Actor Ian Nene of Machachari: I didn’t grow up with many positive male role models

Former “Machachari” actor Ian Nene, also known as Almasi, shared insights into the challenges he faced during his troubled childhood and his transformative spiritual journey in a recent interview on the Man Talk Podcast.

Nene opened up about the toxic environment of his childhood, particularly the abusive behavior of his stepfather after his biological father left. He acknowledged the lack of positive male role models during his formative years, expressing the impact it had on his perception of masculinity.

Growing up without a good example of men in his life, especially with his biological father absent, Nene emphasized the importance of mature and confident male figures during his youth.

Nene also discussed his spiritual journey, highlighting his shift from Christianity to Hinduism. Raised in a Christian home where questioning religious beliefs was discouraged, he started exploring spirituality during his university days in the UK. A significant turning point was receiving a book from a friend who identified as a monk, leading him to seek spirituality beyond the confines of Christianity.

The actor recalled a moment when he learned about his mother’s stage four breast cancer diagnosis and how he coped with the pain by resorting to smoking weed. This period prompted him to become a vegetarian and connect with monks who introduced him to a temple, where he spent significant time, especially during holidays.

Nene’s spiritual exploration resulted in profound lifestyle changes, including embracing vegetarianism and immersing himself in the teachings of monks. He attributes his current spirituality to a deep and scientific understanding of God’s role in the world, addressing his questions and finding solace in his transformative journey.

Former Machachari actor Almasi also known as Ian Nene has been on a spiritual journey as he tries his true purpose on earth. This comes months after hinting that he was part of the LGBT community that seems to have embraced back in the UK where he was schooling.

Part of the new changes are his buddhist monk religion. As seen on his social media pages, Ian Nene seems at peace and contented the man he has since become.

However we cannot say the same for his fans who continue to follow up with the former actor despite quitting his acting career. Most of his Kenyan fans seem worried for the young man; as they have never witnessed such ‘spiritual’ callings especially in the African setup!

Ian Nene explains his religion

The dictionary describes a monk as a person who decides to dedicate his life to serving all other living beings; or to be an ascetic who voluntarily chooses to leave mainstream society and live his or her life in prayer and contemplation.

Well this is also the same explanation Ian Nene gave after one of his fans went on to inquire why he now values cows. The fan went on to ask;

Ian Nene naomba unielimishe ngombe Ina ashiria nini katika imani yako mpya ya dini?huenda nikapata faida kutokana na elimu utakayonipa.DM is ok

To which Ian Nene aka Almasi responded by saying;

Swali lako yanipa furaha. Maana ya kuweka picha kama hizi kwa mtandao ni kuonyesha kwamba sio ng’ombe tu, lakini wanyama wote ni wa Mola. Na shida yetu kama binadamu ni tumeamua kwamba sisi ndio hupanga maisha ya wanyama wake. Ng’ombe ni kama mama. Yeye hutupatia dawa, maziwa na ulinzi. Mbona sasa tuwauwe wanyama wa Mungu? Shida yetu ni kwamba ulimi zetu zinatulinda Kufanya mabaya duniani… na ni lazima tubadilishe tabia zetu zinazotupoteza maishani.

Ian Nene aka Almasi on smoking bhang and homosexual behavior

Former Machachari actor Ian Nene popularly known as Almasi caused a stir when photos of him smoking weed and posing like a homosexual man went viral.

Homophobes taunted Nene on social media when he posted photos of him on Instagram posing with a flower on his head like a woman.

Nene, an actor-cum-model, however has no regret over his controversial gay photos. He told Word Is that he wanted to create emotion by expressing himself the way he wants.

He also explained that he doesn’t give a damn about what people think of him because critics will always judge him for whatever reason.

“I feel like with every picture I post on social media, I want to create an emotion and I have my own reasons for it regardless. Me putting on a flower is like it’s like a liberation of art. We are getting to a place where expressions vary and you can use any form of expression that you want as an individual. So that was just me and I worked with really good photographers to see the different aesthetics I can do. People are quick to judge and the fact that I don’t respond, they will say anything. I don’t feel like I am entitled to talk about my personal life with anyone, so whatever people say, I just allow it. Because at the end of the day, they will judge me regardless. Even if I correct them and tell them who I am, it’s not going to change anything. People I work with know who I am. I don’t care what the rest say,” Ian Nene said.

On smoking weed, Nene explained that the photos were taken during a photo shoot and that smoking marijuana wasn’t his lifestyle.

“We were invited to an event to make it have a particular look. People were quick to judge, thinking that’s my lifestyle. That’s not my lifestyle, I do my own things the way I like. What people said or saw doesn’t define my life!”

 

Almasi finally addresses rumors claiming he is gay!

It is secret that former Machachari actor Almasi also known as Ian nene has changed from the innocent young boy we all watched grow….thanks to the local TV show.

He changed from an innocent boy to a totally different teenage boy who wears a bullring and one that paints his nails – something that left many questioning his sexual orientation.

Most of his fans were pretty much convinced that he was gay but he chose to ignore this until just recently when a fan left a comment under his photo pleading with him to come out since it was ‘clear’ to see that his behavior was not that of a straight man. The fan wrote;

“@ian_nene I love gays. I’ve never had anything against gays. I even know a gay guy vhen I see one and trust me I noticed you one during the machachari days. Just hoping you’re not in the ‘closet’ or In denial. Always be yourself and never let anyone look down on you or judge you for anything. NEVER!, We’re all human everyone has their wrongs so no one should ever tell you nothing.”

Surprisingly, Ian actually responded with a statement that brushed off the rumors claiming he was now ‘playing’ for the same team. He wrote,

 

“you’re just wrong girl. You noticed wrong girl. My apologies. Truth is you don’t know a gay guy when you see one. And I am not gay LOL. You are the people we need to change. tHIS MINDSET OF THINKING YOU KNOW SOMEONE JUST BY LOOKING AT THEM IS MESSED UP.”

But question still remains, why is he dressing like a woman? Anyway controversy always sells, right?
