Typically, he holds a strict no televised interview policy, but Wafa Al Kilani clearly buttered Wael Kfoury up enough to break the rules. The singing pop star made a rare appearance on the MBC1 talk show "Al Hakam" (The Judge) hosted Wafa.
It's pretty standard to see Wael on our small screen as we glue ourselves to the TV for Arab Idol ever season, but on the talent show, Wael is the one calling the shots and asking the judges. For some reason, he decided to step out of the control seat and open himself to a barage of questions by "The Judge", Wafa, on live TV, according to Laha Magazine.
He even went deep about personal issues, sharing about his rise to fame and what it's like to be surrounded by success. He also informed fans of why he so standardly refuses to hold interviews with the press.
Check out the video on YouTube to hear for yourself Wael's thoughts on behind-the-scenes Arab Idol life and even his relationships with fellow judges, cough Ahlam.
One thing he wouldn't talk much about? His married life and family. Those two are totes taboo, so don't even bother asking about it. But co-patriot performers Elissa, Nawal Al Zoghbi and Maya Diab? Those ladies are free reign for discussion any day of the week.
Oh, and if you're curious about what might have persuaded the star to hit up the show? Let's just say money talks. It was revealed that Wael was paid 80 grand in USD for his appearance on the program.
