When actor Bhekisizwe Mahlawe was cast on Mzansi's biggest show, Uzalo, he was elated. But when he was told he would play the character of a Ben 10, he saw this as a mammoth task, which he duly took in his stride, and now he relishes the role.

Speaking to #Trending this week, he said playing the character was difficult, as he hadn't dated older women in real life. "In the beginning, it was challenging, but as an actor, I had to do it. The role was initially meant to be for three weeks, but now my contract has been renewed, and I'm going into the 10th season of the show," he said.
