Reacting To KSI's Old Acting Career

The video opens with the Sidemen React crew introducing a very special topic, focusing on KSI and his very first acting role. They explain that this appearance was in a show called Five Aside, a football themed drama, marking a notable shift from his usual YouTube persona into screen acting. Throughout the first segment, the hosts share context about the show’s premise, their curiosity about KSI’s performance, and their expectations for meaningful acting versus hype. They reference the original project, hint at the scale of the production, and set the stage for a deeper evaluation of his acting chops as the episode begins. The discussion then pivots to the on-screen action, highlighting early scenes where KSI’s character navigates tension, romance, and the awkward dynamics of a lower league football setting, while the hosts circle in on wardrobe choices, delivery, and how it all lands in a comedic, dramatic balance. As the video progresses, reactions turn into a meta-analysis of acting technique, with jokes about “soft boy” characters and the contrast between KSI’s public image and his on-screen persona, all while the group speculates about future episodes and potential cameos. The hosts acknowledge the show’s era and tone, noting that some scenes feel stitched together but remain entertained by the overall premise, camera work, and the chemistry among cast members. By the end, they reflect on whether this project demonstrated real acting talent or mainly served as a nostalgic curiosity, concluding that the experience was entertaining enough to warrant a follow-up if the audience expresses interest, and they tease the possibility of watching future episodes together.
