JAKARTA - The Weeknd expressed his desire to continue his career using his real name, Abel Tesfaye. He felt his latest film and album, Hurry Up Tomorrow, was the closing of the series.
Recently, he used the name Abel Tesfaye as a credit in the film Hury Up Tomorrow which he played and produced. He admitted that he has been open to acting more since appearing in the film Uncut Gems and the series The Idol.
"We're negotiating now. I don't have a definite answer but I haven't completely released the name (The Weeknd) because I'm on tour, so I still meet fans out there," The Weeknd told THR.
On a separate occasion, he said, 'Everything feels like a challenge. For me now, The Weeknd or whatever is over. I think I mastered the challenge with this persona and that's why I'm so enthusiastic about this film," he said.
