrayal of an anti-hero challenges societal perceptions of ethics in Malaysian pop culture, daringly blurring the lines between good and bad. "When acting, I'm living the life of someone out there somewhere. Whether from the past, present or sometimes in the future." He aspires to be the conduit for untold stories, the voice of the people. Entering the studio, Nadhir's presence exudes an illuminating aura that fills the room. "He has the face of an angel," commented our Creative Director. Adorning his wings for the June/July issue in the Fendi Summer '23 Capsule, he carried the ethereal charm effortlessly. Beneath the surface, one would discover that what he shows on screen are the countless characters he kept within him.
