The story of grass to grace or humble beginning was that of Award-winning Nollywood actor, Lateef Adedimeji. He on his Instagram page revealed how he started as an actor, and it is not a palatable story at all.
He disclosed that he used to borrow money and clothes before going to movie auditions. He said that when the challenge was too much, he got discouraged and almost gave up his dream of making a career out of acting.
The popular actor, who took his followers down memory lane in a story titled “Na who give up fuck up,” said he was shamed and bullied during the early years of his acting career.
Adedimeji, Best Actor 2022 Best of Nollywood Awards, began acting 15 years ago. The Kudi Klepto actor, narrating his odyssey via his Instagram page, said he was never paid for movies he featured in during his early years: “Memories of the days I borrowed money to go on movie sets, borrow clothes to wear on set even though I wasn’t getting paid, I remember begging for money and food to survive.”

“Then the times I finally started getting paid 1k, 2k, 5k for a lead role, I remember receiving the payments with so much joy, happiness, and gratitude,” he posted.
