Actor Ayoola Ayolola, who starred in the SGIT series and hails from Nollywood, has shared the reasons for his desire to pursue acting.
In an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, Ayolola disclosed how he transformed into the actor his fans have come to know, while also saying that he had always known he had acting talent.
He claimed that although he was aware of his acting talent, he didn’t pursue it until he was broke and able to support himself.
He said, “I always knew I could act. I had this mentality that as a stage performer, I was acting as well. I always knew that no matter what happened before going on stage, I would go there and I would deliver. The fact that I was doing that gave me the courage to try acting. But the decision didn’t come until I was so broke and so hungry.”
Not hungry for success o, I was physically hungry for days and I couldn’t afford things,” he said. “I was borrowing from here to pay for this and borrowing from there to pay for that. It was a mess. I had my car that I had won and the leverage and whatever but liquid cash I didn’t have. I wasn’t smart enough at the time to convert the things I had at the time into sustainability financially. So I was bored, broke, and hungry,” he told Chude.
