Femi who is said to be at the pinnacle of his career. With a recent government appointment and brand endorsement deal, is having things going for him.
The talented actor admits that every stride he makes, he owes to his father, Adebayo Salami.
Femi, in a recent chat with newsmen, admits that his father’s status as a veteran definitely gave his career a desired push.
“I used to take acting as a hobby and not a profession. It was actually a hobby turned profession. Professionally, I had always wanted to be a lawyer so I went to school to study and I graduated as a lawyer. But I just realised that I’m having more fun and I was more comfortable in the entertainment world. That was why I chose acting,” he said.
The thespian also revealed that he has learnt so much from his father, using the opportunity to say thank you to him. “I must say that if I am opportune to come into this world again, I want to come through him. Daddy is an extremely humble man and we learnt that from him. Apart from the fact that he’s a talented actor, daddy is a born leader and the attribute of leadership, we took from him. I’ve been using so much of his principles in my daily activities and it has been really working for me. So I give it to him. And I must say that I owe 85% of my success to him,” said the younger Adebayo.
