My dream is to be one of the greatest actors – Seyi Awolowo

Nigerian actor and Big Brother Naija star, Seyi Awolowo has revealed that his aspiration in Nollywood is to be “one of the greatest actors that will interpret characters”.

Awolowo stated this in a recent interview while noting there is yet to be a role or character given to him to interpret which he can describe as the toughest.

The movie star also said that celebrities don’t need publicity stunts to stay relevant, rather they should just work hard, and success is guaranteed.

He said; “My aspiration as an actor is to be one of the greatest actors that will interpret characters that will steal the hearts of many across the world, and give people defining moments that will be captured in history books. I aspire for the greatest achievements in the industry.

“I haven’t exactly interpreted any character that I can describe as the toughest. There was a character I played that was a negative person, which would probably be the toughest. But right after, it didn’t seem tough anymore.”

Speaking on the practice of entertainers using PR stunts to promote themselves, Seyi said; “I don’t think celebrities need publicity stunts to stay relevant; they only need to work hard. Publicity stunts create a very negative undertone, and it can easily be abused.

“If I was doing anything else, I would have put in as much energy as I am doing now. I still think I would have been destined for great things. Before BBN, I was acting to a certain degree.”
