Kapanlagi.com - Denny Sumargo, also known as Densu, has had a life experience that was not as comfortable as it is now. Before becoming a basketball player and actor, this Banggai-born man used to work as a bus boy.

Not only as a bus boy, Densu also had several jobs when he was still young. He personally shared this during his guest appearance as Zero Heroes on Merry Riana's YouTube channel, a week ago on Monday (12/10).

"Yes, I used to be a bus boy, and I also worked in a workshop. I had many jobs, basically I have been working since I was a child. At the age of 6, I was already working. Actually, I started working at home when I was 4 or 3 years old, well, let's say 4 years old, I was already working at home," Denny Sumargo shared.

Since he was young, Denny Sumargo was often entrusted to others because his mother, who worked at a salon, couldn't bring her child along. When he was entrusted to someone's house, Densu used the opportunity to learn how to work.

In the house where Denny stayed, he helped out by sweeping, mopping, and cleaning the drains.

"I learned to sweep and do all sorts of things because of the house. Since I was young, I was always staying with others because my mom didn't have a place to live, so when she worked, she couldn't bring me along. She used to work at a salon and couldn't bring her child, so I was always entrusted to others. Usually, in the places where I stayed, I would help out and learn a lot, like washing dishes, doing laundry, sweeping, mopping, cutting grass, and cleaning drains," explained the 39-year-old basketball player.

2. Once a Nurse

In addition, Denny also once worked as a nurse where he even took care of the child who owned the house when Denny was 10 years old.

"I became a nurse for the child, since I was young, but I was a 10-year-old nurse. So, the child was around 5 years old and I would take him to the park, I did everything I could to survive," said Denny.
