By Yetunde Ogunmola

Nollywood Actor, Femi Adebayo, has explained that being an actor has made him do some terrible things such as slapping his father, Adebayo Salami, aka Oga Bello.

While speaking with Sunday Scoop, he said as an actor, one must be ready to do anything to play unbelievable roles.

He stated, “I have been presented with scripts where I had to slap my father on set and I must do it as an actor. He has slapped me on set too countless times.”

According to him “The moment we are acting, I don’t see him as my father anymore; I see him as a colleague and we need to interpret our roles very well”.

The Actor further revealed that his father trained him and he is also his boss in the industry “He has taught me not to fear whenever I come across a bigger actor or someone like him on set, But the moment the director says stop, I prostrate to him and apologise.”
