Nollywood actor Deyemi Okanlawon claims that if he hadn’t decided to pursue acting, he would have followed a career as a priest.
Deyemi Okanlawon revealed in a recent interview with Pulse that his desire to engage an audience finally prompted him to pursue acting as a career.

He made it clear that he is against domestic violence, despite claims to the contrary stemming from some of the parts he has played in films.
The actor claimed that the most absurd thing people have ever said about him is that he is expensive to hire.
He however, clarified that it’s not a rumor.
