In a interview with Sunday World, William did not hold back his joy, confidence and sense of humor. He stated that the secret ingredient to being a Legendary brand ambassador is to be a William Last.

Consistent content

The comedian said he felt honoured and privileged to be handpicked as the first brand ambassador for the brand.


“My partnership with Legends Barbershop started in 2022. I was always a friend of the brand. However, to be the brand ambassador makes me feel like I have a special place at the company,” he added.

William said he thinks that the consistent content linked to the brand on his socials gave them reason enough to trust him as their brand ambassador.

Perfect timing
“­However, I do not think that there was a criteria. It was just the right time and God’s timing.”

William shared his plans for the brand. He plans to promote the brand by showing up at its launches and events. He will also teach people how to use the brand’s products. This he will do with the content he shares on his social media platforms.

“And very importantly, I plan to stay consistent,” he said.

Youthful and fun place

Tatchell said he is very excited as this is a big deal for two brands to come together and grow. 
 
“It was easy to pick William as we have built a solid and strong relationship over the past two years. He grooms himself very well and the stand out point is that he relates to us and our clientele. This is a move that can gain good market space for our brands, working together is always a good idea.”
 
Big future plans
 
To the others who were not chosen, Tatchell stated that it is not the end. He said the brand is open to more brand ambassadors and working with influencers in the future.
