Italian influencer Khaby Lame, the most-followed content creator on TikTok, is about to embark on a new adventure. Lame is set to make his feature film debut in an action-packed spy comedy titled “00Khaby.” The film will take Lame, who will be playing a food delivery rider, on a thrilling journey around the world.
The Plot
In “00Khaby,” Lame will portray a JustEat rider who inadvertently gets involved with a dissident scientist. The CIA then recruits him as bait to mislead enemy secret services. As he runs away from arms traffickers and steals DNA samples, Lame’s character must also navigate the challenges of a jealous Italian Chinese girlfriend and her annoying younger brother. However, with a mix of cunning, luck, and unshakeable optimism, he manages to save the day and prevent World War III.
A Stellar Team
The spy comedy is being produced by Marco Belardi, the mastermind behind Italy’s megahit concept dramedy “Perfect Strangers.” Belardi is no stranger to success, having helmed remakes of the show in various countries. The screenplay for “00Khaby” is being written by Italian writers Nicola Guaglianone and Roberto Marchionni, also known as Menotti. The duo previously co-wrote the hit offbeat Italian superhero movie “They Call Me Jeeg.”
Hollywood Calling
Belardi, accompanied by Lame and the “00Khaby” screenplay, is heading to Los Angeles in search of a global production. He is reportedly in advanced talks with a renowned international director. Lame, on the other hand, has his sights set on Hollywood, and he is determined to hone his acting skills and perfect his English. He plans to meet with a Hollywood star, rumored to be Will Smith, who will offer him valuable advice on navigating the film industry.
From Factory Worker to Global Sensation
Lame’s rise to fame is an inspiring story. He was a factory worker in Italy until he was laid off in March 2020. Seeking a new path, he turned to TikTok, where his absurdly comic skits quickly went viral. His humorous videos, which rely on facial expressions and body language, transcend language barriers and have garnered him a staggering 162 million TikTok followers. Lame’s talent also caught the attention of the entertainment industry, leading him to be a juror on the popular talent show “Italia’s Got Talent” and a character in the world of “Fortnite.”
A Bright Future Ahead
