Popular actor, Deyemi Okanlawon, has stated that he has hardly slept for more than four hours because of his encounter with a motivational speaker.
Okanlawon who has starred in movies like ‘Castle and Castle, Omo Ghetto: The Saga and others, took to his verified Twitter page on Monday to recount how the motivational speaker changed his sleeping pattern.
According to him, he was told that rich people do not sleep for more than four hours and that’s why he adopted the pattern.
His Twitter thread read, “I have hardly slept more than four hours in nearly 20 year but I can close my eyes in a stadium right in the middle of a match and sleep off in five minutes plus nothing can wake me up until my 4hrs is complete!
“The reason? Na one motivational speaker tell me say rich people no dey sleep pass four hours. Well, I have the 4hrs on lockdown, na the money remain,” he completed in Pidgin English.
In an interview, Okanlawon said he had to eat raw pepper in a movie to interpret the role.
“The first is acting as ‘Femi Stone’ in Funke Akindele and JJC’s movie, Omo Ghetto: The Saga. Not only because of the sheer scale of the production and the calibre of actors I was working with but it was the first time I was cast to play such a role and I thank the Scene One production team for providing all the support I needed.
The second is the character, ‘Fogo Bombastic’ in Niyi Akinmolayan’s movie, The Prophetess, where I had to speak Yoruba. I had never done that before and I also had to eat raw pepper throughout the production. The third was acting as ‘Bayo Olaoluwa’ in Yewande Zacheus’ movie, The Wait, which was extremely emotional for me because my wife and I had faced the same issues in real life”.
