Tareq Al Harbi, a Saudi actor and social media personality, is well-versed in the spotlight, having amassed more than nine million Instagram followers alone. Although Tareq is well-known for being funny, there is a lot more to learn about his personality behind the scenes. The real Tareq was revealed during the AB Talks interview when he talked about his misplaced anger, fame, his childhood, and the best and worst times of his life.
Al Harbi acknowledged that he is saddened by the ease with which anger can target him. Additionally, he emphasized that this is brand-new negativity in his life.The Saudi star didn’t talk much about his life, but he did talk about how much he loved and hated being famous. Al Harbi stated that he used to enjoy sketching, but that now it is considered work and business. “How can I think of a funny sketch? What I have gone through has been unbelievable,” he said.
Al Harbi, the hilarious icon he is, was instructed to impersonate teachers in order to receive bonus points for his school grades. In return, his final score would rise from “very good” to “excellent.” Al Harbi was 120 kg and 155 cm overweight when he was younger, which surprised everyone. Through exercise, he was able to lose half of his weigh in one year half.
Al Harbi got emotional during the interview and talked about the best and worst times of his life.The comedian admitted that receiving the Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid prize for the best content creator in 2017 was the best moment of his life! However, when one of Al Harbi’s partners took 1 million riyals (approximately 979,000 AED) from him, it was one of the most difficult moments. Al Harbi didn’t bother trying to get the money back because he thought it would take a long time because the partner had taken it and gone to the United States. I have a large notebook with the number of times I lost money, and it did not strike me hard; it was normal.
Tareq got the chance to be on Netflix show ” the faster”. Al Harbi, on the other hand, admits that he was uneasy when given the opportunity to speak on the first Arabic reality show on Netflix. “When I first found out, I was over the moon,” he tells The National. “I did every known dance in history. But it’s Netflix, man. It’s a global platform and you’re in the eye of many. I’ve presented several shows on television and social media, but still, at the bottom of my heart, I was nervous.”
Al Harbi says that taking on the responsibility was a no-brainer because he comes from a family of petrolheads. He has been a lifelong fan of car movies and reality shows, and he says he often wondered why shows like BBC’s Top Gear and Xzibit’s Pimp My Ride, which ran on MTV in the middle of the 2000s, didn’t have Arabic subtitles. In any case, the Middle East is well-known for its love of fast cars.
