Looks familiar? Yup, he is our lovable, the one and only, Xixo the Bushman from The Gods must be crazy (TGMBC) film and its following sequels. Here are some interesting trivia of him.
- His real name is N!xau (Hah, try to pronounce that!). Lifespan: 1944-2003 (sadly, died at the 'green' age of 58)
- Before his appearance in the films he had little experience of typical "modern" living.
- He had only ever seen three white people before being cast and was unaware of the value of paper money.
- He earned only a few hundred dollars for his work in TGMBC, but by the time of the first sequel he had obtained enough understanding of money to negotiate a much larger sum to appear again.
- He had wasted most of his money that he earned due lack of knowledge in managing it, although he used some of it to build a brick house with running water and electricity for his family.
- After his film career ended, Nǃxau returned to Namibia, where he farmed corn, pumpkins, and beans and kept several head of cattle.
- N!xau had difficulty counting more than 20 (he probably then never heard of the word Algebra which it is an Algae + Bra. Lol).
- He was buried next to his second wife grave (I guess the Bushman is a polygamy community. Talking bout collectivism).
