Famous Nollywood actor and producer Femi Adebayo has opened up about a memorable incident where he accidentally slapped his father, veteran actor Adebayo Salami, popularly known as Oga Bello. The incident occurred in 2008 on the set of actress Funke Akindele’s film, ‘Taiwo Taiwo’.
In his latest interview, Femi addressed the incident, which has since become a trending topic on social media. He described the slap as unintentional and admitted that it wasn’t part of the script.
Femi explained, “I ended up slapping my father in Funke Akindele’s movie, ‘Taiwo Taiwo’ while trying to act like an aggressive thief. It wasn’t in the film that I had to slap him, but the character was an aggressive thief, and the man didn’t want to give us money and I just realized that I raised my hand to hit him.”
He further shared that after the scene, he immediately apologized to his father. “So, when I begged him after the scene, he was like you would have been in trouble if you had failed to hit me,” Femi recounted.
