Eccentric media personality and actor, Denrele Edun has said there was a time he had just three shirts. Recounting his days of little beginnings, the award winning TV presenter took to his Instagram page sharing the tale of his humble beginnings.

According to him: ”This throwback shot is to TITI FANTA – the exquisitely beautiful model with me; the Intelligent @titithedynamite who stole my heart in my adolescent years! We listened to the same kind of music, read the same kind of books, jumped all the buses for every single casting in town, argued over the silliest things and yes, we even had a choreographed dance routine for all the clubs especially 11:45 in Ikoyi!

See the shirt I gat on? She bought it for me. Twas bout 2k or so but then I had just 3 shirts and 4 jeans so it was truly a welcome addition to my meagre wardrobe. We fought about this but she eventually had her way and got it for me. And so we trekked to Surulere (from Alagomeji, Yaba) and took this shot at Shola’s studio. Plus I actually tore out the “Tommy Hilfiger” logo from a model’s shirt (hanging in the changing room) and quickly pinned it on to my boxers….Do have a good laff on me!
