>> Welcome to A-list lifestyle,

the show that teaches you how to live like a superstar.

Today we meet Dutch DJ producer duo drove

and find out about being a global citizen.

But first, the place to be is the Pacific Paradise of Fiji.

Fiji is an A-list yachting destination

that offers the ultimate experience in luxury,

adventure and natural beauty.

The country's position as a sought after vacation spot

is bolstered by its warm climate,

vibrant marine life and the welcoming spirit of its people,

making it the perfect destination for luxury travelers

and yachting enthusiasts alike.

>> I think Fiji is just one of those amazing destinations

that caters for every kind of traveler.

It's great for families, great for honeymooners,

Great for couples. Great for solo travelers.

So it has something for everyone.

And I think that's that's what makes it really unique.

There's 333 islands and yeah,

so many wonderful places to visit in Fiji.

Plus Fiji is known for its famous people,

you know, hospitality, true Fijian hospitality.

>> One of the most alluring aspects of Fiji

for yacht travelers is the ease of exploring multiple islands,

each with its own unique character and charm.

From the stunning coral reefs of the Yasawa Isles

to the lush rainforests of Viti Levu,

Fiji's landscapes offer diverse attractions

for those on the water.

>> Yachting lifestyle in Fiji is fantastic.

We had such a wonderful program,

an initiative that was done through the pandemic.

We had the Blue Lane initiative and that's where we really saw

the potential of the yachting industry

to grow it significantly.

But for decades, Fiji has just been

one of those places that Yachties travel to.

It's a faraway destination, very exclusive.

You know that tropical feeling about it.

And we have a range of different adventure based activities,

cultural experiences, good diving sites as well in Fiji.

So there's a good mixture of water and land

based activities that people do.

Everything from island day trips to thermal mud pool experiences

to hiking village stays that you can do.

So there's a whole range of activities

that that is on offer.

>> Of course, food is a vital part of any vacation or trip.

So what about the cuisines you can find in Fiji?

>> When you're talking about food,

you're talking about our love language.

So food is an amazing thing. In Fiji.

There's so many different varieties of cuisine.

We've got different ethnicities as well.

So a mixture of Fijians, Indians,

Rotumans Chinese as well.

But yeah, a lot of our cultural dishes are on offer as well.

So we use a lot of coconut based dish.

We have something called coconut

and it is basically Spanish mackerel fish.

And it is cooked overnight in lemon juice, chili and onions.

And then in the morning we marinate it in coconut milk.

So it's like sashimi but marinated in coconut milk.

So it's similar to ceviche, but we call it coconut

and it's a traditional dish.

We're starting to see more familiar Western cuisine

restaurants coming through Fiji.

Now, a lot of the resorts have wonderful restaurants

that procures locally as well.

So obviously Fiji is surrounded by ocean,

lots of seafood, lots of fresh fish.

>> As Lee just told us, there are more than 330 islands,

but are there actually some main isles?

And if so, what can you do there?

>> We have two main islands surrounded by small archipelagos

around the two main islands, so we have 333 in total.

And the two main islands makes up the majority

of the population of Fiji.

So yeah, I live on one of the main islands.

>> The allure of Fiji lies in its commitment

to preserving its natural beauty.

Marine reserves like the Great Astrolabe Reef

are carefully protected,

allowing visitors to enjoy pristine ecosystems

sustainably for Yachters looking to experience a destination

that combines luxury with respect for the environment,

Fiji stands out as an ideal choice.

>> People often think that Fiji is a faraway destination

that's really hard to access,

but our national airline, which is Fiji Airways,

has probably some of the best connectivity in the region.

So we connect into Australia and New Zealand,

into North America, into Singapore and Hong Kong,

and we're exploring South Korea as well as a port,

which makes it even more accessible

for Europeans to travel. So I think Fiji Airways is yeah,

a great option to to sort of consider

for a lot of people traveling to the South.

>> In every way.

Fiji offers an unparalleled yachting and travel experience,

an idyllic setting where the journey and destination

blend perfectly for those seeking adventure, culture

and luxury on the high seas.

Coming up, an A-list lifestyle,

we find out about being a global citizen.

But first Dutch DJ producer duo drove.

Let's hit the fast lane with drove,

a super cool producer duo from the Netherlands.

These guys first crossed paths in high school in Den Helder

and quickly discovered their shared passion

for beats and tunes.

>> The first time we met up, actually,

we wanted to make music.

I think we were just texting and like, yeah, what's your address?

And actually we used to live literally one block,

like just, I think a three minute walk from each other.

But we never ran into each other for like the 16 years prior.

So yeah, that was pretty, pretty funny as all.

>> I remember.

And it was really special

because I was only aware of the band side of music,

like the drummer, guitarist, bassist, singer.

And he was telling me, yeah, I can make music.

And what kind of instrument do you play?

Yeah, I do it on my laptop. And I On your laptop.

But he got me into a completely new world.

>> When the pandemic hit.

Drove just upped the tempo on their music,

making Locked Down, but definitely not out.

They cooked up their first track, places,

teaming up with none other than Dillon Francis.

Talk about starting off with a bang.

>> It's really special that the first thing we made,

basically because it literally was the first session,

we didn't see each other for a long time.

I think we only had contact that were texting

and it was like, yeah, okay, come over to my place.

We started writing some music and like,

I literally the first song that came out was was places,

which eventually became a collaboration

with Dillon Francis as well.

>> In 2021, they burst onto the scene

with their debut EP, dusk,

and have been on a roll ever since,

dropping one EP after another.

So what's the secret sauce to their teamwork?

>> The immediate feedback

because we're really honest with each other.

If we don't like anything in a song,

we're just honest, like, okay, I think this doesn't work.

Yeah, and I think the immediate part,

like the immediate feedback is so nice

because sometimes you wind up in your own track

and you're like, okay, this is really cool,

but you're just in your own bubble.

And sometimes someone from the outside will say,

don't think it's really it.

And right now you get an immediate feedback.

You're like, okay, maybe you're right.

Let's move on to the next thing.

>> Despite being relative newbies in the music game,

drove have already made some serious waves.

What's next on their radar? >> We got a lot coming.

We try to make stories with every song and EP,

so we have made these small stories already.

But I like a big theme.

We still want to do is do our debut album

with like a full story throughout the whole album.

That's something we're really looking forward to, to make.

But in the meantime, of course, working on music,

working on the live concert as well,

because we did a live video

actually last summer in Barcelona.

That's where we sang and played the songs

live with a beautiful view. Make sure to check it out!

>> Drove's journey is just getting started,

and they're already setting the stage

for a thrilling future in the music world,

with their unique sound and relentless drive.

They're bound to keep fans guessing and dancing

as they wait for what's next.

Keep an eye on this duo as they continue to rise.

Being a global citizen means recognizing that

while we come from different cultures,

nations, and backgrounds,

we share a collective responsibility

to contribute positively to the world.

It's an awareness that transcends borders,

encouraging people to view themselves

as part of a broader, interconnected community

in a rapidly globalizing world.

The concept of global citizenship

has become increasingly relevant

as individuals navigate cultural differences

and embrace shared values.

A global citizen values diversity

and promotes understanding,

recognizing that our unique perspectives are strengths,

embracing different viewpoints

enables us to learn from each other,

fostering empathy and mutual respect,

whether through studying other languages,

traveling, or engaging with international news and media.

Global citizens seek to understand

and appreciate the richness of diverse cultures.

At its core, global citizenship

is about action as much as mindset.

Global citizens are proactive in addressing global challenges

such as climate change, poverty, and social justice.

They support sustainable practices,

advocate for human rights, and volunteer or contribute

to causes that benefit communities worldwide.

It's about taking steps, however small,

to make the world a better place not just for ourselves,

but for future generations.

>> I think in my case specifically,

I think honestly, Dubai

and the UAE are already nurtured, me

and the rest of the population to be global accepting,

and we got used to mixing people with,

you know, like minded people

and just people from all over the world.

So, so, you know, it was again ingrained in us.

But of course, traveling overseas,

studying in Australia, having traveled with my father

to different countries before that,

and then having worked in the US and Europe, Russia.

Kazakhstan. Singapore.

So it definitely did help in terms of nurturing all of that.

>> In an age where global issues affect everyone,

being a global citizen is essential

for fostering a world of peace, equality, and shared prosperity.

It's about thinking beyond one's own immediate community,

making choices that benefit humanity as a whole,

and understanding that our actions,

even on a small scale,

can contribute to meaningful global change

by adopting a global perspective.

We become more compassionate, informed,

and capable of driving positive change across borders.

Later on in A-list lifestyle, we've got plenty more in store

for you as we take a look at fully electric mini cars

and see some action heroes who are secretly scaredy cats.

But before all that, we'll check out the fun

filled life of this musical star.

Get ready to be swept away by the extraordinary life

and career of the one and only Troye Sivan.

This incredible artist's meteoric rise to fame

is a tale of passion, talent and a pinch of YouTube magic.

Though he was born in South Africa,

Troye's family emigrated to Australia

when he was just two years old. He grew up down under,

learning to play piano and guitar

until he made it to the finals of the TV talent show

Star Search at the age of 12,

and released his debut EP shortly after.

Absolutely. From an early age,

it was clear that Troye's path was headed

straight for the dazzling lights of stardom.

You know.

>> Some of my earliest, earliest memories are,

like me, hiding behind a curtain like that

and making my parents introduce me as if I was on stage.

And I would, like, pop out and sing for them and stuff.

I don't know, like, I don't know where that came from.

Probably a really annoying child, but um,

but yeah, it's just been a constant in my life.

>> Troye's journey to fame began on YouTube,

where he showcased his musical talents

and charismatic personality. He started his channel in 2007,

and gained a significant following

by sharing covers of popular songs and personal vlogs,

allowing viewers to connect with his authenticity

and relatable content.

His channel gradually attracted a loyal audience.

>> I love making music and I would make music

in just in my bedroom for myself,

or I would make music on this kind of big platform.

But I think that regardless of the music,

I feel like the most important work that I do is,

is in the the LGBTQ space just because I, you know,

I feel like that's sort of the reason

that I've been given this musical platform.

And so, um, yeah, that's I guess my constant goal

is to try and like, you know, push, push that fight forward.

>> But it's not always easy to be an artist

who started out on YouTube.

>> I just think there's a little bit of a stigma,

um, you know, on artists who have come from online.

Um, but no question about it, having the platform that I have

and the stage that I have is like the biggest blessing.

It's absolutely incredible

to have such supportive and active and excited fans.

>> However, it was his music career

that propelled Troye Sivan

into the international spotlight in 2014.

He released his debut extended play titled Trxye.

The EP's success demonstrated Troye's songwriting abilities

and marked the beginning of his transition

from an online personality to a serious musician.

His debut studio album, Blue Neighborhood,

released in 2015,

further solidified his status as a rising pop star with tracks

like Youth and Wild gaining widespread acclaim.

Troye's foray into acting began to take shape

alongside his music career. He made his film debut

in the 2009 movie X-Men Origins Wolverine,

where he played the role of a young Wolverine.

However, it was his role in the 2018

coming of age drama film Boy Erased

that showcased his acting prowess

on a more significant scale.

In 2023, Troye's artistic explorations expanded yet again,

this time delving into the realm of television

with a role in the thought provoking

and controversial TV series The Idol.

>> I mean, when I initially said yes to this project,

I said yes because of the people working on it.

You know, I loved euphoria and I've never worked in TV before.

I've never shot something for as long as I shot this.

So, um, yeah, it was a big kind of learning experience for me.

It was awesome.

>> Apart from his artistic talents, Troye Sivan

is also celebrated for his distinctive fashion sense,

which made him a real style icon.

He's become a prominent figure in the fashion industry,

often gracing red carpets and magazine

covers with his bold and innovative style.

His fashion choices are characterized

by a blend of edgy and avant garde elements,

reflecting his willingness to push boundaries

and challenge traditional norms.

Yes, Troy's path from music to acting

is a testament to his unwavering dedication to craft

and his ceaseless quest for artistic growth,

and we can't wait to see what the future holds

for this multi-talented star.

In our search for the best must have items for any A-listers,

we've found the best vehicle manufacturer offering cars

to drive around your vineyard, private property or a racetrack.

The company is called Hedley Studios,

and they make fully electric automobiles with a vintage look.

We spoke to Kimberley Williams,

who's their international sales executive,

about these amazing roadsters.

>> So we started five and a half years ago,

and we were on a mission to create something very beautiful

and bespoke to bring a younger generation of car enthusiasts

in front of the older cars.

So we started with Bugatti for their 110th anniversary,

and we created the Bugatti Baby two,

which is at the end here on a limited production

run of up to 500 vehicles,

bringing in some modern elements to make them fully electric

and for use on private land and race tracks.

>> But while these cars look very beautiful in all.

Are you actually allowed to drive them on public roads?

>> The Ferrari and the Bugatti that we do are not street legal.

They're for private land and racetracks.

The Bentley, which is just out of shot.

That one is fully street legal in the UK, US and Europe.

>> So if you can't drive them on normal roads,

who would buy one of these Bugattis or Ferraris?

>> Parents will buy them for their children,

and then the parents have way too much fun riding them

and the children never get a chance.

However, we also find a lot of our clients

like to use them in garages

to look at as part of a wider car collection

in their offices as a display piece.

So we have quite a big split

between people that use them around gated communities

to go get their mail in the morning

to drive around the vineyard,

but also to observe and to enjoy looking at them.

>> They look very old, but are electric,

so we were wondering if they're supposed to have

that vintage feel to them.

>> When deciding which car to build.

We will go to the manufacturers, for example with Ferrari.

They very kindly lent us an original 250 Testarossa,

which we took into a 3D scanner

and rotated around to get all of the measurements

and the exacting styling of the original car.

We then take that into our engineering department

at our factory in Bicester in Oxford,

and we recreate the car to a scaled format.

We take out the engine and maximize

as much space as possible, so people of all sizes can.

Can drive them even though they are smaller than the originals.

We're very selective about the cars that we do build,

and as we work in such close partnership

with the original manufacturers,

we go for one car that is a staple classic,

a well-loved, renowned racing car,

and then we will build them on a limited production run.

So, for example, the Ferrari here,

we will only build 299 of these vehicles.

And once they're gone, they're gone.

>> And the best part about these cars is that everything is new,

straight from the manufacturer.

>> We go for everything brand new.

So the cars are assembled at our facility in Bicester,

and we try and use as many local manufacturers as possible.

However, we do with these ones.

For example, use Brembo disc brakes,

which you would find on modern and old Ferraris.

We use Nardi for the steering wheels,

and we also use the Barani wheels here as well

that you would see on modern and classic Ferraris as well.

So we tried to keep as many of the important parts of the car

that give it that styling

and that look in keeping with the hours.

>> When looking at vehicles,

the most important things to look at

are the specs and of course, the price.

>> The Bugatti will go for about 47 miles an hour

and a range of approximately 80km.

The Ferrari here, you'll top out at about 50 miles an hour,

with a range of approximately 100km,

depending on driving style,

and our Bentley, which is the largest.

We're still in testing at the moment,

but we're hoping to achieve 120km with a top speed

of about 45 miles an hour for the price as well.

So the Bugatti over here starts at around 47,500

for the Vitesse, which is carbon fiber body.

And then we also do a fully aluminum car,

which is about 62,500 euros.

And the Ferrari here starts from €97,000.

And your classic roadster courser with beige interior.

>> Hedley Studios electric roadsters

combine timeless esthetics with modern technology,

creating vehicles that are as stunning as they are unique.

Designed for those who appreciate vintage style

but seek sustainable performance,

these cars add elegance to any private estate or racetrack,

whether they're Bugatti inspired or Ferrari styled.

These custom made vehicles represent luxury redefined,

new yet classic, sophisticated yet eco friendly.

Headley studio's creations are perfect

for A-listers wanting to make a statement,

blending heritage with innovation in every ride.

Still to come, an A-list lifestyle,

famous podcasters but first action stars

who are secretly scaredy cats.

Of course, we know movie stars

aren't the characters they portray,

but there can be some big differences between them.

Here are our top three action heroes

who are secretly scaredy cats.

At number three, it's Jake Gyllenhaal.

During filming of 20 tens Prince of Persia,

Jake developed an unhealthy fear of ostriches.

There were a few used in the movie

and he refused to go near them, noting that they look innocent

but can tear out your eyes when angered.

On the second place, we find Matt Damon,

much like the iconic character Indiana Jones,

Matt is scared of snakes.

Scarlett Johansson says that when they filmed

We Bought a Zoo Together

the day the snakes came on set,

Damon was crying like a baby.

And our top spot goes to Channing Tatum.

Channing has been in lots of action films,

but don't look for him in horror anytime soon,

as an encounter with a Twilight Zone episode

as a kid has left him deathly afraid of porcelain dolls,

which he calls freaky looking.

Welcome to the thrilling world of podcasting,

a medium that has skyrocketed in popularity over the past decade.

Whether you're in the mood for laughter

Sean will explain the story behind the name

Smartless. It's called Smartless.

in all different areas of life,

and we hope to laugh with them and learn a little more

and make ourselves a little smarter.

By the time the show is over.

And the little conceit of our show is that every episode,

one of the three of us acts as a host

and brings on a guest the other two don't know about.

talking to the camera.

But then there's also going to be guests

and there's also going to be some video.

And so it's like taking what's already there

and adding on top of it and just doing more with it.

>> Chelsea Handler adds her trademark humor to life

will be the death of me.

Since 2019, she's blended laughter with introspection,

sharing her life experiences and views on current events.

Although she's known as a comedian and talk show host,

hosting a podcast wasn't her original plan.

It just evolved naturally.

>> I like to just see what happens.

You know, like have an evolution

and you know you're a different person every few years.

And to be true to that and to really just follow,

like what you care about and what your passion is,

because it's not just about collecting a paycheck.

>> Adding a unique twist to storytelling.

Alan Carr hosts.

Life's a Beach, where he shares humorous

and heartfelt anecdotes about his life

and the people he meets, with celebrity guests

frequently joining the conversation.

Alan's charming personality shines,

delivering a delightful mix of laughter and insight.

While he loves to travel and often discusses his adventures,

he doesn't believe.

He inspires others to go on vacation.
