Nollywood actor and producer, Deyemi Okanlawon has said he didn\u2019t join the entertainment industry because of fame.<\/p>\n
The thespian, who switched from engineering to the entertainment industry, explained that he came into the industry to \u201cdo the work,\u201d stressing that \u201cfame was the collateral upside.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaking in the latest episode of Celebrity Quickies, Deyemi said: \u201cTo be honest, I didn\u2019t know this side of fame. I didn\u2019t come into the industry to be famous. I came to do the work and the collateral upside of doing the work was fame. So, I quickly adapted with the understanding that it is just part of the job.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn fact, I try to remove that from my head to help me stay grounded.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said his biggest regret is not starting his acting career earlier.<\/p>\n
He said the Hollywood actresses he would like to go on dates with are Viola Davies and Meryl Streep.<\/p>\n
