With early roles that have cemented his place in Hollywood history, actor Djimon Hounsou reflects on a career spanning over three decades. He candidly discusses feeling underappreciated in the industry, yet managing to sustain his longevity.
For Hounsou, this sentiment marks the fulfillment of a key ambition—portraying characters with integrity and avoiding roles that perpetuate stereotypes, especially those related to Africans.
Djimon Hounsou admits his frustration with the ongoing underappreciation in the industry, feeling that his work has not been fairly compensated. However, he channels his influence as an actor into fighting modern slavery and human trafficking through the Djimon Hounsou Foundation. This cause is deeply personal for him, stemming from his own journey to understand his heritage—something he knew little about during his youth.
The foundation also aims to help Africans in the diaspora reconnect with their cultural, ancestral, and spiritual roots—a mission inspired by Hounsou’s personal journey to understand his own heritage.
