Jemaine Clement: Laughing, Crying & keeping it real with a Creative Genius

"When the producers know that I'm Māori they are like, he can play the little Māori glue sniffer" Jemaine on his first role
How did this humble and shy Wairarapa man climb to the very top in the creative world? Well a big part was his Ngāti Kahungunu mother and grand mother who raised him. In this uplifting and emotional interview, Jemaine Clement opened up about his childhood and couldn't hold back the tears when paying tribute to his beautiful Kuia.

It's amazing how, even two generations later, the hurt from being stripped (or strapped) of your language is still so close to the surface. And by "amazing" I mean completely heartbreaking.

I just wanna say watching Jemaine, hearing him abandon himself to laughter during outtakes, well what a great human being.
