Popular actor, Deyemi Okanlawon has averred that the one thing he is uncomfortable about being a celebrity is the loss of his privacy.
Speaking in a chat with Punch, the actor said:” The one thing I am uncomfortable with about being in the public space is the loss of privacy. However, I learnt early in my career to strictly separate my public life from my personal life, and to be intentional in choosing what I share”.
On whether he sees his career as overwhelming he said:”Interestingly, I have never found my acting career to be overwhelming. I would rather say that being a celebrity can be quite overwhelming. However, in that case, I am lucky that I have never really viewed myself as one (a celebrity). I think I am just like any regular guy with a job. The only difference is that my work gets to be seen in cinemas, on TV and other platforms. The first that comes to mind is the pressure of “Baba, come and do giveaway (Sir, do giveaways”. Meanwhile, we (celebrities) are looking for who would also do giveaway for us too ”.
Sharing his opinion about causes, Okanlawon said:”While I personally choose to support many social causes, I believe that everyone has the right to determine whether or not to do that, and how to use their popularity, influence and voice”.
