I Didn’t Want To Be Famous – Actor Deyemi Okanlawon

Nollywood actor and producer, Deyemi Okanlawon has said he didn’t join the entertainment industry because of fame.

The thespian, who switched from engineering to the entertainment industry, explained that he came into the industry to “do the work,” stressing that “fame was the collateral upside.”

Speaking in the latest episode of Celebrity Quickies, Deyemi said: “To be honest, I didn’t know this side of fame. I didn’t come into the industry to be famous. I came to do the work and the collateral upside of doing the work was fame. So, I quickly adapted with the understanding that it is just part of the job.

“In fact, I try to remove that from my head to help me stay grounded.”

He said his biggest regret is not starting his acting career earlier.

He said the Hollywood actresses he would like to go on dates with are Viola Davies and Meryl Streep.

Being famous is like a dream come true but it’s really difficult because you lose your freedom.

Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy

One ❤️❤️❤️

Today's Quote

“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
