Nollywood actor, Lateef Adedimeji in a recent interview reveals that he got his emotional acting ability from his mother.
The actor who is the fifth child in a family of nine, unveiled this in a chat with Mobola Sadiq.
My mum had always known that I wanted to be an actor but my dad didn’t. My father didn’t even know that I was a dancer because I was doing it in the background. By the time he knew, it was already late. But eventually, my dad realised that I found more joy in acting than doing any other work. He left me to pursue my acting career and I’m sure he is proud of me today.
Speaking on why it is always easy to cry in his movies, he said:
I got that skill from my mother; she is a very emotional person. If she laughs too hard, tears would drop from her eyes. Meanwhile, I cannot stand the tears. Even if it’s just a joke, it would affect me. I now cry without even thinking about anything deep.
I know that there are some factors around me that could always make me cry.
