Ageless Nollywood actor, Richard Mofe Damijo, has disclosed how he avoided being on the pulpit for many years.

He made the statement while unveiling his latest role in ‘Cold’, a forthcoming movie directed by Bakia T. Thomas.

The 60-year-old who is about to play a reverend role in the movie ‘Cold’ said; “There was a time when for every other day or week, somebody would tell me they had a dream where they saw me as a pastor. Having taught Sunday school for over 15 years it was not far fetched

“Besides every perceived Bad Boy is supposed to end up in full time ministry right? So, what did I do? Run! I’ve avoided the pulpit with trepidation. But just like Jonah, I continue to end up somehow in the belly of the calling where I have played a pastor or reverend father more than anything else in my acting life. God does have an amazing sense of humour. I’m not even sure as I write this if I’ve fully escaped the CALL! Until date I still frighten myself every time I’ve had to speak in a church because when I take the pulpit, the Holy Spirit takes over.

“And so once again I embark into a world of make believe where I play yet another man of God. I invite you on this epic cinematic journey into the spirt realm!”
