Truth be told, everybody wants to associate themselves with a work-in-progress, I am a work-in-progress.
My ‘babyface’, a major career setback for me —Actor, Rotimi Salami 23 May 2020, NIGERIAN TRIBUNE (Nigeria)
My wife is the only person I’m answerable to. If she had complained about my close friendship with Allwell, I would have stepped back from the friendship.
Allwell didn’t live with me at home. Whenever I went to work, I always returned home. When God wants to support what you do, He aligns things in your favour.
When it comes to indigenous movies, there was a time when people saw me and immediately thought ‘Loverboy.’ I wouldn’t necessarily call it being stereotyped because I’m not confined to that role. People just have different perceptions of me.
Growing up in Lagos for me was very normal I lived a more quiet life because my parents are disciplinarians, you know, there was really no time to go outside and play like every other kids could do, despite the fact that I grew up in Ajangbadi. My upbringing was more like a ‘Butter kid’ kind-of, even if I would not eat the butter really. I would say personally I did get to learn too many things from the street, my mum was my street, she was my religion, and she was my everything. But I think I picked up everything from secondary school majorly, yes.
Basically, I would say I am blessed with the kind of partner I have. I am married to a thespian who graduated from the University of Lagos creative arts, so she understands my job. Also, coupled with the fact that I am not so much of an outgoing person, if it is not my work, I am at home. So they understand that every little time I have, I am with my family, so I think I am blessed.
