Khaby Lame, TikTok star, set to make feature film debut

Khaby Lame

Khaby Lame, the Senegalese-born Italian influencer, is about to embark on an exciting new venture as he makes his feature film debut in an action-comedy. As the most-followed content creator on TikTok, Lame's popularity has soared, and now he is ready to take his talents to the big screen.

The English-language spy comedy, tentatively titled '00Khaby,' will see Lame playing the role of a food delivery rider who gets recruited by the CIA. The film is set in various glamorous locations such as Italy, the U.S., Monte Carlo, Dubai, and France's Côte d'Azur. Lame's character, a JustEat rider, accidentally crosses paths with a dissident scientist, leading to his recruitment by the CIA as bait to mislead enemy secret services.

In an entertaining twist, as the clumsy secret agent runs from arms traffickers and steals DNA samples, he must also navigate his complicated love life. Dealing with his jealous Italian Chinese girlfriend and her annoying little brother adds an additional layer of humor to the film. Despite these challenges, the agent's unshakeable optimism, cunning, and a stroke of luck enable him to foil a potential World War III.

Produced by Marco Belardi, the mastermind behind the wildly successful 'Perfect Strangers,' the film promises to be an exciting addition to the spy genre. Belardi aims to mount an international production and is currently in talks with prominent international directors. This ambitious approach reflects the scale and potential success of the project.

For Lame, this opportunity represents a dream come true. Acting has been his lifelong aspiration, and he is determined to give it his all. As a dedicated artist, he is investing in acting and English language lessons to improve his skills. Lame also understands the importance of physical training, as he wants to perform his own stunts in the action-packed scenes.

This exciting news doesn't end there for Lame. Following his attendance at the Grammy Awards, where he may even present an award, he will also make a prominent appearance at the Super Bowl as part of a marketing campaign. These high-profile events give him a chance to showcase his talent to an even broader audience.

Lame's rising star has caught the attention of Hollywood heavyweight Will Smith, who has reportedly booked him for a cameo in an upcoming film. This opportunity serves as a testament to Lame's immense talent and potential in the entertainment industry. Meeting Smith will undoubtedly provide him with invaluable advice and guidance for his budding acting career.

Beyond TikTok, Lame has already begun to explore various entertainment avenues. He served as a jury member on 'Italia's Got Talent' last year, and his persona has been immortalized in the popular video game 'Fortnite.' Additionally, Lame has established strong connections in the fashion world through a multi-year partnership with renowned clothing brand Hugo Boss.

As Lame continues to captivate audiences with his unique brand of comedy, his transition to the silver screen sends a clear message: he is a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry. With his remarkable success on TikTok and his growing influence, Lame's feature film debut is highly anticipated. Fans eagerly await the release of '00Khaby,' eagerly anticipating the laughter and excitement it will undoubtedly bring.
