Nollywood actor Bolanle Ninolowo, has revealed the amount he was paid for his first movie role.
Read Excerpts from his interview with Sunday Sun:
First featured movie?
Rebirth. It was also my debut screen appearance. The plot of the movie was woven around HIV awareness and stigmatization.
Your breakthrough movie?
It was Husbands of Lagos. That was in 2015. It was fantastic. It was about five husbands and the character I played was one of them.
First day on stage?
It was scary. Everyone doing something the first time of their life, you would expect a bit of fright and later you overcome it.
Embarrassment
Well, it happens. A couple of times. That was in the past. None that I can remember now.
First trip abroad?
I was raised in Chicago. My first trip to Nigeria was about eight or so years ago. I came to Nigeria in 2007. That was when I moved back. I’m back here to stay but if work takes me there, why not?
First income as an actor?
It was N10,000. I don’t think it would be proper to say the name of the movie. That was my first appearance.
First day on location?
You just prayed to get things right, to deliver right, to play the character right. That’s all you pray for, just to do it right.
First endorsement/brand ambassadorship?
It’s so fantastic. I’m elated, excited to get endorsement, to get recognized. It is a good thing for me. I love OUD. It’s a fantastic perfume and when I enter any place, people ask me what fragrance I use. I’m really cool with the brand.
