Excerpts
How far has it been this year?
This year has being my best year ever. I did lots of great movies! Few were released as well. I got bigger in my career, my income doubled as well. I achieved a lot this year and finally moved into a lovely house and a peaceful environment, Crown Estate Lekki. I am indeed grateful to God for everything.
How many movies did you do this year?
I did a lot of movies this year, I don’t know how many.
What made you veered into music?
I ran into an old friend who is working on an album. So I decided to do something with him because I used to rap a long time ago.
How well is your music career doing?
We’ll be recording two tracks in January. I think it is going well so far.
Which movie gave you the break you needed?
The movie that gave me the break would be ‘Sleek Ladies’ shot in 2007.
What has been your highest payoff for a movie?
I wouldn’t want to reveal that here, but I’m earning good money.
There has been gist that you and Nuella Njubigbo have being dating. Nuella confirmed it! How’s the relationship today, any wedding bells?
About Miss Nuella, as a young actor there were bound to be a few distractions here and there. But your ability to overcome and focus is what makes you grow. I am a happily married man and I am not dating Nuella.
Your dad is a veteran in the industry, how has he affected your growth, your love for acting and life style?
My dad’s presence in the movie scene has definitely affected me; he inspired me to go study acting in school. He named me after a great Hollywood actor Yul Brynner. I always tell myself that I must not fail because I have a solid background. But I don’t think it has affected my lifestyle, I live the way I want to and do what I feel is right. Like I said before, I owe it all to God.
