Kai Cenat drops bombshell: Plans to direct movies and act after streaming career

Streamer Kai Cenat talks about directing movies and acting after his streaming career.

For the past month, Kai Cenat, whose true name is Kai Carlo Cenat III, has not been streaming much. The streamer has been filming a movie alongside Kevin Hart and Druski, but no specifics about the plot have been revealed. Which makes sense that in his latest interview, the AMP star mentioned he would like to pursue acting as well as directing after the end of his streaming career.

“I ain’t going to lie. I think I want to act and direct my own shows and more movies,” Cenat told Rolling Stone along with fellow AMP star and streamer Duke Dennis, who added, “One episode, even if I’m just a dead body or something. I’m cool. That’s my peak”

This is not the first time Kai has mentioned something about wanting to act. In an appearance on the A Safe Place Podcast in July 2023, he told Lil Yachty and MitchGoneMad,

“My angle is acting. Full-time acting,” he further added, "I know I’m not good at music… I can’t be in the studio bro [sic], it’s just hard and I respect everybody who does it.”

Fans react to Kai Cenat's career plans

Fans had mixed reactions to his statement; some questioned his skills in the directing and acting fields, while others questioned streaming as a career in general. However, the majority showed support for the rising star, saying they can see him in more of a producing role.

One fan commented, "Ngl, I can seem him as a producer not a director. He can acquire the talent but directing it.... I can't see it. I want him to prove me wrong though."

While another said, "Since when is streaming a career"

One user expressed, "I haven't really seen HIM behind the camera before"

"I believe he will be this generations Tyler Perry." one person claimed.

Another supported, "He's got such a huge following, I def could see this working out well for him"

Being one of the biggest streamers of this time, Kai Cenat, recently in a stream, also talked about how time-consuming it is to shoot a film, and he explained that he has to be on set 24/7. His statement about wanting to act and direct does come as a surprise, as in the same stream, he also talked about how he probably will not shoot another film until he is fully certain this is something he wants to pursue.
