“I got injured on the set of the movie I just concluded works on. I did a stunt and broke my leg. I am not in a hospital, I am at home but as we speak I have a POP cast on my leg."
"The character I was playing had to climb the roof of a house because he had some spiritual problems. When the landlord of the house realised that someone was on his roof, he called the police and while avoiding arrest, the character had to jump off the roof of the house."
"That was how I broke my leg and the doctors said that the cast would be on my leg for a month."
The actor represents one of the new generation of funny Yoruba actors, who have acquired a stereotype for humorous roles, which has earned him quite a following.
