"I like being in new places and seeing new sights"
About this Quote
The phrasing is tellingly physical. “Being” in new places isn’t “learning” or “discovering”; it’s presence, environment, sensory reset. “Seeing new sights” doubles down on the visual, which is almost meta for someone who lives inside a camera’s gaze. Actors are watched for a living; here, he reclaims the role of watcher. The subtext is agency: I’m not just the object on a screen, I’m a person collecting scenes.
Context matters, too. This kind of travel-minded statement often surfaces in press cycles where celebrities are asked to package their lifestyle into something shareable. Welling sidesteps brand-speak. No hustle, no self-optimization, no “journey” as metaphor. Just a modest insistence that novelty still feels like nourishment. In an industry built on repetition - retakes, seasons, typecasting - curiosity becomes a small act of self-preservation.
