The multi-talented actor and content creator Saga Adeoluwa has opened up about his journey from reality TV star to acting.
When discussing his difficulties, Saga named time management as one of the most significant obstacles he had to overcome in his acting career.
“Being an actor is very, very time-consuming and exhausting. We work ridiculous hours, sometimes from 9 a.m. till 9 a.m. the following day, with no time for sleep. If you sleep in between, you risk looking tired or saggy, and it will show on screen,” he revealed.
Beyond the gruelling schedule, Saga also addressed the stigma attached to Big Brother Naija alumni, stating that many people assume former housemates lack real talent and only thrive on privilege.
“A lot of people believe that Big Brother Naija talents don’t have talents but are only privileged. Overcoming the stigma of being seen as an under-talented and overpriced ex-housemate to becoming a respected actor was difficult because many assume we are all noise and no action. I had to prove that wrong,” he said.
In addition to acting, Saga emphasized his versatility, noting that he is also an artist and a full-time content creator. His dedication to honing his craft and breaking industry stereotypes continues to earn him recognition in the entertainment space.
