Nigerian thespian, Deyemi Okanlawon has stated that he never wanted to become a famous actor.

The thespian, who switched from engineering to the entertainment industry, explained that he came into the industry to ā€œdo the work,ā€ stressing that ā€œfame was the collateral upside.ā€

Speaking in the latest episode of Celebrity Quickies, Deyemi said:

ā€œTo be honest, I didnā€™t know this side of fame. I didnā€™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.”
