OH SCHUKS … IT’S THAT GUY

Schuster films are synonymous with December. If he’s not releasing a new film there will be endless reruns of old ones every festive season. This accounts for Schuster’s high visibility as a celebrity – wherever he goes he is mobbed by fans wanting the mandatory selfie with him.

He usually has no qualms about posing with fans, except when his mother is with him. “I was in Bloemfontein and these women all crowded around, there were about 11 of them and they all wanted a photograph with me. I had my poor old mother (she’s 96) with me because I had treated her for breakfast. My mom doesn’t really care what she says. She told them: ‘This is enough bloody photographs. I’ve got to go home.’”
