Versatile actor, filmmaker and social media influencer, Lateef Adedimeji has said that most celebrities were not prepared for fame.
Adedimeji made this known during an Instagram live chat with Abisoye Ajayi Akinfolarin, a social entrepreneur.
In his words: “Most celebrities were not prepared for fame. Tell me how you would achieve so much from the fame you were not prepared for? I tell them in my NGO ,you must have a Plan A and a Plan B in whatever you are doing. I was trained by an NGO that dealt with commercial se* workers, STI’s and other issues. This impacted on me positively.
While deciding to be an actor, I asked myself two questions: 'What If I succeed? What If I don’t succeed? If I don’t succeed, do I just want to be there?’
If I succeed what do I want to do with the fame? I was able to answer these questions ever before I became famous. Going back to check mate myself from time to time, kept me on track”.
Speaking further, the handsome actor noted that people get distracted the moment fame and money comes.
“People get distracted, the moment the fame and money comes. They forget their plan. You going back from time to time, can be compared to you fueling your car.
"When people say youths are the leaders of tomorrow, I ask myself how much pressure are these youths putting on themselves to be able to withstand the pressure of leadership”?
