John Abraham on not attending film parties
In an interview with India Today, John said, “I never went to parties even before I got married. I have always chosen to stay out of that because the music is too loud, and I don’t drink alcohol.”
The actor further mentioned, “I have no problem with alcohol because my father loves single malt. He is a hardcore Mallu. I have no problem with it. I can’t take the smell of alcohol. So there’s no point in me going and standing at a place where I can’t speak. I sleep at 9:30pm and wake up at 4:30 am.”
When asked what he does early in the morning, John added, “I read scripts as much as I can and devour the world news.”
John Abraham on breaking body stereotypes
In the same conversation, John spoke about breaking free from body stereotypes and focusing on films that leave a lasting impact. “When I became a producer, the first thing I did was try and change that perception because right now, for me, it’s about legacy, it’s about what I want to leave behind, what I want to do. I’m not going to do four films a year; I’ll do one film if that’s meaningful and I’ll try and make it work. Even if it doesn’t, I’m okay.”
On the work front, John’s new film Tehran will have a direct-to-OTT release on August 14, on ZEE5.
