He prefers to be referred to as a thespian, according to him.
"Perhaps, it's because I am original," the role interpreter said when asked how he's been able to stay relevant in the profession for as long as he has.
Acting is something I'm very passionate about.
It's not about the money or the celebrity for me.
That is why I dislike being referred to as a celebrity.
I prefer to be referred to as an actor.
A celebrity is a ‘diva’, while an actor is a thespian. A thespian understands that no matter what happens, the show must go on.
A thespian is focused on getting the job done and he wants to impart knowledge. It is not just about showing his face in a movie.”
Reflecting on the changes he would like to see in Nollywood, Adeolu said, “I will like to see more professionals in the industry.
If you are interested in acting or being behind the camera, you have to get the necessary training. It is not just about having an interest in it; you need to get formal training.
“One also needs to protect one’s name and brand. Some people are all about making money; while others are particular about maintaining a good name. Having a good name is better than any other thing. One should have a name that unborn generations would be proud of.”
