‘I’m not comfortable with fame’ – Actor, Yemi Blaq

Published on

Nigerian actor Yemi Blaq has revealed that he is not one who enjoys fame. According to him, he is not comfortable with fame.

In a chat with The Nation, the Ondo State actor explains why he is not the regular actor who seeks fame; noting that he just wanted to be a good actor.

He said, “My aims and vision were just to be a good actor. To be good at what I do to be recognised for it, to be able to do the job for a long time.

“I love the fact that acting gives me the chance to live many lifetimes in one so for me, that was basically all,” Yemi said.

“Not for the fame; nor really for the money. I mean it’s good to make a living out of it but I wasn’t focused on just doing it because I want to be famous.

“Quite contrary to what one would expect as an actor, I’m not one that seeks fame that much, fame is not something that I’m comfortable with, I like to be anonymous.

“I’m a simple person and for me, it’s just to get the job done, what I love doing,” he said.

“I think it’s important to keep on being yourself and being true to yourself so over the years people will see that and respond to it.

“So for me, coming into the industry, I didn’t come on the strength of hype, I came on the strength of my God-given talent and that is what I’ve used so far and in the confidence that is also reposed by the public who consume the product of my talent,” he continued.

Yemi Olatunji Blaq popularly known as Yemi Blaq is a popular Nollywood actor, songwriter, filmmaker, model and television personality
