Getting Older, Iko Uwais Becomes More Melancholic Far from Children and Wife

Kapanlagi.com - The busy schedule of Iko Uwais as a famous action actor, keeps him away from his children and wife. He can be abroad for months for shooting purposes.

Fortunately, according to Iko, he is assisted by technology so he can still communicate with his wife and two children, even though they are separated by distance.

"Alhamdulillah, Audy and I can communicate very smoothly every day, all the time we text each other. We miss each other all the time. We talk on the phone every hour, so even though I am far from my family, I still follow their developments," said Iko Uwais when met in Senayan, Jakarta, on Friday (24/12/2021).

1. Live Long Distance Relationship

However, Iko realizes that it is not easy to maintain a long-distance relationship. Moreover, he currently finds differences. This 38-year-old man admits that he feels more emotional when he is far from his family.

"Maybe it's because of my age. As children grow older, they become different. Now, maybe age and having older children make me more emotional when I am far from my family," he said.

2. Shooting Abroad

Therefore, Iko, who has just returned to his homeland after shooting The Expendables 4, did not waste the opportunity to express his longing for his wife and two children.

"Now, thank God, we are together again and spend as much time as possible with the family. When I have free time like this, I play soccer. Thank God, Audy understands my activities," he said.

3. Vacation to Canada

To add harmony to the family, Iko, who rarely comes home, plans to take his wife and two children on a year-end vacation in Canada before continuing to work on his latest project.

"I want to have a year-end vacation with my family, and also spend time with them at the beginning of the year before going far away. InshaAllah (vacation) in the Canada area," he said.

Recently, the 38-year-old man was involved in a film titled The Expendables 4, which starred top Hollywood actors such as Jason Stanham and Sylvester Stallone.

Interviewed in the Senayan area, Jakarta, on Friday (12/24/2021), Iko Uwais shared his experience while filming The Expendables 4.

"Alhamdulillah. This is a very valuable experience for me, being in the same frame as senior players who have a lot of experience," said Iko Uwais.

5. No Discrimination

According to Iko Uwais, during two months of shooting with senior Hollywood actors, he did not feel any discrimination.

"They turned out to be beyond expectations when it comes to their working environment, there is no feeling that I am a newcomer. Even though he is the main actor, as well as the producer, he is like a sultan in that circle. But he equalizes the level in terms of caste which is equally high, and what I feel is that I am very comfortable and safe in their environment and they also trust me to create my own choreography even though there is a team there that handles the choreography," said Iko.
