The secret to my success…, actor Lateef Adedimeji
Nigerian actor, film-maker, producer, Lateef Adedimeji, has revealed the secret to his immense success playing roles in movies.
The Lagos-born actor, in Instagram Live chat with comedian, Arole, said he laid down his plans when he decided to venture into the movie industry.
The 34 years old also added that talent must be developed through constant learning.
He said,
“A lot of celebrities didn’t plan to be successful. The first secret of my success is having a plan. When I was coming into the industry, I knew it was possible to be an actor and succeed. It was also possible that I would not succeed. I asked myself several questions such as, ‘If I didn’t succeed, was I supposed to be there for the rest of my life’? ‘Did I have another plan in case things didn’t work out as planned’? ‘If I succeeded, how did I intend to use my fame’?
He added,
“It is one thing to be talented; it is another thing to gather other things and incorporate them into that talent. I learn from virtually everything I see. I study everything I see and everyone I meet on a daily basis, building on each one of them before going to bed. At a time I needed to interpret 12 different characters, I went back to my archives and brought out the different characters that I had studied over time,” he said.
