Step Up 2’s Robert Hoffman Talks About How India Has Shifted His Focus In Life

‘Step Up 2 fame Hollywood actor-dancer-choreographer Robert Hoffman arrived in India on Wednesday and was accorded an Indian welcome with tika and garland.

Hoffman along with writer-filmmaker Arsala Qureishi and actress-model-blogger Jas Sagu hosted a press interaction to launch their collaboration, a music video titled “Aag Ka Gola LA” on Wednesday in Mumbai.

Asked which was his real passion, acting or dancing, Hoffman replied: “My passion lies with neither dancing nor acting. My passion lies with reverence and my passion lies in art that gives you the feeling or sensation or experience that is greater than life, something god-like.”

He added that he wants to create magic. “You cannot do justice to the music. I don’t think music has justice done to it in any sort of human context. For me, music and the feelings it inspires are beyond human context. So, when I dance, I am attempting to create something larger than life. When I act, I am hoping to create something that defies the simplicity of the ego to do greater things. So my draw was never to be an actor or dancer, it was to create magic. I know it sounds a little cheesy but that is my inspiration,” the actor said.
