The 35-year-old actor made the clarification when talking about his experience with Bimbo Ademoye on the set of a yet to be released movie ‘Anikulapo’.
He said, “Bimbo is my friend for a long time now. That project is so far the most challenging role I have had to play. I was blessed to see two minutes of the ongoing editing of the film and I’m blown away,
“I have goose bumps. I can’t wait for the world to see it, I can’t describe it. With that project, it’s an expression of my soul,”
He admitted that his good looks make him get romantic or lover boy characters in Nollywood movies most of the time.
He, however, added that he does not want to be judged by his look, saying he would prefer to be seen more for his versatility or ability to interpret roles in the movie.
In his words, “My looks and appearance helped me at the end of the day. One of my colleagues once said he wish he was fine like me but I said no that’s not the point.
“There are so many fine people that are not actors while there are people that you will not consider as handsome but they are super talented. It is way beyond good looks.
“I was fighting with the fact that I was not just getting roles because of my looks and not the fact that I can portray them well. Let the looks just be an added advantage.
“I’m ready to go hideous, one of the happiest moments of my life was when Kunle Afolayan said he was going to scrap my beards and I would have tribal marks,
” I was still fine. It’s a gift and I embrace it but I still want to do more without people being distracted by my looks. People don’t want to take those risks. In American films, they can use make up to make you look hideous or a certain way.”
