Andrzej Grabowski, the beloved Polish actor known primarily for his iconic role as Ferdynand Kiepski, recently made waves during the first episode of the new season of the popular talk show 'Kuba Wojewódzki'. The episode, which aired on TVN, featured Grabowski alongside White 2115, one of the leading figures of the younger generation of Polish rappers.
During the show, Grabowski, who served as a judge on 'Dancing with the Stars' for nearly ten years, reflected on his initial unfamiliarity with dance. "At first, I had no idea about dancing and relied heavily on advice from Iwona Pavlović about specific dances," he admitted. This candidness added to the humor of the episode, demonstrating his willingness to share his past misgivings openly.
The discussion swiftly transitioned to Grabowski's legendary role on 'Świat według Kiepskich', which catapulted him to stardom. He acknowledged, with surprising honesty, his initial reluctance to participate, stating, "I hated acting there. I was unpleasant to everyone, to my colleagues... I didn't want to play this part." Over time, of course, he came to terms with his portrayal of Kiepski, albeit still contemplating how his career might have evolved without it.
A highlight of the episode was the unexpected arrival of Bartosz Żukowski, who played Kiepski's son Waldemar. Grabowski didn’t hide his surprise at his former costar’s presence: "I truly didn’t know you were coming! I swear, I had no idea." Grabowski praised Żukowski’s talent, describing him as "a very gifted actor who can show us so much, but he needs to be afforded the opportunity. He has a difficult character but can give so much of himself..." This candid observation elicited laughter and warmth from the audience, showcasing the genuine chemistry between the two actors.
Adding to the excitement, White 2115 shared the screen with Grabowski for humorous banter and playful interactions. The two seemed to hit it off, with Grabowski even rapping part of White's hit song "Morgan" at the behest of Kuba Wojewódzki. This unscripted moment left the audience both astonished and entertained, proving once again the actor's knack for humor and ability to adapt.
Grabowski is not just reflecting on his past; he is also venturing boldly forward. He announced plans to launch his own podcast and revealed his work with his charitable foundation. This multifaceted approach to his career underlines his continuing relevance and versatility as not only an actor but as a media personality.
Fans expressed excitement at the prospect of future collaborations, with comments popping up during the show hinting at the possibility of music projects with White 2115. "When will Mr. Andrzej be featured with White?" one excited viewer wondered. Others chimed in, calling his rap performance “beautiful” and eagerly anticipating more such unique collaborations.
Overall, Andrzej Grabowski's recent appearance on 'Kuba Wojewódzki' not only rekindled nostalgia for his iconic roles but also showcased his willingness to embrace new ventures and share relatable anecdotes. His humor, depth, and authenticity continue to endear him to viewers, making him one of Polish television’s indelible personalities.
