Early life

Deodatus Andreas Deddy Cahyadi Sunjoyo was born on 26 December 1974 in Jakarta, Indonesia, to Oemar Sundjojo (1934 – 1 January 2007) and Heniwaty (born 28 July 1935).

His father Sundjojo was born on 1934 in Banyuwangi, East Java, and worked as a microbus driver. Sundjojo died at Rumah Sakit Husada in Sawah Besar, Central Jakarta, on 1 January 2007 due to complications at the age of 73. His funeral was held at Tanah Kusir Cemetery on 4 January 2007. His mother Heniwaty was born on 28 July 1935 in Batavia, Dutch East Indies, and worked as a seamstress.

When Deddy Corbuzier was 8 years old, he saw a magician turning a handkerchief into a bouquet of flowers and was amazed. He then studied with several senior magicians to learn some simple magic tricks. However, he was not satisfied with this. At the age of 12, Deddy was determined to learn more difficult types of magic. He began his career by demonstrating several types of magic in Ancol Fantasy World, Jakarta.

Career

Deddy's fame comes not only because of his profession as an actor but also due to his well-known performances in Indonesia's entertainment industry. In addition to performing in numerous magic shows and hosting magic-related talk shows on various television networks, Deddy has appeared in several TV and print advertisements. He has also made guest appearances in several soap operas. His fame is sustained by his skills in enchanting the audience watching his act. Deddy often showcased magic tricks that present high risk. Although he is known as a magician, he prefers to be called a mentalist.

In mid-2013, Deddy "invented" his diet technique which he named "OCD" or "Obsessive Corbuzier Diet". This technique is based on Intermittent Fasting combined with HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training). Even though this is not a new technique, it was well-known in Indonesia due to Deddy's successful body transformation from low-fat content into muscles. Deddy also published a website and an electronic book talking about his transformation.

Deddy is now actively growing his YouTube Channel. He posts videos from his podcast Close the Door which contains conversations on the recent news in Indonesia. Deddy is known to invite interesting guest stars such as Novel Baswedan, Taufik Hidayat, and Syeikh Ali Jaber.

He was appointed as the ambassador for the Ministry of Defense's Reserve Component Program on 13 October 2021. For his work with the Ministry in promoting the program, Minister of Defense Prabowo Subianto, appointed him as Brevet Lieutenant Colonel on 9 December 2022. His appointment was approved by Commander of the Indonesian Armed Forces General Andika Perkasa and Commander of the Indonesian Army General Dudung Abdurrachman.

Corbuzier was married to Kalina Ocktaranny from 2005 to 2013. They welcomed a son, Azkanio Nikola Corbuzier, in 2006. In January 2013, their divorce was finalized after six months of legal proceedings.
