Actor Rotimi Salami has shared the terrible experience of being repeatedly rejected by movie producers due to his appearance.
In an interview with Feelrightnews TV, he stated that despite his passion and perseverance, he was consistently discouraged by producers who saw his face and slender build as inappropriate for main roles.
He described the emotional toll of the rejections as unbearable.
“I cried when some producers said they couldn’t give me movie roles because of my face and body”, he said.
He recounted the struggles of attending auditions, only to be met with disappointment, and the frustration of being typecast due to his physical appearance.
“It was not easy at all during the time of our movie auditions because it was quite far from where I was living”, he said.
