And while things did get off to a good start, Darnell does admit that he had a rocky road to stardom at first. That’s because his friends gave him a very hard time about his new ambitions.

He told Soaps.com in an interview back in 2018, “I would leave basketball or football practice because I’d have to go to Cleveland [for a job] and I would get made fun of. Even coaches got in on it. People would make fun of me and I got in fights over it.”

“I was embarrassed to tell anybody that’s what I wanted to do because it was so taboo. Where I went to school was pretty much like Friday Night Lights; everybody in the city knows you because of your athleticism.”

It’s a good thing that things worked out for him! As always, more detailed Spoilers and Breaking news will appear here on Celebrating The Soaps!
