Divan Laing, or otherwise know as ‘Dirkie’, has become one of South Africa’s favourite characters. He palyed a ‘typical’ Afrikaans boy who’s dating Nomatriquency, the fiery character made famous and played by Lasizwe Dambuza.

Divan, who started his acting career in Grade 9 when he was part of the musical Queen, got a state of the stage and never looked back. When the spotlight was on him, he describes it as “a high that I want to keep on chasing for the rest of my life” and so he did. We caught up with this dynamic young actor to get to know him a little bit better, and have a few laughs along the way.

  1. How has all the attention been since working with Lasizwe?
    Hehehe this has just been such a crazy ride. Like I feel that my name is Dirkie now and not Divan anymore. It’s fun sometimes to be so recognised and sometimes not so fun. Like the other day a boy stopped and he was like hey you are Dirkie, gosh you look so much better now, you were a little fat in Living with Afrikaans… I just laughed.
  2. What are you working on now that we’re at Level 1?
    I am now a call actor at an Afrikaans soap called “Getroud met Rugby.” And just hustling and slowly but surely starting to audition again after a very Covid fulled year.
  3. What is the one goal you’ll never stop working towards, something particularly personal?
    My biggest goal that I am working towards in life is accepting myself. I struggle with self-image issues and also to try and live life to the fullest after I came out as gay in 2018.
  4. When was the last time you stayed up past 4 in the morning and what were you doing?
    The last time I stayed up past 4 in the morning I was shooting a horror movie and playing a cannibal eating a girl hehehe.
  5. What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
    “Fuck it, just do it.” I have always had more regret not doing something than doing something. So I am trying to break that habbit.
  6. What is one thing that you can’t do?
    Keep a man… Hehehe jokes. I can’t sing. I suck at singing.
  7. What or who inspires you?
    The actress Marlee van der Merwe inspires me. She is one of the most talented actresses in South Africa, yet she is so humble.
  8. What’s the one thing you wish people knew about you?
    I am actually an introvert.
  9. Next place you want to travel to and why?
    Greece. I just have lots of dreams of rocking a speedo on the beaches in Greece and sipping on a Pina Colada.
