Early life
Iko Uwais was born Uwais Qorny in Jakarta, to Musthafa
and Maisyaroh Kamaluddin.[6][7] His grandfather, H.
Achmad Bunawar, was a silat master and founded a silat
school.[8] He is named after the 7th-century Islamic
figure Owais al-Qarani.[9]
Career
In 2007, Uwais was discovered by director Gareth Evans,
who was filming a documentary about silat, a form of
martial arts, in Uwais's training hall. Uwais's natural
:
charisma and great camera presence encouraged Evans
to cast him as the leading role for his first martial art
movie, Merantau.[10][11] After signing a five-year contract
with Gareth Evans and his production company, Uwais
resigned from his daytime job as an operational driver at
Esia, an Indonesian telecom company.[12][13][14]
Personal life
On 25 June 2012, Uwais married singer Audy Item at the
Hotel Gran Mahakam in Jakarta.[43] The couple have two
daughters, Atreya Syahla Putri Uwais[44][45] and Aneska
Layla Putri Uwais.[46]
