Four years later, Kent took advantage of his illnesses to participate in the feature film "Sunny Boy," a film in which he gives life to Danny, a young man who has a strange skin disease that does not allow him to be in the sunlight and a project that, according to himself, helped him a lot both in his career and in his personal life.
