When asked what keeps him grounded in all the star hype, he says. “My wife, my friends, my environment. I don’t feel so comfortable when I’m the center of attention.”
M’Barek, who is currently in the cinema with the film “1000 Lines” about invented “Spiegel” reports, says about his relationship to the truth: “I don’t lie, I don’t cheat, and I don’t invent any white lies. If you put my trust once abused or gambled away, it’s over.”
