But he refused to come because he was tanned, looking dark, and thought we'd reject him. But the day we met, I knew it... that he and I were going to be working together."advertisement"He has this need to constantly just do what he wants to do without any filters. He has this knack of charming you into doing what he needs—and this was there since day one. He became part of our team. He was so excited about YRF.
