On Tuesday nights, he participates in a baking class, and his cakes have become quite popular at school He adores pantomimes and often watches them on his phone, and he is passionate about his music lessons. He is not fond of loud noises or tomatoes, and he prefers that his brother doesn’t play with him too much. Additionally, he is an exceptional actor.
