Yoruba Nollywood actress Olamide Odunlade has opened up about the difficult choices she has had to make in pursuit of her acting career, revealing that she once chose her passion for acting over a relationship that could have led to marriage.
The actress disclosed that her former fiancé’s mother gave her an ultimatum to choose between her son and her acting career, a decision she said ultimately led to the end of the relationship.
Speaking in an interview with Potpourri, Odunlade said she had no hesitation in choosing acting, describing the profession as a lifelong passion she has nurtured since childhood.
“My ex-fiancé’s mum called me and asked me to choose between her son and my career, and I chose my career because I believe in myself and my craft. I chose acting because I have had passion for it right from childhood. I have always played lead roles in drama productions and I love acting a lot. It is my life,” she said.
