Veteran Nollywood actor, Funsho Adeolu, has spoken on how he has continued to remain relevant in the movie industry.
According to Adeolu, his originality and passion for acting makes him stand out.
In an interview with Saturday Beats, he said; “Perhaps, it’s because I am original. I have serious passion for acting. I am not about money or fame.
“That is why I don’t like being called a celebrity. I prefer to be called an actor.
“A celebrity is a ‘diva’, while an actor is a thespian.
“A thespian understands that no matter what happens, the show must go on. A thespian is focused on getting the job done and he wants to impart knowledge. It is not just about showing his face in a movie.”
Talking about some of the changes he would love to see in the movie industry, he said; “I will like to see more professionals in the industry. If you are interested in acting or being behind the camera, you have to get the necessary training. It is not just about having an interest in it; you need to get formal training.
“One also needs to protect one’s name and brand.
“Some people are all about making money; while others are particular about maintaining a good name.
“Having a good name is better than any other thing. One should have a name that unborn generations would be proud of.”
