When did you get into Nollywood?

Long ago. I actually started acting on stage in my church. Before I got into the university I used to go out a lot, and was presenting at various stage plays. Even when I got into University, I continued my stage acting and later veered into modelling. As a model, I did a couple of stuffs for First Weekly magazine and some other magazines but it was at First Weekly magazine that I met Kanbi Owolabi who introduced me to some people in the acting business. From there I started with Funke Akindele’s Awa Okunrin movie and then Supermom. Along the line I met Uncle Yomi Fash Lanso who also helped me a lot. Sometimes, I just followed him to locations to play and just watch what they were doing and to learn.

Yes, I have I have, producing is not easy. Sometimes you spend a lot of money and you don’t get to recoup the money you spent.

That is just the biggest.

Which role has been your most challenging role in a movie?

My recent movie Asiyan because I had to cry a lot. It is not easy to cry. At a point I was requesting for Paracetamol because I had a serious headache. You crying without someone hurting you is really serious. You have to make it look real and it’s not easy.

I’ve not done anything like sex but I’ve kissed and I’ve done bed scenes
