I didn’t know this side of fame – Deyemi Okanlawon

Nollywood actor Deyemi Okanlawon has mentioned that “fame” was not his priority when he ventured into the entertainment industry.

The thespian appeared as a guest on a television show, where he shared insights into his career and personal philosophy.

During the interview, Okanlawon remained sincere about his approach to dealing with the fame and attention that naturally accompany his profession, acting. He revealed that his main focus was on the craft itself.

Okanlawon revealed that he intentionally does not allow fane to get into his head. He maintains a considerable distance from the trappings of celebrity status. According to him, maintaining a grounded and centred mindset is crucial for both personal and professional growth, he emphasised.

“I try to remove myself from it because you don’t want that to be in your head. As a person or as an actor, you want to be fresh, you want to be plain. You don’t want to have any airs. That just keeps you centred and grounded. I know what happens when you let it get into your head. So you just accept it, appreciate it, and keep it moving,” Okanlawon added.
